Queue and pre showeditGuests enter the ride by entering the massive Museum of Antiquities facade, browsing through the film setup of a fictional sequel titled Revenge of the Mummy.

TVs around the studio play a video explaining how the original Mummy film was made, and most importantly how the films fictional curse seemingly was proven to be real while filming, with various accidents and plagues striking the cast and crew. 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. Brendan steals crew member Reggies medjai necklace and demands a coffee which craft services would not serve him before since he was not wearing the medjai symbol.
