Cheetah Hunt is an Intamin launched steel roller coaster. The ride's station is located in the former monorail station which was decommissioned in the 1990s. Guests board one of five, 16 passenger trains. The ride begins with a 30-mile-per-hour (48 km/h) launch out of the station and around a wide left turn followed by a gradual dip before approaching the second launch. This launch accelerates riders to their top speed of 60 miles per hour (97 km/h) before climbing an 102-foot (31 m) hill. A figure 8 element is located at the top of this hill where riders weave through a series of helixes before dropping 130 feet (40 m) into a trench. Riders then proceed over a directional changing airtime hill before completing the ride's only inversion, a Heartline roll. Upon exiting the barrel-roll and its subsequent brake run (the only one on the ride), the ride remains low to the ground and goes through a series of short banked turns through a rock fixture simulating several "near misses". This leads the ride into its third and final launch which accelerates riders to a speed of 40 miles per hour (64 km/h) to navigate its way back to the station. During the journey back there is airtime and directionally changing hills, before entering the final brake run.

![Revenge of the Mummy Roller Coaster - Universal Studios - Orlando, Florida
Revenge of the Mummy, commonly referred to as the Mummy Ride, is an enclosed steel roller coaster based upon the popular Mummy movie franchise directed by Stephen Sommers. The rides are located at Universal Studios Florida, Universal Studios Hollywood, and Universal Studios Singapore and use linear induction motors (LIMs) to launch riders from a complete standstill to a top speed of between 40 and 45 miles per hour (64 and 72 km/h) in a matter of seconds. All three Revenge of the Mummy roller coasters have a minimum passenger height requirement of 48 inches (120 cm). Although each version of this roller coaster has a unique plot and track layout, all of the Mummy rides were manufactured by Premier Rides, feature track switches by Dynamic Structures, and theming by Universal Creative and ITEC Entertainment Corporation. Some of the alternate features of the Singapore version were designed by Adirondack Studio.
Revenge of the Mummy opened on May 21, 2004. This Revenge of the Mummy roller coaster uses features three LIM launches, to propel riders from a complete standstill. This roller coaster lasts nearly three minutes and features a top speed of 45 mph (72 km/h).[7] The track is 2,200-foot (670 m) long featuring no inversions, 80 degree banked turns, and a 50 degree angle of descent. At the end of the ride, there is an area where guests may purchase a photo of them on the ride followed by a Mummy themed gift shop titled Sahara Traders which replaced Kongfrontations Safari Outfitters gift shop.
The six story, 62,000 square foot building housing the roller coaster was previously home to one of Universals landmark attraction Kongfrontation. Homages to the Kong attraction can be found in several areas within the Mummy attraction, including a golden statue of King Kong in the second scene of the ride. The slabs used to construct the building were the largest of its kind ever used. Track pieces from Kongfrontation were built into the building during construction, being so, parts of the track still remain within the building. In order to compensate for space, part of the building was excavated several feet deep for the rides climactic drop.
