Hopefully the lines cool down by December. That’s when I’m (hopefully) going.

Has the tribute store reopened?

Anyone know if they’re allowing express pass yet? I know it was considered to be ‘in rehearsal’ or whatever they called it yesterday and express wasn’t allowed. Didn’t know if it was considered fully open yet or not.

Not yet. I think they are waiting until Friday… :man_shrugging:

Found this from Attractions magazine this morning…

A Universal spokesperson saying today that the ride was “in technical rehearsal as we prepare for its reopening later this summer. During this time, the attraction may open on a limited, unscheduled basis and some elements of the experience may not be available.

This sounds like the “legal verbiage” they have to use until they officially announce it. The “techincal rehearsal” signage is still up in front of the ride this morning.

It is listed as one of the rides available in the official HHN31 Map. I bet they’ll have it 100%, with UXP, this weekend for Labor Day and HHN opening.

Curious about this…

" Yes, Brendan does get his cup of coffee still. "

It’s been years since I’ve been on The Mummy, but isn’t the whole thing that he doesn’t get coffee??
I’m left wondering if the refurb included a change of Brendan footage, or is it still the same video??

Yes and no. In the end, he gets his cup of coffee, but it is handed to him by the Mummy directly. He first complains that he doesn’t have his coffee, irritably, but that’s when the Mummy hands it to him.

It is the cheesiest and my least favorite moment of the ride. I had hoped they removed it.

Ah, that’s sounding familiar. Thank you :+1:t2:

Well, to be fair, the movie is pretty cheesy, but in a good way.

A pox on you! It wouldn’t be the same if I couldn’t yell that last line like a maniac.

I’m in the “remove him” group too. The ending makes no sense unless you go through the extended queue. (Something they don’t do often)

All you would need to change “Reggie” by simply making him an Archeologist.

This is still one of those early “let’s go behind the scenes of the movie we are making”, instead of putting the audience in an adventure.

Still a wonderful ride & will be first thing I ride on my next trip!
