Sorry to hear this, we had the exact same experience and just found the ride too harsh and jerky to be enjoyable.

Glad you survived any serious injury, it certainly possible to put your back out in a very serious way!

Hope you had a great time otherwise.

My body was a jerked in a rough way right at the end of the ride where my mid spine banged on the backing. I knew the moment it happened, I was going to feel it later. I had an ache going up my mid right side of my spine up to my neck for a few days. At 1 point I felt nauseous which was really concerning me. Thankfully the following day it settled along with the pain. The ride is great. It’s just a bit much at the end. It turns into a like a full coaster ride. I think they should consider upgrading the seating or perhaps add some dim lighting because you made a good point about not being able to see. If you had an idea of what was coming, it would help.

Thanks for the feedback,

It really can be a bit jerky, it’s not as bad as the Orlando version but it just a bit to violent to be comfortable for a lot of people.

This needs lateral support – I had to make sure I support my head by putting my 2 hands crossed over the headrest. Had to do it on the first side jerk.

Yeah, we hear it time and again, it’s not your back issue that’s at fault it’s the violence of this coaster.

We have ridden hundreds of coasters and some are rough, some are jarring, some are both, but some of the forces on the Mummy are just ridiculous. We really have never ridden a more violent ride than this.

Of course, knowing how bad the mummy is we can’t recommend anyone with known back issues ride this, you probably shouldn’t ride any coaster but many really are not that big an issue, but the Mummy really is. And yes there are warnings but there are warnings on most coasters even super smooth coasters that present zero risk to anyone. We ride this without back issues, and feel like we have them afterward!

Hope the pain was temporary!

I recently rode this on the VIP tour and… yeah I got thrown around pretty well in my seat. To the point where walking out I was literally in tears from the pain.

Now, was it my fault for riding a Rollercoaster with known back issues? Yes. But no other Rollercoaster, not even the other Universal ones, have caused the pain.

If we could seriously get something to pad the back of the seats or something as a bare MINIMUM, I might ride it again.

Hi Lee,

Ouch sounds pretty nasty, really sorry to hear this.

We have come away with no lasting injuries, but it was pretty painful at the time. As you say the hard seats and poor restraints combined with the darkness so you can’t see anything coming can combine to a very violent experience.

We are big Coaster fans and have ridden big fast coasters back to back all day and have never experienced anything like this.

Hope you heal well.

We must point out though most people do not get any lasting issues from the ride and thousands of people ride it daily with no issue. But it can certainly be a very rough, and jerky experience. Not one we wholly recommend to anyone, regardless of age!

Thanks for reading

Steve

The seats are hard and there is no lateral head support. I would warn anyone over 50 to not ride this.
