Opening info on Revenge of the Mummy - Orlando Sentinel

[mark1203]

SPEAKING OF . . . Universal, that unveiling -- or, more appropriately, unwrapping -- of the Revenge of the Mummy ride will include a few Hollywood celebs.

I got a peek at the guest list and the RSVPs include Brendan Fraser and Arnold Vosloo, who starred in the Mummy movie. The two will have some fun with pyrotechnics at the grand opening, playing a role as the doors to the "tomb" are blown open. The big blow-out ushers in the biggest new ride among Orlando attractions this summer.

As for the Mummy himself, workers on Tuesday installed the star of the show, a 650-pound robotic gizmo that looks appropriately after-life like -- complete with rotted skin.


Sounds pretty cool.

It really is going to be one of the best opening events Universal have held and I can't wait. So who else is on the guestlist ? I've heard a few rumours ..

I'm a bringing a colleague who's never been to Orlando before and he's so excited it's unbelievable !

Why say you've heard 'rumours' but say what they were?

I think you need a official Floridian to provide moral support that you will need during this difficult mission. I would gladly offer my guidance in exchange for press passes and VIP parties pass
