The attraction opened with Universal Studios Florida and was in operation for 12 years, until it was closed forever on September 8, 2002. The reason for the closure of the ride has been speculated that this was due to it's age, upkeep cost, maintenance issues and staffing. It was replaced by [[Revenge of the Mummy: The Ride]], an indoor roller coaster based on ''The Mummy'' remake series, in May of 2004. The decision by Universal to remove the iconic attraction was met with much controversy and protest by theme park fans and led to a long closing of many other original attractions in the park which still continues to this day.
