RobinHood26 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 The best part about the Mummy ride was that it was in total darkness, pretty fun. The Mummy ride in Florida is much better and longer, it was built in a much larger building and had a higher budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainJackSparrow Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 It's one of my favorite rides too, since a lot of the rides in Univeral are roller coasters (and I'm scared to death of those). The 3D spiderman simulator is one of my favs too.Yeah, I have never been on a rollarcoaster, too scared! There is a Spidey simulator? Sounds awesome! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAR Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Its the same ride as Indiana Jones at Disneyland just themed differently, Indy is much better though!I went to Disneyland for the first time last year and that was the ride I looked forward to the most. It did not disappoint 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinHood26 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Yeah, I have never been on a rollarcoaster, too scared! There is a Spidey simulator? Sounds awesome! Its actually a moving simulator, think a Disney track based dark ride like Dinosaur but add giant 3D IMAX screens as well as live sets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalel009Shel Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 My favorite ride! Of course, I love most things with dinosaurs! Lol King Kong and you knowwwwww this mannnnn!!! (Cheers!!) Man Im so envious I've never been to universal but Ive been to disney almost 100 times, when I used to live in tampa in the 80s and it was just a drive away.. Last been to disney in the 90s lol.So i plan on rectifying that.. What are the top rides my friends. Im hearing Jaws is a must, Jurassic Park, Back to the Future and Spiderman. Also I heard the Terminator Ride is good... Any other suggestions? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K1stpierre Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Has anyone ever been to the Dinosaur attraction at Walt Disney World? Let me tell you, it is epic! I remember being on that ride way back when it used to be called Countdown to extinction but then changed it to Dinosaur. I remember how that ride scared the shit out of me when I was 8, it being so loud and jerky. Now I love it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 The Jurassic Park ride was EPIC! I went at least seven times in one day! :PAnd now I hear they have King Kong and Transformer attractions... I NEED to go again!! LOL, I just remembered that I did go to the Universal Studio theme park in Cali 2 years ago, but it was a short visit unfortunately so I didn't get to go on a lot of rides I did the tour thingy where they showed props and scene settings for movies though, it was pretty amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it was deemed too Intense and they toned down the ride a little bit and renamed in Dinosaur. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
