It is not so much an up-and-down traditional rollercoaster. You sort of go forward, then have an 'encounter' with Ihmoteb (sp?) and then zoom backwards. There are all sorts of brilliant special effects, including the ceiling of fire (v. warm) and the scarab beetles.
I loved this ride - did it 3 times in a row last year
Yeah..it's not too bad. The special effects are really cool and the ride is fast and furious..just not long enough..IMHO. We shouldn't tell you all the secrets..it would ruin the surprise.
You never really know what kind of line you'll have at ROTM. I've been over there on busy days but the wait times were 10-15 mins. On the other hand, I've also been when the parks seemed slower but the lines were long.
Fun is the word I'd use to describe it. The only thing you need to remember, is at the top of the launch hill, the coaster makes a sharp right hand turn. So hang on, and after this it's a lot of fun and over before you know it.
