The Mummy himself makes a few rude remarks, essentially welcoming us to our impending doom. Along with other press members, I board the ride to see if the experience will live up to the now-extensive hype. Revenge of the Mummy - The Ride is now officially open. A drumroll stars and the brick wall (okay, these are foam bricks) is blown open. Outside is a full-on party, featuring belly dancers, Egyptian pharaohs on stilts, plenty of food and live music. ride and across from the Jurassic Park ride. For those who know Universal Hollywood, this is in the lower section in the former location of the E.T. After the final few stars entered, we headed down the final of Universal Hollywood's many descending elevators where the official opening ceremony was about to take place. I thought they were the Olsen twins, but I was probably wrong.
There were also some random tween stars that everyone seemed to be excited about. Other stars spotted included Jon Favreau and Thora Birch. In attendance were The Mummy's Brendan Fraser and the Mummy himself, Arnold Vosloo. During the red carpet entry, various stars from Universal films and TV shows walk by, but few stop to talk. This ride has been in development since the first Mummy film hit theaters in 1999, and now it's finally open for the public. And why not? Development of theme park attractions is no small task. Universal has literally rolled out the red carpet to unveil their new ride, treating the attraction's opening like any other Hollywood movie premiere.
