Revenge of the Mummy

The Attraction Overview

Revenge of the Mummy is an indoor steel coaster themed around the 1999 film The Mummy, sending riders through the cursed tomb of Imhotep with sudden launches, a fireball effect, and an unexpected plunge into total darkness. It plays out as much like a dark ride as a coaster, with sets, animatronics, and practical effects woven between the track's launches.

Its signature feature is a trio of linear induction motor (LIM) launches that fling the car from a dead stop, including one that happens while the ride vehicle is spun backward in darkness — a moment that regularly catches first-time riders off guard.

The Story

The ride opened on May 21, 2004, replacing the beloved Kongfrontation attraction on the same New York-themed footprint. Built by Premier Rides, it was among the first coasters to combine heavy dark-ride theming with LIM launch technology at this scale.

Before the Clock Strikes

• Use the single-rider line when visiting solo or splitting up a group — it's consistently one of the faster ways onto this ride during peak hours.
• The ride is almost entirely indoors and unpredictable in its pacing, so first-timers should expect surprises rather than trying to anticipate the layout.
• Lockers are required for loose items before boarding; give yourself a few extra minutes for the locker process during busy periods.
• Fans of launch coasters that pair thrills with dense storytelling should put this ride and Escape from Gringotts back to back — they scratch a similar itch in different styles.
