Exploring Revenge of the Mummy – The Ride

Enter the cursed tomb
Step into the Egyptian tomb-inspired setting of Revenge of the Mummy – The Ride. The attraction draws on the world of The Mummy films, placing you in a story about an archaeological expedition that takes a dangerous turn. The themed entrance sets up the adventure before you head into the darkened queue.
Look for hieroglyphics and ancient warnings
As you move through the corridors, look closely at the hieroglyphics and inscriptions on the walls. Some spell out real warnings, adding detail to the story of the tomb and the curse within. These elements help build the atmosphere while you wait to board.
Face Imhotep's curse
The story centres on Imhotep, the ancient mummy whose curse threatens to trap you inside the tomb. Mummy imagery, dramatic lighting, and special effects help create a sense of danger as the ride builds towards its high-speed escape. Keep an eye out for details inspired by the film series.
Race through the darkness
Once aboard, hold on as the coaster accelerates through the dark, with sudden climbs, tilts, and drops. The limited visibility adds to the uncertainty, making it harder to anticipate what comes next. The attraction combines roller coaster movement with themed scenes and effects to keep the escape from the tomb at the centre of the experience.
Experience the unexpected backwards movement
Unlike a conventional coaster that travels only forwards, Revenge of the Mummy – The Ride includes sections that move backwards. The changes in direction, combined with darkness and sudden movements, make this a particularly intense indoor ride. If you're deciding whether to ride, review the safety requirements and consider your comfort with fast, unpredictable motion.
