History
In 2002, Universal Parks & Resorts set about designing a dark ride based on the popular Mummy movie franchise. As part of this process, Universal Studios Florida closed Kongfrontation on September 8, 2002, and Universal Studios Hollywood closed E.T. Adventure on March 14, 2003. On May 21, 2004, Revenge of the Mummy opened at Universal Studios Florida. This was followed by the opening of the ride at Universal Studios Hollywood on June 25, 2004.
In December 2008, Resorts World Sentosa which now encompasses Universal Studios Singapore announced a Revenge of the Mummy would be built at the park due to open in 2010. Unlike the previous two installations, the one at Universal Studios Singapore was reported to cost only US$20 million instead of US$40 million. On March 18, 2010, the ride officially opened to the public.
Revenge of the Mummy was also destined for the new Universal Studios Dubailand theme park where it would exist in the proposed Legendary Heroes section of the park. This has yet to eventuate as the Universal Studios Dubailand project is indefinitely on hold.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“To summarize the contentions of this paper then. Firstly, the phrase ‘the meaning of a word’ is a spurious phrase. Secondly and consequently, a re-examination is needed of phrases like the two which I discuss, ‘being a part of the meaning of’ and ‘having the same meaning.’ On these matters, dogmatists require prodding: although history indeed suggests that it may sometimes be better to let sleeping dogmatists lie.”
—J.L. (John Langshaw)
“This is the greatest week in the history of the world since the Creation, because as a result of what happened in this week, the world is bigger, infinitely.”
—Richard M. Nixon (1913–1995)
“Racism is an ism to which everyone in the world today is exposed; for or against, we must take sides. And the history of the future will differ according to the decision which we make.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
