Epic Universe Expansion Speculation

This is why Jekyll and Hyde is, really, the missing link for a show opportunity. He is NOT in Unchained. And frankly, a Dr. Jekyll-version of Alien Encounter where we go into a hospital theater to observe a demonstration of his new potion (at which point, bad things happen) could work incredibly well.

Invisible Man Alien Encounter.

Funny enough I was thinking of a circus attraction featuring lesser known Gothic villains from that era (e.g. Island of Dr. Moreau creatures, Sweeney Todd, the guy from Mad Love who had a knife thrower's hands, etc), but that would be a) dead within six months and b) too similar to Cirque Arcanus, so no point.

For a show, I maintain it'd be cool to do something with Bride but Jekyll and Hyde would also be fun. I think it'd be really nice to have a few more dedicated meet and greet areas where monsters get regularly swapped out, sort of like Avengers Campus. Maybe one in the main village with scientists/village monsters, and another in the forest near Burning Blade with more creature type monsters.

Yeah, I can imagine two actors, one as Jeckyll and one as Hyde, where one falls behind a lab desk and the other pops up and starts going on a rampage.

Jekyll and Hyde are not traditionally considered part of the Universal Classic Monsters group. The only time Universal made a movie with those characters in that era was ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE.

Is that an argument for not putting them in the land? Not necessarily, but Universal has no real history with them to draw from.

So many ands and ampersands

If they acquire Warner (or just the Looney Tunes) they could just do this...



To me this was the story of Jeckyll and Hyde!

Frankly, I think that's the case for any Monsters show. Dragons and Potter can carry their shows; but there's a reason why we got a Werewolf rollercoaster.

Maybe there’s a reason we didn’t get the show but there really is no good reason we got Werewolf - a big load of nothing in a park that already had too many coasters. One of the only blots on an incredible park.

Dark Universe really does feel unfinished. It needs another ride, absolutely, but what it needs just as much if not more is more areas to explore, more unique retail space, and perhaps a small covered performance area.
