bryceone Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 A while back there was a trip report of USH where they went backstage. In one of the photos was a golden ET statue. Where is it exactly? We've been looking for it everytime we ride Mummy and haven't spotted it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gforce532 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 According to the ride's wikipedia page, it is no longer there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revenge_of_the_Mummy_(Universal_Studios_Hollywood) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 The rumor is that Speilberg through a hissy fit and demanded it be taken out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 One of them was removed after Bryant Gumbel put in on national TV. The one in the photo still remains. But it wouldn't be hidden if someone posted where to find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jray21 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I tried looking for it this past Sunday, but there was no way I could see it. Next time I'll just have to jump off the ride and climb up to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBparks57 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Wow, I was not aware how much more difficult that one is to spot than the Kong statue on Mummy at USO. I mean I didn't see the kong statue the first or second time I rode it, but I was also very distracted. Again, it's not really easy to tell from the picture, but it seems the King Kong statue is significantly larger and more out in the open. Random discussion but cool, I would love to get the USH Mummy some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doom1001 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 It probably took me 50 rides or more to finally spot the Kong statue in the Mummy ride at USF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoopLover Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 If I was Steven Spielberg I would take a bit of a fit too! It's a funny hidden gem but it could take your mind off the rides atmosphere if spotted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeemerBoy Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 (edited) If I was Steven Spielberg I would take a bit of a fit too! It's a funny hidden gem but it could take your mind off the rides atmosphere if spotted. I know what you mean....Spielberg is right! I've vowed to never return to Universal Studios because of it. I don't like paying $80+ to have a clever little statue ruin my ride experience on Mummy, and consequently, the rest of my day thinking about it. We should start a boycott, or a Facebook page about it. And I'm considering boycotting Disney, and their clever "hidden Mickeys" too. Scott "those bastards" B.

cfc Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 It probably took me 50 rides or more to finally spot the Kong statue in the Mummy ride at USF. Uh oh! Now Peter Jackson is going to go nuts! Willis O'Brien will rise from the grave as a vengeful zombie (as will Dino de Laurentis and guys who produced the Japanese Kong flicks)! All because of this statue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hercules Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Peter Jackson will be fine with the Kong statue as long as he can go in a configure the statue to spew "banana breath". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesdillaman Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 This thread offends me. I'm going to boycott TPR until it is removed. You'll hear from my lawyers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
