This is one of Universals most creative attractions. The queue line is extremely well done, and if you watch the preshow movie, youll understand the story perfectly. (Even if you miss the movie, the story is your typical Universal You shouldnt be here plot) The coaster loads pretty quickly, the seats are comfortable, and the ride attendants are really hilarious. The first few scenes of the ride are nice, although I feel that the dark ride section should be a little longer. I think that Universal did a spectacular job with the amount of space that they had though. The fire effects throughout the ride are really cool, especially in the not-so-fake station, and the animatronics throughout the ride are very good as well. The dead end scarab scene and backward drop are very fun, but the highlight of the ride is the launch and the extremely intense airtime that follows. The colored mist throughout the coaster portion of the ride is also a very cool effect, as are the images that are seen as you fly through the coaster. The coaster itself isnt real intense, but when combined with the spectacular theming, this ride really succeeds on many levels. Overall, a very creative and totally unique experience, and one that is certainly not to be missed.
