In order to compensate for space, part of the building was excavated several feet deep for the ride's climactic drop. Track pieces from Kongfrontation were built into the building during construction and parts of the track still remain within the building. The slabs used to construct the building were the largest of its kind ever used. Homages to the Kong attraction can be found in several areas within Revenge of the Mummy, including a golden statue of King Kong in the second scene of the ride. The six-story, 62,000 square feet (5,800 m 2) building housing the roller coaster was previously home to one of Universal's landmark attractions, Kongfrontation. At the end of the ride there is an area where guests may purchase a photo of themselves on the ride from a Mummy themed gift shop titled "Sahara Traders," which replaced Kongfrontation's "Safari Outfitters" gift shop. The track is 2,200-foot (670 m) long featuring no inversions, 80-degree banked turns, and a 50-degree angle of descent. The roller coaster lasts nearly three minutes and features a top speed of 45 mph (72 km/h). This Revenge of the Mummy roller coaster uses three LIM launches to propel riders from a complete standstill. Revenge of the Mummy opened on May 21, 2004.
