Universal's Epic Universe Wish List & Speculation

[ReelJustice]

I fully expect we'll see berms being built up soon and trees going in to get them well established before opening. They planted out the berms on Sand Lake next to the warehouses and they've already filled in nicely.

After the success of the Diagon Alley berm, I’ll never doubt them.

I have to wonder if Universal going to up on the trees and landscaping to help provide shade especially if the heat advisories in Florida get worse the next few years

Agreed. I also think of everything as a barrier from the plant next door. Paris for example is very tall and completely surrounded by facades. Trees would purify the air and offer a similar physical barrier for the smell. Plus site lines.

Screamscape was spot on! Really like everything in here, hoping this points to a genuinely scary ride experience

Woof the name of that ride.

Woof the name of that ride.

Like Hagrid's there' a lot of extra names in there, but I'm sure it will be known by most as Monsters or Frankenstein.

"Monsters Unchained" is a decent name for the ride. Don't need "The Frankenstein Experiment" addendum at all.

“De Lacey’s?” Where does that fit?

From Frankenstein...the blind guy

Sure.

I miss the days of “_______: The Ride!”

lol I like it. Tells you what to expect. It’s at least better than Hagrids.

Barely! It's only one less syllable! It's still insanely long!

Just imagining the workshopping:

We have to convey that it has ALL the monsters, and they’ve been set free, but we need to also ensure Frankenstein is front and center as it’s our most recognizable property.

Okay, but maybe we can also explain that it takes place in Frankenstein’s laboratory while we’re at it.

And that the guests are being experimented on!

Perfect.

I'm very curious to see how exactly they handle each monster in the ride, because I imagine each of them will get at least one animatronic appearance. Do they each get their own section ala UM at HHN 29? It's so exciting to think about!

If I had to guess the basic structure of the ride:
Buildup throughout the queue and beggining of the attraction to something that releases every monsters, each of them getting an “attack” scene where we come face to face with them, and then at the end we’ll have either:

A. A “monster mash” moment where they all become distracted by each other and allow us to escape back to unload.
B. All the monsters breaking out of the mansion allowing us to return to unload safely.
C. Frankenstein’s monster defending us from the others (since he’s really a good guy) just long enough for us to escape.

Very exciting to think about specific scenes in the new attractions!

I vote for this, preferably while the laboratory also starts to burn down and/or explode, since that's how so many of the classic films end.

Should a just called it “Frankenstein … and friends”.

Do we know what Monsters are supposed to be featured? Frankenstein, Dracula, and the Invisible Man seem obvious, but what about others?
