Back in December on the Front page news i had posted some details on a proposed new ride at Universal called Revenge of the Mummy.
Heres an update on it --- Universal says the new attraction -- an unusual fusion of high-speed roller coasting technology, pyrotechnic effects and space-age robotics -- is one of its most ambitious and technologically advanced to date. Revenge of the Mummy will open simultaneously at Universal Orlando and Universal Studios Hollywood in spring 2004.
Revenge of Mummy will hurtle passengers through Egyptian sets, chambers, passageways and tombs in vehicles that move backward and forward. During the ride, which will last about five minutes, riders will pass through a "ceiling of flame" that hovers inches above them and encounter a skeleton warrior who leaps on the rider's vehicle. The skeleton uses technology similar to that of the Mars robotic range vehicle.
