Universal's Epic Universe Wish List & Speculation

[shiekra38]

This made me remember Hippogriff has an animatronic. I wonder if we’ll get a Wolfman animatronic as part of the story.

Hippo as well

A Wolfie AA or screen like Veloci would be fun

I don't love the idea of the coaster being visible but I mean.. I didn't like the idea of a coaster in Jurassic Park either. And now it's fine.

So maybe we're all just being dramatic lol

It will be interesting to see how we rank all of these rides, shows and experiences once they open.

Might sound weird, but I don’t think this is going to be a “Universal’s Wolfman” coaster as much as just a generic Werewolf themed coaster. The Wolfman from the classic movies will likely already be in the main attraction, the possible name of “Curse of the Werewolf” reported by Screamscape doesn’t necessarily indicate that it’s THE Wolfman in the coaster, and concept art of the now canceled show shows a werewolf that does not resemble any from the classic movies. Am I looking too deep into this?

I think you could easily handwave it away by saying Jacob earned his place (or at least some respect) in the Wizarding World. He aided Dumbledore, helped bring about the exposure of Grindelwald's lie, he married Queenie, he has a ton of magical friends... He had quite a few connections by the end of the films that I'm sure a few strings could be pulled to help him out and franchise his bakery in both the muggle world and the wizarding world.

man just pull a star wars and say he was a wizard the whole time none of it matters. The series might not even get completed lol. just give me cupcakes.

Monsters can appear in more than one attraction. The expansion is rumored to be Creature from the Black Lagoon, but Gillman will already be appearing on the main ride as well.

Also, the Wolfman films still use the word werewolf.

Also, rumored names are not confirmed names.

Also, if it’s a kids ride we may not see any werewolves in the flesh anyway. Maybe just some howling, but I bet the set design could be inspired by the old films.

My hope is it'll be like Matterhorn - a mostly fun experience with a little Wolfman presence for extra jolt + scares.

Sounds good! Just felt like trying my hand at detective haha

Yea I’m just thinking out loud myself. Not really sure how they’ll play it.

 

[belloq87]

I'll be absolutely stunned if the name of the coaster ends up being "The Curse of the Werewolf," primarily because that's the title of a different Universal-owned (Hammer Films-produced) werewolf movie from the 1960s that has no connection to the branded Universal Monsters.

I'd put any money on that simply being a placeholder (if it's legit at all).

Wolfman: Supercharged

 

[highdefrex]

I think it's obvious it'll be called Flight of the Wolf Man. Just be sure to bow your head at the animatronic Larry Talbot.

Wolfman: Supercharged

You just jinxed it. :yawn:

I think Nintendo will be a solid hit with the GP that "fans" will pan for being "already in Japan and Hollywood". Monsters I think will be good, but missing "something" (aka another ride, a play area, something). Potter I think will be the weakest link, not that it's bad but I think it'll underdeliver when you compare it to Diagon and Hogsmeade in terms of rides and experiences. I think HTTYD is the dark horse, I bet it's going to blow people away. I think the hub will be a surprise hit with locals and Disney parks preferrers for its gardens, water features, carousel, etc.

Joe this feels spot on.

I still wonder if the Ministry ride ends up impressing guests and becomes like IOA’s Spider-Man upon opening. And what I mean by that is no one expects much of it and it ends up featuring something impressive tech-wise, or unique.

Plus, the entry into the Ministry will be the talk of the town. They’re definitely going for a Rise of The Resistance style hangar moment with that atrium.

I know Potter fatigue may be setting in, but wouldnt underestimate this one.

They hit it pretty well with Gringotts lobby. I spent an hour there the first time mostly looking up and I was glad to be stuck vinyl wraps and all

Imagine all The Monsters party scene that is all screens a la one of the first scenes of Supercharged. I feel Frankie would be getting lit
