The story of Revenge of the Mummy
Universal and Premier Rides developed the attraction as an indoor launch coaster, combining a compact steel track with carefully controlled show scenes and special effects. The Hollywood installation was scheduled for the summer of 2004, following its sister project in Florida. thestudiotour.com· designnews.com
At Universal Studios Hollywood, construction continued inside an existing Lower Lot show building while the exterior and visitor queues were prepared around it. The ride opened to the public on June 25, 2004. themeparkinsider.com· latimes.com· coasterpedia.net
Its engineering was notable for fitting a forward-and-reverse launch system into a comparatively low indoor structure. In California, the principal launch begins on a horizontal plane, with linear motors regulating both the gentler and faster portions of the journey. designnews.com
Contemporary reports placed the construction cost at forty million dollars and described the new attraction as one of the season's most talked-about additions, especially for its use of magnetic launch technology within a dark ride setting. deseret.com
