Can someone please explain the "bug" thing on Mummy?

[kathyg]

Honestly, this is the only thing that freaks me out about this ride. Can someone please explain what the "bug" part of the ride is like?

Thanks.

At one point of the ride, the car stops in a room and it appears that tons of those beatles from the Mummy movie fill the room covering the walls and the floor. Its very short though but it does look pretty real.

 

[kathyg]

Thanks. Do the "bug" things get anywhere near you?

 

[damo]

No, the bugs are on the walls.

Not to ruin the ride, but the bugs are just on a screen, they are images. They are not "fake" bugs, just a screen that projects bugs coming at you. Not the least bit scary.

Actually there's the projections but there's also some bugs that fall down in front of you as well.

But again, they don't touch you. You see a few rubber (?) bugs fall from a hole in the wall but that's it.

I am disappointed that this particular effect looks quite fake. You should not be worried. The air puffs on Shrek on the other hand--they really seem to freak some people out! We could not get my Shrek lovin' nephew back on Shrek for fear of the spiders.

The scarabs that you see on the screen in front of you are a projection. The scarabs that drop out of the skeletons on the side walls and from below the screen are "Real" (plastic). The walls on the side that show scarabs are both "Real" (special plastic scarabs on a rotating wall) and projected.

Sometimes a live one makes its way into a railcar and starts to bite. Those are the ones that haven't been Trained yet.

they don't really bite, it's more of a chewing sensation and pain. just make your way to guest services or first aid and they'll tend to the wound.

Whatever you do dont let it get inside your ear. If that happens, it will wrap itself around the cerebral cortex causing madness and death.

I still have one lodged in my leg. Darn thing won't come out.

 

[kathyg]

Are y'all makin' fun of me?

Ewwwww...

Reminds me of Star Trek The Wrath of Kahn!

 

[nerdboyrockstar]

In the Universal Studios Hollywood version, you actually do feel them at your feet! I freaked out.

I wish we had that.

Funny but true: sometimes the scarabs that fall out of the skeletons land in railcars. They are later flung from the ride during the coaster section. During the year I worked there, I must've found at least 2-3 scarabs per month that got "free".
