This week we travel to Universal Studios Florida where we find the “R” A-Z Coaster of the Week: Revenge of the Mummy. Based on Universal’s Mummy film series, the Premier indoor launched coaster propels riders at speeds exceeding 40 mph.
Revenge of the Mummy opened in 2004 and replaced the Kongfrontation dark ride which closed in 2002. The ornate entrance facade remained from the former Kong-inspired attraction.

The 2,200-foot-long coaster contains three launch sequences and a short section in which the 16-seat “mine car” travels backwards. Riders come face to face with the mummies themselves as they navigate through an Egyptian tomb.

The coaster spawned two other “Revenge of the Mummy” coasters: one at Universal Studios Hollywood (opened June 2004) and Universal Studios Singapore (opened 2010).
