I rode it a total of 3 times. I never waiting over 20 minutes to ride it. First time I took the singles and got about a 15 minute wait. Second time as soon as I entered singles, I saw my friends in standby and a CM let me join them so it was about a minute wait for me. 3rd time was 20 because I waited in the normal line.
Walk-through:
Line:
It is nowhere near as good as people were saying it to be. Most of the attraction is large generic rooms with TVs playing about the movie and such. (I know of the curse thing but I didn't see anything in line or hear anything because those rooms were empty) Once actually in what looks like the Egyption place, it still isn'y much detailed. I would say whatthis rides line detail compares with would be less than pirates. There are a couple toys to play with like the NBC machine and the hologram but it is pretty much nothing special. On the room with the staircase going up, there a large statue of Anubis as junk on the floor but that's it in there. The ride already needs to be fixed in some places, someone took a big chunk out of the plaster wall in the single-rider's line.
Ride: I really like how Universal fixed their problems with loading from other rides. On ther Mummy, there are 2 loading stations that work the exact same as Big thunder. But, there are also 2 unloading stations which really helps with the flow. The cars are also nice and big. I believe it was 4 across with either 4 or 5 rows. I forgot. Departing the station the car travels around a crypt. There you turn a corner and see a mummy wearing a hat... Of course, he is supposed to represent a tourest but it does not make much sense that his hat is the only thing not covered. Anyway, he tells you that the curse is real and the mummy (ihematop or whatever) jumps out of a sarcophagus... Your car then picks up speed and you see a symbol on the wall and the walls turn a bright red. In the next room there is a High-def screen with Ihemator's head and he says join me be rich, if not then die. There is lost of gold and stuff but the greatest part is when the mummy soldiers jump out. Basically they are on par with card-board cut outs. But of course they are in 3-dimensions and are made of rubber. But they make absolutly no movements.
The next room has scarabs coming out of the walls and to get the feeling that the scarabs are on you cold water droplets fall on you. The Car emmidiatly goes backwards down a 10 foot drop before stoping. Here you see the mummy again on a screen and as the car slowly turns around, he talks to you about how were going to suffer. Once your done turning, there is a large hill about as steep as the hulks launch. Car car then launches like the Hulk up the large hill. However, there is a difference. On the mummy, the launch starts before you even start up the hill.
At the very top of the hill is the mummy's head and he "swallows" you. The car emmidiatly dives to the right and you see pictures of stuff that seems to be lit by fiber optics. It's above Card-board but it doesn't go much else. The closest ride I would compare the mummy to would be Space Mountain. However, Space Mountain has more air-time than the mummy. But the mummy is 10 mph faster than Space Mountain. Once the coaster section is done, you enter the fake ending. Someone who has common sense and time to think can figure that it is a fake ending. Bit it did get my friends. The ride operator is just a silluete and soon the Mummy jumps out and says that your souls are mine and death is just the begining. The car then goes down a hill and makes a left turn followed by a right turn into the station. There you see that other guy from the mummy and unload in a room that looks very similiar to Mission Space's exit tunnels.
Now I really did like the coaster sections. (if the second one even can be called that) Bit there were flaws. Like how confused I was at the end. The ride also seemed to be very short. Isn't the Mummy's Ride building Larger than Space Mountain's?
Well this is still the best ride at Universal Studios, and I think it is better than the Hulk (but not dueling dragons).
My final rating will be a 8/10. Great ride but not good story telling.
