Dark Universe - Reviews, Photos & Media

Yeah, my friend who did the preview this week can't stop raving about how good it was and how impressive.

It's earned it! It does seem like there's some additional tweaking to be done and I'm sure it'll happen much like they've done with FJ.

Unlike FJ where the RV is (mostly) hidden, it's embraced as part of the story on Monsters and it makes a huge difference in what they can do on this ride without that constraint and it shows.

On the topic of AAs in Monsters and what's static and what's meant to be moving, there's a scene…

Spoiler

involving a crossbow aimed at (I hope I'm getting this right) one of the Dracula's brides. I don't believe either of these statues to be moving and are comparable to the centaur in Hagrid's where it's seen for a moment and you quickly move on.

Just heard that some TMs at Pretorius mentioned the music from Dark Universe will be issued on vinyl but had not arrived yet. Nothing about any other park music…

I assume it will be the Danny Elfman stuff.

Oh, on the merch front— for anyone in a medical field, they have Dark Universe scrubs available!

NO WAY THIS IS INSANE (and I love it)

That’s iconic

Okay so forget what I said about this. The figures in this scene both move! Guess they got them online/working this week.

There's also more going on in the ride now than there was last week. The ride is a sensory overload and a great one at that.

Yeah I pointed that out in the Celestial Park photo and reviews thread lol

Berk’s sightlines are the worst in the park.

Stardust I don’t mind because it had to go somewhere and the bright colors sort of mesh with the stands and flat ride (more than any other land would), but there’s numerous places where you can see the meticulous theming end and the flat gray/green building begin, especially in the queue for and on ride of Wing Gliders.

Some of it could still be fixed, but it would require additional structures or trees to make meaningful changes to the view at this point.

Wow!

I am going to need a change of pants in my backpack when I see the Bride.

(I will be polite and courteous, and she will have no idea about that)

the invisible man costume is awesome. everything I could have hoped for.

 

[Rhian]

I did this too and it was super fun. Her character seemed somewhat intentionally robotic in her movements. When asked about the manor she warned not to go there but if I did she had a friend that would keep me safe (Frankenstein's monster).

Definitely one of those M&Gs that you get back what you put in. Another recommendation from me for whoever visits!

 

[saint.piss]

I don't know if they have any plans for it yet or not but I would really love a Victoria Frankenstein M&G. I'm really fascinated by her character so far.

wish I could be the first one to go near him and say: Rorschach’s Journal. October 12th 1985 “Tonight, a comedian died.”

It'd be a missed opportunity NOT to have her do meet-n-greets. They did say we'd get a full line-up of the monsters for photos, so it'd be a shame to NOT include her when they have Ygor..

The Bride looks great, but in a completely unrelated photo-op, I honestly would love to get "Vampire Hunter" Bride from last year's HHN for photo-ops (and non-decapitated Saskia too).

In regards to the OTHER monster photo-op they currently have. I'm too lazy to pull up a photo, but the mask for Frankenstein is TERRIBLE! It is way too big & looks awful. Not sure how they screwed it up, but hopefully they fix it before May.
