When Will The Mummy Open?

[AlexandNessa]

Forgive me if this is a duplicate, but when in 2004 will The Mummy open? Spring, summer? Any insider information, rumors, or conjecture?

It's scheduled for the Spring; a better idea should start to emerge once testing begins.

 

[SpideyHulk24]

I really hope it does open in the spring. I can't wait to ride it.

I feel silly asking but what is the Mummy ride exactly?

 

[SpideyHulk24]

It is a dark ride. It is a roller coaster. it's replacing the old king kong ride and it's themed to the movie the mummy.

 

[MelindaKiah]

Thanks SpideyHulk!!!

Hopefully it'll be up and running when we go in August. My kids would love it!!

 

[SpideyHulk24]

It should definitely be up and running by then.

Mummy constriction was halted. Well, according to my FAKE article, it was.

Spring 2004. It's supposed to be extremely technological.

If they're smart, they'd try to shoot for March 22nd, because that's spring break week for Orlando/Tampa. If not, then April would still be good, because that would kick off the coaster season before parks up north open in May.

I hope it opens up early in the spring. We havn't planned an exact return trip yet to take the kids, but I definately don't want to go until its open. Anyone heard anything on height limits yet?

 

[the Dark Marauder]

I've heard it may have an inversion, and if it does, then you can bet the height requirement will be at least 48". We shall see...

Just got back from Disney and Universal.....while on-line for Jimmy Neutron (which by the way, they need to get rid of and just do away with that whole theater, its useless) ANYWAY
While on line I heard IOA employees talking about the Mummy, it is suppoesed to be an indoor rollercoaster, 3-d, pyrotechnics combo. Probably the most intense ride YET!

 

[SpideyHulk24]

To each his own.....I guess. I loved Jimmy Neutron. I thought it was way better than Hanna Barbera, but my son also loves that show/movie so it may be why.

On another note, the Mummy is supposed to be a great attraction. I can't wait for it to open.

 

[TigerLilly's Mom]

My kids loved the Jimmy ride - although we had never seen the old one. They really got a kick out of it. It is funny how people can have such different opinions.

We may go to Universal the first weekend in May 2004, so hopefully it will be open by then!

 

[SpideyHulk24]

Tigerlilly-

You are going to be there in May??? That's great. It would be nice if we could all meet. Maybe I can plan a quick getaway....

 

[AlexandNessa]

Wish I could join you in May. We had planned on going for my birthday (May 1), but I have a friend who is getting married on my birthday (the nerve!) so we're moving our trip up a few weeks. It would be nice to have a small meet though!

 

[AspiringCindy]

Did Jimmy Neutron replace Hanna Barberra?

 

[TigerLilly's Mom]

Spidey -
I am hoping to talk DH into going the first weekend in May to use our two free nights at HRH. DS's birthday is May so maybe we could have it as sort of a surprize birthday trip.

If we find some good airfare - we will definately do it!! A meet would be fun!

 

[SpideyHulk24]

Yes Jimmy did replace Hanna Barbera. Sounds like a plan Tigerlilly. I bet your son would be blown away by that surprise.

Alex and Nessa- Can't wait for you to complete your trip. I know it's been tough on you.
