Me, my wife, and her parents visited Universal Studios Orlando last year as it has become a yearly escape from our regular routine. We were so excited that "Revenge of the Mummy" was ready and open, it was the first ride we jumped on when we got to the park...and while the entrance to the ride was quite cool (looking much like the museum from the first movie) and then the interior where the line began looking like an ancient tomb full of treasures set the stage for what i expected to be the top ride in the park, i was majorly let down when i realized that not only was it primarily a roller coaster ride, but it was also primarily completely dark.
The chambers in which you see the mummies were awesome, the scarabs coming out of the wall were truly chilling at first, and the final battle with the mummy was pretty cool with the fire on the ceiling and stuff...but considering 80% of the ride was spent zipping through a fun house dark coaster track...with silly and cheap neon light pictures of the mummy and lights flickering...it truly reminded me of a cheap parking lot fair, and at the end of the ride, i felt like they gave up about half way through the ride and decided to just fill it with nothing.
Overall its worth riding, because parts of it are truly really cool, but of all the rides at both parks in Orlando, this one wouldn't rank top 5 at all. Its about 50% perfect and 50% terrible, creating a very mediocre experience but fun none the less.
