The Mummy ride

[Britchick]

can you tell me about it please? i'm a bit of a scaredy cat and i really want to ride it.......... i'm not bothered about the scary bits but i hate drops and would die if i ever went upside down! how is it compared to expedition everest?

[Isafari]

I get terrible motion sickness but have actually tried each of these rides - once.

I think The Mummy is milder than Everest by far and you don't go upside down on it. It still made me ill though, hence the one time only ride! :lol:

[Britchick]

Thanks Diane, do you ride the mountains?

[Isafari]

Thanks Diane, do you ride the mountains?

Big Thunder I can do - just. I do feel ill afterwards but only slightly and I find if i do it in the dark, then I'm ok.

My Mum rode the Mummy and was fine :yes: It is a bit 'whizzy' but it's not scary.

[Deafjeff]

Most of the ride is in the dark and it is quite fun, few sharp drop and stopping, however, the ride itself is quite smooth.

[Slowhand]

If you can survive Expedition Everest that you`ll be fine on the Mummy ride. :thumbsup:

[Tink]

What if you didn't like EE? :unsure:

[Britchick]

i've not done EE, it's on my ? list!

[daveann]

Just to let those that havent been on it - The Mummy is all inside, there is a short backwards section to it - like on expedition everest - but in my opinion whilst that gives a novelty factor it makes the ride itself not really that bad - compared to some of the serious coasters that is

btw its dave as, in her words, Ann is a 'scaredy-cat'

[Deafjeff]

It lorra of fun though!!! Some special effects and flames are used in this ride :yes:

[Britchick]

my main problem is the build up and anticipation. By looking at lots of ride POV videos on youtube etc i don't like it when you've got nothing either side of you up high or going up a steep hill to a drop- petrifies me. Yet i can do space mountain. Don't like going upside down though- did that on the corkscrew at AT and it was awful!

I will try the mummy first and if i can handle that i will do EE- sound like a good plan?

[Kate]

Sounds like a very good plan!
The Mummy is a good ride, someone described it as whizzy and i think thats a good description! its not a fast ride, neither is it scarey, no drops (id call it a slope!). We got my mil and fil in it and they dont do rides of any kind!

Be careful!!!
On EE you have a backwards inverted loop [ie "upside down"!]

[Dorothy]

I did the Mummy and it was fun :yes: Everyone says if you can do the mummy you can do EE. They LIED!!! EE is way way more intense and I came off it dizzy and sick to my stomach. Stick to SM, Thunder M, and the mummy and you'll be fine.

no you don't! :unsure: do you?

[uscwest]

EE does go backwards, but it doesn't invert.

[Slowhand]

EE does go backwards, but it doesn't invert.
Hmmm, I`ve only rode the ride once but I could have sworn that there was an inverted loop shortly after the backwards bit when you run out of track. :unsure:

[catrancher]

I don't remember an inverted loop either. :coaster:

But I've only ridden it once also. And my mind is certainly not what it used to be so I could be wrong. :unsure:

Tom (:macwave:... mountain... what mountain... I don't remember any mountain!)

[Britchick]

Okay, could someone please confirm or deny the absence of an inverted loop!! :taunt:

[Isafari]

Expedition Everest does not have a loop. There is a section when you are going backwards in the dark that takes you through a curve but no loop. You don't have shoulder harnesses either which you would have if there were a loop.

[Tink]

Brit, I think you and I are pretty much alike on the thrill rides topic.

I didn't like Everest at all! :eek: Neither did Seth and he loves all that sort of thing.

[ukwdwnut]

im glad i got to ride it i loved it.....would have loved to have rode expedition everest too...what a bummer :(
