Revenge of the Mummy (USH)

[Karas]

No sense to rip Kong out of Backlot Tour as it is one of the central features that grants the ride its popularity. I do say, that if the rumor is true about Mummy's closure then I won't miss. Not that I don't like the ride but the soundstage has been taking up WAY too much space for any future development. It would be cool if they manage to adopt the props to the Floridan ride.

Not necessarily rip out. They could easily returned it to a different IP, it's just screens except for the entrance tunnel. I do get though how it'd be pointless since it's not doing badly or anything.

The Mummy is a disappointing but I find it more re-ridable than 80% of stuff we have in the park.

I'm tired of talking about this ride...let's demolish it already!

Give it a few months!

 

[Allia]

Noo!! Haha

 

[Wesker69]

You people have no souls... clearly you've encountered Imhotep...

Sources are telling me Diagon Alley to replace Mummy and surrounding sound stages. We'll find out if it's true.

 

[Nland316]

With our lack of space, I'd much rather have that space be used for different properties (plural) instead of Diagon Alley. It'd be limiting to just have Potter in such a small park.

That would be an amazing contrast to Orlando. JP is next to Hogsmeade over there, here it may be next to Diagon. In Orlando, Diagon is near Simpsons, at USH, Simpsons is next to Hogsmeade.

It would also be so weird seeing Diagon Alley from a bird's eye view from the Star Way!

Okay, but that view alone is almost making me want it to happen now??

I agree.  Again, the reveal is lost.

I also do not like Diagon in the Lower Lot because in the attempt of storyline, wouldn't you want to start your visit in London and travel to Hogwarts?  Our park will have it backwards.

I'll argue that USO has the liberty to go with either Hogsmeade first and then Diagon, and the opposite goes on; thanks to the damned Hogwarts Express. Which speaking of,


I believe on OU is where Parkscopejoe mentioned that Hogwarts Express IS coming to our version, just like Orlandos. Hopefully he can give some info on how the living hell that's to happen here, but that's interesting to note.

 

[Wesker69]

So how about that curse being real... IMHOTEP LIVES... IMHOTEP LIVES....

Unless they were to enclose the roof and make DA a slightly smaller, completely indoors experience. That would create a challenge but isn't completely unreasonable.

 

[Ryan]

Hallow out the hill and store it inside.

I've heard on numerous occasions we will get DA, but time and time again the location has been just below FJ, with a relocation of the tram garages and loading area. I have also heard that we will see a land based on the classic monsters. Every discussion of it included the ROTM still be part of it, however as with anything at Universal currently... plans are changing on a regular basis. Personally I don't love ROTM, but I also don't hate it. I truly appreciate what they did with the space they had. Orlando's version is much better than ours, but space was on their side along with the budget.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one who heard about a classic monsters land! Haven't heard about the fate of the Mummy, but I hope they redo it.

 

[peasoupprincess]

I would be seriously down for a classic monsters land! Would probably soothe the wound of Stage 28's demolition and missing the end of Graveyard Revue in Orlando for me.
