Spoilers for Revenge of Mummy ride

[CTXRover]

Hey Justin, I have to somewhat agree with DigitalDisney on one thing. What would be the harm in saying what information in that article is wrong? You wouldn't have to say why or what is actually going to happen, but instead just a list of the items that are false so we know what "not" to expect, you know?

That way you won't be divulging any secrets or details that may jeaporadize your job (?), but just making light to what is false. A simple list of the items that are wrong would suffice, no explanation needed on why they are wrong or what is really going to happen is needed. Thanks

I have seen just about everything for this ride. The cars are very simular to Disney's Dinosaur. 4 rows, 4 people per row. Heavy/bulky looking beige in color. There is going to be a TON of egyptian props in this ride. I have seen the soundstage full of the stuff.. its PACKED. By the way the cars look i doubt it will do any inverts. The cars don't look like rollercoaster cars at all, it seems to be with all the props there is its going to be a very very detailed dark ride. Prepare to be frightened.

Since you've seen the cars, could you answer some questions???

Are they rows stadium seating so each row is higher then the one before it so everyone has I good view? (I read that somewhere that they would be like that)?

Also. What are the restraints on the cars? Are they lap bars, seat belts, over the shoulder, etc.?

 

[WDWspider]

It looks like a coaster to me????

Justin: Why not just defend yourself? And why in the world are you taunting us? I know you're not a person with < 10 posts making an outlandish claim. Still, please defend your argument. What was incorrect in the article? Why won't you or can't you say any more? If people are reading this thread, then they have already been spoiled and they are ready to be spoiled again.

Maybe my initial comments were harsh, but I have no regrets in my posting them. I'm not trying to be mean, but I'm pretty peeved about this whole situation because it happens way too much in general.

Honestly, what you did was rude. What is the purpose of saying that some things in the article were wrong without saying what they were? Or why can't you tell us what is wrong? You're just teasing us.

CTXRover: Thank you. You found the main point in my post. If somebody says "That isn't correct" without telling us what is wrong or what the correct information is, then that is deliberate taunting.

woofboy: While I've never seen the ride, I would imagine, given today's level of safety requirements, that the ride has OTSHs instead of seat belts or lap bars. Based on the description in that article, it sounds like the ride has some wicked hills and excessively banked turns.

WDWspider: RnRCJohn was talking about the vehicle description. I can see how you would be confused because he made it sound like the ride vehicle was an EMV. In reality, I think he was just talking about a coaster car. I could be wrong though...

If that's the case, then it sounds very very interesting and I understand where I got confused. So the cars would be able to bump and move according to elements through the ride and then become stationary to ride on the track I guess. At any rate it sounds very advanced and a not to be missed experience.

When IoA was opened, I wanted to go, but not go out of my way to go... however Spider-man blew my mind cause it was so unexpected. Now... after spider-man and reading the great potential that the Mummy may have.... I actually want to plan a trip to Universal just to ride this ride. I never thought I'd say that. :lol:

There is a lot of confusion and misinterpretation of the ride vehicles that MAY lead to disappointment on some level when this ride opens. However, it is 100% a fact that Mummy will NOT have inversions. This ride is more or less a detailed dark ride in the beginning which then turns into a traditional coaster near the end, going very fast up and down hills and banked curves.

It is believed the restraints are in fact just lap bars, but that isn't for sure yet. Also, it seems the rumor of the vehicles having motion capabilities ala Dinosaur or Spiderman may NOT be true. Recent reports indicate the vehicle is a normal "shortened" coaster-car with four rows of 4 seats across that ride on a coaster track throughout the ride, but don't experience the "coaster-like thrills" until the end.

Now until I or someone experiences it themselves, this comparison is just my opinion to help better clarify how this ride will "act". The ride is like a dark ride that becomes fast at the end. Think of this like Test Track. It goes through an inside ride area pretty slowly than takes off at 64.8 MPH at the end.

