The Mummy Trilogy

Get to know the story so far.

Written by: j. goldfarb – Posted: Wed Jul 30th, 2008

Revenge of the Mummy is an indoor dark rollercoaster featured at Universal Studios Hollywood theme park. This ride kind of reminds me of a rollercoaster version of the temple in the old Nickelodeon show Legends of the Hidden Temple.

After loading mine cart-type ride vehicles, riders enter a fluorescent tomb with dark green and red lights. From above, Warden Gad Hassan, the archaeologist from The Mummy film, warns guests "Run for your lives! The curse is real! Imhotep lives!" He screams as Scarab beetles engulf him. The mine car continues through to a dark chamber, as drops of water fall on guests, and arms suddenly appear from the ceiling, trying to grab riders.

The mine car slowly continues into the treasure room, filled with large amounts of gold, yellow light, hieroglyphs covering the walls, and two gigantic statues of Anubis stationed next to a projector screen, where Imhotep appears from sand and tells guests, "Serve me and savor the riches of eternal life." The mine car makes a sharp turn as the yellow room quickly turns a dark shade of green, Imhotep continues his monologue... "And join us in eternal death." He continues to speak a curse in Egyptian language, before exclaiming "Now your souls belong to me!" At the same time, 2 mummy warriors drop down from each side of the track. The mine car then suddenly launches into the 'underworld'.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor is the third movie in The Mummy trilogy. Rick O'Connell returns to combat the resurrected Han Emperor played by Jet Li. Rick is joined in this adventure by his son Alex (Luke Ford) and his wife Evelyn who is now being played by Maria Bello. This time, the O'Connells must stop a mummy awoken from a 2,000-year-old curse who threatens to plunge the world into his merciless, unending service.
