Stryker,
Good notice. This effect called "Ankle Ticklers" was installed on May 21, 2005. This was apart of the enhancement that the ride went through. There were a few items that happen.

- Scene 4, just after the (A Lone Survivor) when the Tomb Robber says: "Run for your lives! The Curse is real! Imhotep lives". This scene was slowed down by about 5 seconds to give the ride some extra time, as the ride went so quickly.
- Scene 11, (The Final Confrontation: The Turntable) was changed as well. The video was removed from the dome screen above. As well as the faux fire effect. The room was darkened and added mini strobe lights from Birket Engineering similar to these which were already installed in the ride. Located in Scene 6 and 7 at the first launch (Image Capture area). A new projector was added for his face just before you leave the turntable with a large Lightning Strikes strobe light. The LN2 was left in the scene so it would fill the room with "smoke" as you enter.
Interesting little detail I noticed while riding Mummy this past Saturday.
When you come to a stop before going in reverse where scarab beetles are projected on the wall, you can feel something tickling your feet. I've never noticed this before. Perhaps because I was wearing sandals this time, but was this always a feature of the ride or something added later? Have any of you noticed this while wearing shoes?
