The story of Revenge of the Mummy
Universal announced the new attraction in May 2003, promising a substantial indoor ride for its Florida park. Construction followed in the New York section of Universal Studios Florida, where it replaced an earlier attraction. coasterpedia.net· latimes.com
Premier Rides brought together a steel coaster, linear-induction propulsion, switch track and a turntable, allowing the course to stop, reverse and launch again within its enclosed building. The result was a technically intricate ride with no need for an outdoor hillside or a conventional lift. coasterpedia.net· premier-rides.com· themeit.com
Revenge of the Mummy opened to visitors on May 21, 2004, after several weeks of testing. Contemporary reports placed the investment at forty million dollars and described the attraction as one of the season's principal new rides. coasterpedia.net· latimes.com· vindyarchives.com
Premier Rides later described the installation as a technically complex attraction, combining magnetic propulsion with rapid track switches and carefully timed effects. Its stated operating capacity remains 2,244 visitors per hour. premier-rides.com· premier-rides.com
