Dark Universe - General Discussion Thread

What a great ride. They just need to adjust lighting in certain areas and it’ll be perfect.

Edit: The area around Gill-Man is also strangely bare.

To add more to this after multiple rides I have to say this isn’t another Forbidden Journey even though some would be quick to compare it that way. The writing, the pacing, the way it’s just all put together, this is finally Universal’s next Spider-Man.

I do wish we had gotten some key art for Invisible Man at some point. His EU redesign isn't in basically any of the promo art. Ah well. Still cool to see that he made it for the opening moment.

Hoping this just means they go all out for his ride in the future.

I finally get to ride Monster Unchained this weekend and I'm so excited. Curse of the Werewolf I'm also excited for but not as much. Seeing Ygor is also up there for me and might actually be above CotW with all the good things I'm hearing. Anything else I need to do? I'm going this weekend for two days.

Any word if the Werewolf ending scene was changed?

I haven't been able to find any clear word on this. No opening day POVs of it exist either.

There’s still a mannequin but I never watched pre opening videos so I have no reference of any changes.

I’m curious on what they could have done to it in this short amount of time ??

Most people on here are saying the scene needs to to be completely redesigned or new expensive animatronic created for it.

All of that takes time and resources that I feel UOR weren’t trying to invest at the moment. In the grand scheme of things this one ride of many so I can see it being fixed later on down the road.

Had a great interaction with the Bride and Monster. Sadly the team member didn’t get the last interaction on video where the Bride asked me about my “Puttin’ on the Ritz” sign and then as I was explaining the Monster actually said it!!!

Okay but seriously Universal... round up the Monsters Unchained cast & give us our damn Dark Universe movie!

And use the same animation style as Igor’s preshow video.

I definitely prefer Monsters Unchained Ygor better than 2004's Van Helsing Ygor.

Speaking of Van Helsing every time I ride I wonder if the Monster saying “Go! Live!!!” is a callback to that movie. At least I think that’s what he says.

Spoiler: Spoilers for a 90-year-old movie...

Hopefully more a callback to BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN, where the Monster says something very similar to Henry Frankenstein before blowing up the laboratory with himself, the Bride, and Dr. Pretorius.

Bride of Frankenstein, a perfect movie. The ending is full of so much poetry and yet most of the runtime is just dudes doing bits.

But they're such fun bits.
