- And Tony, speaking of sports,
there was a countdown today.
It was kind of a celebration
for a new ride called "The Revenge of the Mummy"
at Universal Studios Hollywood this morning.
(drums beating)
Performers dressed in Egyptian costumes
danced in front of a 25-foot-tall hourglass.
The ride is based on the blockbuster "Mummy" films.
Engineers say
it'll be among the fastest indoor rollercoasters
in the country.
And for those of you who are the thrill-seeking aficionados,
the ride opens in June.
So give you something to look forward to.
You wanna try that? - Are you one of those people?
Do you like rollercoasters?
- Well, you know I like speed.
- Yeah, but your turbo car and a rollercoaster,
well, those are pretty similar! (laughs)
- Yeah, that's right.
- I've driven with him before!
- How about motorcycles and airplanes, right?
Some people are just crazy about those things.
That's "News at 10" for tonight. Thanks for joining.
