== Summary ==
===Queue===
Guests enter the ride by entering the massive Museum of Antiques facade, browsing through the film setup of a fictional sequel titled; "Revenge of the Mummy". The film's props, molds, and concept drawings are on display inside. The inside queue morphs into a 1940s archaeological dig inside an Egyptian tomb, where guests climb to the second floor to board mine cars utilizing individual lap bars.

===Ride===
As the ride begins, the mine cars move into another room inside Imhotep's tomb, where Reggie (a "Revenge of the Mummy" crew member who was missing on the set) is seen partly mummified and warns the riders: "Are you insane? Get out of here! The curse is real; this whole place is a trap! He is after your souls! Look for the ] symbol. It's your only hope!" Before Reggie can finish his sentence, ] then comes out of a ], shouts, "Silence!", sucks out Reggie's soul, and tells riders, "With your souls, I shall rule for all eternity!" The cars next move into a second room where there is treasure on the left and right sides of the car and Imhotep appears from the sand in front of a tomb ] and tempts the riders: "Serve me and savor riches beyond measure, or refuse and savor a more bitter treasure." Soldier mummies appear in front of the treasure. The car then quickly moves into another room where the mine car "hits" a wall and ] come "pouring out" of a wall in front of the riders. The car drops backwards and turns in a 180 degree circle before stopping. Imhotep appears again on a screen above the riders and warns that "Not even the Medjai can save you now. There is no escape.....Your end shall be my beginning.....Behold your fate...." Then the ride catapults guests at speeds up to 45&nbsp;mph in virtual darkness as Imhotep states: "Your souls are mine!" The mine car enters trough Imhotep's skull and drops through various turns past projections of mummies and fire. There are, however, no inversions. The car comes to a stop after this, and a female ride attendant appears behind a glassed control booth and thanks them for riding, but Imhotep sucks out her soul, breaks the glass, and sets the ceiling on fire while shouting "Prepare to forfeit your souls! Death is only the beginning!" The car then drops down 39&nbsp;ft (the highest drop in the ride) and goes down a winding drop until a Medjai symbol appears while Imhotep shouts "NOOOOO!" as the vehicle passes through the Medjai symbol. ]/] appears on a screen in front of them and yells at his assistant for a cup of coffee. Instead, Imhotep appears and hands it to him, followed by Fraser staring up at the character. The screen goes to black as the screams of Fraser and the roars of Imhotep are heard. Riders are directed to exit through an actual unload station.

===Post-Show===
At the end of the ride, there is an area where guests may purchase a photo of them on the ride followed by a Mummy themed gift shop titled "Sahara Traders" which replaced Kongfrontation's "Safari Outfitters" gift shop. There is also a missing persons poster with a picture of Reggie on it.
