How intense is the mummy ride at Universal?

Reviews 232. It's intense, the launch is pretty forceful, and smooth. Except for one spot, not in a rattle way though, on the break run, you really stop abruptly which slams you into your lap bar.



Revenge of the Mummy: The Ride at Universal Studios (Orlando and Hollywood) is classified as a high-intensity indoor psychological thriller that combines elements of a dark ride with a high-speed roller coaster. Unlike standard "outdoor" coasters, the Mummy relies on sudden accelerations using linear induction motors (LIMs) to launch riders at speeds of up to 40 mph in total darkness. The intensity comes from a mix of physical forces—including 80-degree banked turns, sudden drops, and backward motion—and sensory effects like fire, fog, and "scarab beetle" tactile triggers. While it lacks inversions (it doesn't go upside down), the pitch-black environment makes the 50-degree drops feel much steeper than they actually are. In 2026, it remains a favorite for thrill-seekers who enjoy a "spooky" atmosphere but might be intimidated by the massive heights of the VelociCoaster. Most riders describe the "intensity" as moderate-to-high; it is more intense than Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts but significantly less punishing than The Incredible Hulk Coaster.
