Revenge of the Mummy - The Ride
Revenge of the Mummy is easily the most popular roller coaster at Universal Studios Hollywood.
Being one the most thrilling (and not to mention somewhat scary) rides at Universal Studios makes it incredibly popular and a ton of fun.
Revenge of the Mummy is an indoor roller coaster with multiple show scenes, pyrotechnics and laser project effects primarily set in the dark.
This ride is great for thrill seekers of all ages, but might be a bit too intense for kids under the age of 12 if they haven't been on a roller coaster before or a dark ride with a few scary scenes.
Revenge of the Mummy isn't terrifying or extremely intense, but some of the creatures inside the ride might be frightening to young children and the ride is mostly in the dark which may make some kids uncomfortable.

Flight of the Hippogriff is a great first rollercoaster for many children as it doesn't go overly faster, has a few fun turns and drops and very well themed.
The right is entirely outdoors and overlooks Hogsmeade Village, so you'll get some great views of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter from atop the ride.
There are also a few special surprise animatronics that Harry Potter fans will love seeing in-person!
