That would be awesome if true. We will be in town in Early-Mid February and would love to see this one.

That struck me as odd too. It definitely blurs the line of character integrity to a new level for something that's allegedly going to be daily operations.

I also don't believe the expected life-span is as long as it historically has been at somewhere like WDW where nostalgia is such a big selling point. At a point a park can be severely hamstrung against innovation unless they are willing to reinvent rides every generation or so.

As of today operations still does not have ownership of the building and the folks who will be working the attraction are training (mostly in classrooms) but have not ridden the attraction themselves yet. My understanding is that one of the theaters is behind. The original plan was to be in soft opening by now but I wouldn't expect it until towards the end of the month. Once operations has the building everyone will need to be trained on the actual ride system and the show will need to be put through its paces before guests can ride. I expect you will see team member previews happen first and they haven't been announced yet.
On an unrelated note: I have it from a great authority that Universal has been testing a prototype of a virtual reality headset for the Mummy. They have been testing after park closing with a handful of team members. I am hearing the tests are going great and Universal may decide to go ahead and make the Mummy a VR Coaster.

VR or augmented reality? I would HATE to see a great physical coaster like Mummy to be COMPLETELY overrun with VR, but I would be more than happy if it were more along the lines of the Google Glass type tech I think they were messing with a couple of years ago.
Not to mention, I think AR is the only way to do a Mario Kart attraction justice.

I honestly do not know. I wish I had more information about The Mummy. The person said VR but I cannot confirm that and they told me that the testing has been fairly secretive.

I strongly doubt that the plan would be to turn Mummy into a VR coaster and it's most likely a test for future implementation elsewhere.
If they actually do this to Mummy then I'll give up hope of them ever doing something creative that doesn't use screens again.

Except all of Nintendo, but hey.
VR coasters are dumb though. No need to inflate wait times for crappy VR.
Hello,
We will be in Orlando from April 3 to April 7 and would like to experience the new Jimmy Fallon attraction which date do you think will be the best (less crowded) to visit Universal?
If we want to be sure to ride the attraction we need to wait till inauguration day on April 6? April 7 the park close early for a grad event.
Thanks for your help, sorry I'm afraid my english is terrible.

Thanks imperius for your response.
We will be travelling from south america, and really want to experience the new ride as we won't be returning to Orlando in the next years.
Do you think the best option is to go before April 6th to avoid the crowds and try to get softs up?

Nothing at all has been confirmed for Nintendo, but hey. Yes, I saw that cool Donkey Kong Country ride vehicle prototype - but let's see if they can actually do something cool with it and not make it yet another screen based ride.
And yes, VR coasters are terrible and it absolutely destroys the capacity.
