Is the mummy ride ok for kids?

As a thrilling indoor coaster, Revenge of the Mummy is not recommended for most children. Please read our intensity meter below for more information.



Revenge of the Mummy at Universal Studios is generally considered a "tween and teen" ride rather than a small-child attraction. While the height requirement is 48 inches (122 cm), the ride's intensity is what parents should focus on. It is a high-speed indoor roller coaster that reaches 45 mph in total darkness and features sudden launches, backwards motion, and "scary" practical effects like warrior mummies and fire. In 2026, it remains one of the more intense "story coasters" because of its psychological elements—swarms of projected beetles and the looming figure of Imhotep. If your child is sensitive to the dark or loud noises, this might be too much; however, for kids who enjoy "thrill" coasters like Space Mountain, the Mummy is a natural next step. Always utilize the "Child Switch" option if you're unsure, so one adult can ride while the other waits with the child.

Well-Known Member. It goes faster than Space but it isn't pitch black, you can see the track. And is also partially a dark ride with show scenes. And it is a very smooth ride, and because of that I think it feels like a much tamer ride than Space does.

No need to worry. If your son is tall enough to ride, he won't have a problem, unless he simply gets scared. There are no big drops on Space Mtn.; only small short ones (at least 3 or 4). The scariest part is the dark and if you're not in the front, you really can't see where your going.
