Trivia / Revenge of the Mummy

Go To

  • Cameo Prop: In the Orlando version, if you're looking at the right second you can see the pieces of the ride track from Kongfrontation still on the ceiling.
  • Development Hell: In a sense, as the idea of a major roller coaster had been in development for Universal Studios Florida for nearly a decade. It first originated as a launched coaster based around Apollo 13, and later as a coaster through the set of a movie studio that specializes in disaster films (an idea that was later repurposed for the Disaster! attraction), and again later as a thrill ride based on the works of Stephen King. One of the scenes in the proposed Stephen King attraction was actually recycled into the Orlando version of Revenge of the Mummy, as the concept featured the same "false unloading station" scene, just with Pennywise instead of Imhotep.
  • No Export for You: The ride is not in the Japan park.
  • Officially Shortened Title: The attraction is occasionally titled The Mummy Ride on some merchandise.
  • What Could Have Been:
    • Original concepts for the attraction depict the ride track going outside the building and mummy warriors actually jumping onto the vehicle, how this would've been pulled off is anyone's guess.
    • Orlando's version was originally going to be about Imhotep wreaking havoc in a history museum, but budget cuts resulted in it revolving around a 4th wall breaking film production instead. The ride's outside facade still reflects the original museum story, interestingly enough.
  • Working Title: When the ride was first in development, it was referred to as a "Scorpion King roller coaster." It is unknown whether this was what Universal was originally considering or if it was just a goof on the insiders' part.
