Revenge of the Mummy (USH)

[nicodingus]

Maybe could happen in the SS between the transformers and mummy ride

I'm going to hold out hope.
Honestly, The Mummy is one of Universal's all-time biggest IPs so they'd definitely be missing out not to have some sort of representation at the parks. Fingers crossed we do eventually get something updated.

They really can’t fix JUST the projector for the dome ceiling? Don’t really need the other effects to work again.

This must be the USH version of the Yeti at Animal Kingdom

Grain of salt be applied--but it sounds like UC Executives were touring within and around the Mummy building tonight for an unknown reason.

 

[Ron101]

Remember that Mummy is never leaving USH despite our cries. We’ve been burned many times. Perhaps they are seeing what color to repaint the faded building lol.

I don’t see Mummy going anywhere until the LA Olympics are done.

Same here. It gets longer lines than Transformers most days and is still highly popular.

 

[Mad Dog]

It's popular even though it doesn't have a 'classic cup of coffee'.

I dont mind the Mummy leaving but....not now. They need to add another ride/sub area to the park and no not the Simpsons area like another area. To me with the crowds of this last year and HHN, I think a new area is needed before 2028 and that will take some time so it hopefully will start as F&F is opening

 

[AlexanderMBush]

I think if Mummy goes, then I have to think part of this has to come to accessibility and pathways--and the issues that have seemingly been prevalent with the Lower Lot Midway being as congested as it is.

The park needs a 3 coaster system, and a family thrill feels like something that'd be beneficial to pair alongside the Family (Hippo) and High-Thrill (Hollywood Drift). If Mummy is replaced--I hope they can figure something out to help that; and by extension, also opening up pathways down there.

The mummy has at least another 4 years.


Edit: I think that’s the biggest possibility, the mummy does NOT need to be replaced by another ride.

I genuinely have to ask and wonder, especially considering as they would now of seen how bad and how congested the Midway goes at it's worst time.

Could be possible they are looking at potential options; one including say, an open hub with a show attached. The Mummy showbuilding plus the nearby chiller gives a lot of space that could be used rather well.

All jokes aside, the Mummy and surrounding soundstages are the easiest options for freeing up the lower lot congestion. A branched out walkway loop or hub like @AlexanderMBush mentioned would help tremendously. Universal Creative also has the approval from pretty much the entire community to remove Mummy without much sadness/backlash. After F&F opens I can see big priority for lower lot quality of life improvements.

I think there'd be a form of a sadness, but it'd be because of the backwards section and how the coaster shines with it. Otherwise, I am content if it goes for something akin to Universal Plaza--if it means the Lower Lot is given space to breathe.

My opinion stands on the Three Coaster system--but they need to get the entertainment back up to par for the park. Especially with the prospects of the property becoming a legitimate resort destination; you can't just have the nighttime Hogwarts shows as your selling point.

I rather then fix the crowding than a ride tbh. We need places to sit or something that does not require long lines

Precisely. Even if it means we lose a coaster in the short term; and lose a HHN venue in the process--they have additional venues for HHN and they also have the options to bring a third coaster in to round out the high thrill and family market eventually.

I also think the Supply Vault being converted into a Production Central like store also raises me to wonder on the viability and future for venues on that side of the road in the short term.

I guess this is an unpopular opinion, but Mummy needs to be replaced by a better indoor coaster. I think replacing it with another plaza, even if it means better crowd flow, is not gonna fly with the general public. You need to give it a worthy replacement.
