The theme park\u2019s first-ever roller coaster, \u201cRevenge of the Mummy\u2014The Ride\u201d is based on the phenomenally popular \u201cMummy\u201d films. A state-of-the-art roller coaster, the attraction taps into rider\u2019s primal fears through immersion in a total multi-sensor y environment. Utilizing animatronics, sophisticated motion picture technology, state-of-the-art ride, audio and robotics engineering, the ride preys upon common human phobias: fear of the dark, fear of insects, fear of speed, fear of heights and fear of death to deliver the world\u2019s first psychological thrill ride.<\/em><\/p>\n

This $80million dark ride opened on 24th June 2004 to huge acclaim in the huge former E.T.Adventure show building on the Lower Lot.
\nIts sister ride in Universal Studios Orlando is larger as it has a bigger floor area to work with (and a larger budget), but the rollercoaster portion of the ride is more intense at Hollywood.<\/p>\n

The engineering for the ride was by Premier Rides<\/a> of Baltimore.<\/p>\n
