After hearing all the hype for this ride, I was very excited to ride it. I mean any ride that can combine amazing dark ride effects with a roller coaster has gotta be fun right? Well it turns out I was wrong as this ride doesnt do either of those things amazingly well. First off, although it was fun, the coaster portion of the ride was too short. The few seconds it lasted were a blast, but it definitely left me wanting more. Now for those of you who are saying that its not supposed to be a coaster, its a new hybrid dark ride/coaster. Well the dark ride portion frankly sucked in my mind. I mean the fire at the fake unload scene was pretty cool. But the mummys just seemed overly fake, nothing more than a cheesy haunted mansion. I mean they popped up and that was it. It just seems that some people settle for too little, maybe Ive just been spoiled by better dark rides, but the first half of the mummy, while well decorated, was just ineffective. So the main problem was that this ride didnt do either thing well, it did two things at an average level so it gets an average rating.
