Awesome comparison! As just like extra notes for people looking for comparisons, the Hollywood version of the ride takes the scarab effect a step further by blowing air on the back of your legs, while the Orlando version does not (no idea on the Singapore version, haven't been out there yet.) Scared the shit out of me though when I went on it since I'm an Orlando local and ours doesn't have the same effect. I will say though since Universal does a lot more copy/paste then Disney does, it really did surprise me to see how different the two rides were. My friends and I almost missed out on the Hollywood coaster when we went out there just because we were like "we have it here, we don't need to go on it again" and only went on it to kill time and because we love the Mummy here. It really caught us off guard and I'm glad to see there's enough unique on the Singapore attraction to make it worth riding too. (Even if (biased) ours is the best.)
I thought that was the case. I was in Hollywood earlier this year, and I didn't notice it. Thought it may have been a false memory or the effect was no longer used. Thanks for the kind words. I really appreciate the comment.
Singapore takes place in a temple, and is the movie. Orlando takes place in a museum/film set, and is the filming of the movie. Hollywood takes place in an obvious soundstage, but is what would happen if you were really in that experience. That's so circular non-circular design right there.
I think it is objectively the best, but something about Hollywood wins me over. The dropping mummies and the eclipse imagery, I think. Oh, and the mummy arms at the start. Thanks for the comment!
I actually have a HUGE soft spot for the Hollywood attraction. Being a California native, it's the one I've been on the most. It's basically the Orlando ride in a nutshell due to the smaller soundstage (curse is real, Imhotep attacks you, coaster section, backwards, etc.). While Orlando has the better ride, Hollywood did the best with what they had, and succeeded!
I really enjoy the Hollywood one and I'm glad they are so different. Since I don't get to do it as often I think I slightly prefer it over the orlando one. Thanks for leaving a comment
Singapore's looks soooo much better than I was expecting. I've always liked those mummy arms reaching down from the ceiling, but there's a lot in that ride I'd like to see in Orlando. 👀 Great breakdown!
Originally the ending of Hollywood's used a projection dome and showed the eclipse defeating Imhotep, when I asked John Murdy (lead designer of the attraction) on twitter about it, all he said was that it was a long story that he couldn't tell online. now the room just gets filled with fog and you turn around before seeing him in the eclipse yelling "NOOOOOO!!!" and then a strobe light hits you and the main theme plays as you unload

Such synergy. Thanks for leaving a comment
Fantastic comparison! Orlando has my heart if for nothing else but the hot set theming...

Thanks. Took forever to make, but it came out pretty good, I think. I'm glad you left a comment.
@@ParallelDiscover It was fun! Really enjoyed the presentation and observations.

I would love to hear that story. Do you know if any video is online? Thanks for leaving a comment
