Revenge of the Mummy
— — the dark between two bursts of fire.
Not only on a wall.
“An indoor roller coaster wearing the skin of an Egyptian tomb. The queue is dressed as an archaeological dig set up by a film crew, then the dig turns on itself. The ride launches in the dark, runs backward, drops you into a chamber of warrior mummies and a ceiling of flame, and lets you out beside a soundstage door on Canal Street. Orlando families know the smell of the propane before they know the name of the coaster.
Revenge of the Mummy, on ceramic.
Each tile is finished by hand in our Knoxville studio. Artwork is slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, and rests beneath a thin glossy finish. The colour lives in the surface, not on top of it.

The place, in three passes.
Revenge of the Mummy opened at Universal Studios Florida on 17 May 2004, replacing the Kongfrontation attraction in the park's New York section. The ride is an indoor steel roller coaster built by Premier Rides, themed around Stephen Sommers's Mummy film cycle and using practical fire effects, projected scarabs, and a linear induction motor launch. Riders enter through a queue dressed as a Hollywood film set built on top of an Imhotep dig, board a twelve-seat car, and travel through a Karnak-style chamber before the track reverses and drops them into a darkened second show building.
The first thing most riders notice before the safety bar locks is the heat. The flame effects above the warrior-mummy chamber use real propane bursts that push a wave of hot air down across the seats, and the room is sealed enough that the smell of combustion stays in the queue between cycles. Universal lists a 48-inch height minimum and a ride time of just under three minutes. The car never goes outside; the entire experience lives inside one show building beside the soundstage facade on Canal Street.
Universal Studios Florida sits about ten miles south-west of downtown Orlando along Universal Boulevard. Single-day admission and a separate Express Pass are sold through Universal's site; Mummy is one of the headline attractions covered by the pass and tends to draw a 30 to 60 minute standby queue on a regular operating day. Lockers outside the entrance are required for loose articles. The ride accommodates riders 48 inches and taller, with single-rider and child-swap lanes; nearby quieter options in the same section include the Race Through New York show.