Why is it doubtful?????
Apparently the ride uses a magnetic launch system, creating a similar launch to the hulk and RNRC

 

[The_CEO]

Yup sure does. But does it mean its going to go 64.8 MPH?

I love the .8. Thats wonderful.


Hulk goes 40 MPH... Why would Mummy * Which is in a limited warehouse *, go over 30 MPH?

Rock and Roller Coaster is also in a limited warehouse, and I'm pretty sure that has a launch speed of 57 mph. From what I've been hearing the launch in the Mummy is supposed to be prety intense. But who knows for sure? only time will tell.

 

[The_CEO]

All true. I just don't see them blasting riders off with only a lap bar restraint. Lap bar restraints don't limit you from turning or moving around. In that case. I don't see them blasting you off so you can turn quickly. I know it will accelerate. But I don't see it going 60 MPH.

 

[ChrisTUK]

I see your point, but how do we know that there are no shoulder restraints....the article that this post refers to says the following: -

The coaster ride includes some 0-G weightlessness all the way up to positive 3.5-Gs moments. There are no inversions, but there are some highly banked 80-degree turns

It also mentions that the ride features a 1.5g uphill launch.

Its hard to know what actually happens at the mo.
The anticipation just keeps on building, shame I have to wait until 2005 to ride it.

 

[The_CEO]

If i'm doing my math correctly. 1.5 means its a .5 increase right? So you will only feel half your wait increased on this ' launch' ?

Impressive. Even if it IS your weight +.5 on your back.. Wowsers..

Like accelerating in a car..

Fun Indeed...

So I guess you don't have to wait till 2005 my friend.

 

[ChrisTUK]

OK Ok ... It looks like we've got ourselves a comedian here :lol:

I think not :snore:

1.5 G's may not seem a lot, but think about it. Its 1.5 g's that are unexpected, in a small vehicle, in a dark environment.... You'll notice more force than if you were in your standard every day car.

I think you also missed the part about the ride including 3.5g's and 0 g's.

And remember, at this moment in time.....

EVERYTHING WE'VE READ ABOUT THE RIDE AT THE MOMENT CAN ONLY BE VIEWED AS SPECULATION AND RUMOURS. THEY ARE NOT OFFICIAL DETAILS...

End of.

Good topic though!

I know... I'm respecting your views. Respect mine. Don't need to get hostile.

 

[ChrisTUK]

No hostile feelings intended.. sorry if it came across that way, lets not knick pick over a ride that isn't even open yet, and may be the one of greatest rides ever created.

Heres looking to April 2004....

P.S
Anyone have an ideas about the so called suprise ending featured in the ride????

 

[The_CEO]

It's alright - must of been the ALL caps

Hmm big ending. * thinks *


I would hope it would contain Fire

Wow! I created a huge misunderstanding that I sincerely apologize for. I didn't mean that Mummy would go 64.8MPH, I was talking about Test Track in my comparison (that is TT's top speed isn't it? ). I understand though what happened, the way I wrote is very confusing, but I never meant to imply Mummy would go that fast. In fact, I'm positive it won't go that fast. I'm thinking more of 40mph, tops.

Initial reports indicate the launch will be similar to Hulk in that you will be shot up a ramp. Then you will be pulled down fast, thus the "weightless" remark. This is no different than any other coaster out there. Don't expect a revolutionary coaster design. The revolutionary idea here is the combining of a detailed dark ride with some neat special effects with the thrill of a coaster, not the actual coaster itself. I feel that this ride, no matter how amazing, is bound to disappoint on some levels from the hype, mainly created by Universal themselves who call it a spiderman type ride crossed with the Hulk. This is very misleading in a number of ways giving rise to the belief that the ride vehicles would have motion capabilities, 3D images, and the track would have inversions, among others. Of course, as someone here said, everything on any rumor board is still just that, rumors and speculation, so take what I'm saying with a grain of salt.
