Description
Tomb Blaster is an interactive dark ride with an ancient Egyptian theme, where riders go on an expedition through crypts, shooting mummies along the way. It received a minor revamp with an altered story in 2020, with guests attempting to defeat an ancient curse.
History
The ride system was built in 1987 as The 5th Dimension but completely rethemed to Terror Tomb in 1994. Terror Tomb was rethemed to the more family-friendly Tomb Blaster in 2002, adding the interactive game element and adapting most the scenes. The soundtrack was produced by David Buckley.
The original interactive shooting system by Megazone was replaced by a new system by Lagotronics in 2016.
In 2020, Merlin carried out a minor revamp with a new soundtrack by Nick Hutson and new AV by Sarner International.
