It is themed to The Mummy film franchise, and the ride features linear induction motors (LIMs) that launch riders to a maximum speed of 40 mph (64 km/h) in a matter of seconds.

In 2002, Universal Parks & Resorts began planning the design of a dark ride based on the popular Mummy movie franchise.

[4] In December 2008, Resorts World Sentosa, which now encompasses Universal Studios Singapore, announced a Revenge of the Mummy ride would be built at the park, due to open in 2010.

It features three separate LIM launches throughout the course of the three-minute ride, including one that propels riders up to a maximum speed of 40 mph (64 km/h).

The six-story, 62,000-square-foot (5,800 m2) building housing the roller coaster was previously home to one of Universal's landmark attractions, Kongfrontation.

Homages to the Kong attraction can be found in several areas within Revenge of the Mummy, including a golden statue of King Kong in the second scene of the ride and props in "Sahara Traders" placing Carl Denham in the role of the Museum of Antiquities curator wanting to put Imhotep the Living Mummy on display as the "Ninth Wonder of the World".

In order to compensate for space, part of the building was excavated several feet deep for the ride's climactic drop.

Brendan Fraser is skeptical, though, and refuses to wear the medjai symbol that the crew and locals are convinced will protect them from the curse.

As the ride begins, the mine carts 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?!

Imhotep appears from the sand in front of a tomb mural and tempts riders, "Serve me and savor riches beyond measure".

Soldier mummies appear in front of the treasure as he utters an Egyptian curse: "Akudei makrraken ra!"

The mine cart passes through Imhotep's mouth (a fog display) and drops through various turns, while speeding past projections of mummies and fire.

The ride features warrior mummies, treasures and tombs, a sudden launch, a scarab beetle attack, forwards and backwards motion and surround sound speakers inside the vehicles.

Actual props from the film series such as some warrior mummies, treasures, and The Book of the Dead, can be found in this incarnation.

When guests move deeper into the building (now appearing to be a tomb), they find an abandoned archaeological dig which is actually Imhotep's burial chamber.

The queue ends in an Ancient Egyptian themed loading platform, complete with hieroglyphs and a large statue of a scarab beetle, in which the riders board mine cart-type coasters.

The mine car slowly continues into the treasure room, filled with large amounts of golden yellow light, Egyptian hieroglyphs covering the walls, and two gigantic statues of Anubis stationed next to a projector screen, where Imhotep appears from sand in a mural and tells guests, "Serve me and savor the riches of eternal life."

A wall behind him collapses, forming an eclipse as four more mummy warriors drop down from each side of the track, holding cutlasses in their hands.

The mine car makes a sharp uphill movement and veers left, where the track viciously brakes in a corner.

Scarab beetles appear on the walls in front of the car with help of projectors, as the added special effects of air jets at riders' feet and a spray of water from above create the illusion of the vehicle being overrun by the bugs.

As a screaming sound effect is heard, the car launches backwards into the underworld as Imhotep's laugh plays on the soundtrack.

The car slows suddenly under the last illuminated painting of Imhotep's outstretched grasp and moves slowly into another room.

A turntable moves the car into a forward-facing position as fog machines and strobe lighting fill the blackened room.

[2][14][15] This Revenge of the Mummy roller coaster is nearly identical and almost follows Universal Studios Florida version with differences aside from exchanging the medjai medallion for Book Of The Living.

[16][17] However, the Singapore version includes a different storyline with new sounds and effects, as well as a new ending featuring Imhotep being sealed inside his tomb.

Props from the Mummy film franchise and wall paintings of Imhotep's life as a high priest are featured in the inner queue areas similar to the Orlando version of the ride.

When you are about to walk up the staircase, a sign that fades in and tells riders 'Find the gold Book of the Living, Destroy Imhotep's Curse'.

Soldier mummies appear in front of the treasure as he utters an Egyptian curse "Akudei makrraken ra!

in the Ancient Egyptian language), prompting balls of fire to erupt from the ceremonial braziers flanking the mural.

Then the vehicle drops backwards and turns with an anti-clockwise 180-degree circle as the screaming sound effect is heard and Imhotep warns the riders: "You will never find the book.
