They will skew towards classic. They will not be a 1:1 recreation. Think of this as an original land far more than an IP one

Chocolate Werewolf with collector cards confirmed?!?An original take on Hogsmeade...
I think this is what makes this land so exciting...It's original in that they can do pretty much whatever they want, and it's all anchored by the Monsters...I believe it will be wildly popular to be honestThey will skew towards classic.

I'm most excited for Fantastic Beasts. I think it's gonna be a lot better than anyone's expecting.im most excited for monster land because of all the possibilities. I know what to expect from Nintendo and dragons and FB

Same here and also a Flying Theater attraction HTTYD sounds pretty cool.I'm most excited for Fantastic Beasts. I think it's gonna be a lot better than anyone's expecting.
Quant European village... Castle housing a Kuka in the distance... Buy your own reanimated corpse monster shopping experience...Well, yes
Some valid points made.Thank you, and thank you to @Alicia as well.
I do want to talk about the idea that Classic Monsters are not scary. It's technically accurate that right now, in their current state, because of what they have become, they have essentially become kid friendly cartoon characters.
I don't believe this is what Universal is going to deliver. As such, I don't believe Adams Family, Munsters, and Scooby will have a place inside the Classic Monsters area (maybe in hub). I don't believe this will be Disney's Haunted Mansion level of family friendly spookiness, with humor and fun.
However, the opposite is also not true: Universal is not going to give us Halloween Horror Nights year round. There is not going to be a warning stating "Classic Monsters may be too intense for children under 12" (or whatever the HHN warning says). It's not going to be:
But there's something in the middle. Look at Tower of Terror - based on Twilight Zone, a show with came out in a similar era (though decades later) to Classic Monsters. This is at a Disney park... And it's tame for people who go to HHN regularly, but terrifying to some.
Also look at Revenge of The Mummy... Literally we see (fake) people being murdered in front of our eyes. The entire ride features several phobias including fear of enclosed spaces, darkness, heights, fire, bugs, the dead, etc. This isn't Stephen King level of horror (see what could have been), but still miles beyond Count Chocula.
I recently watched Dracula 1931, and if you haven't seen it, I encourage you to watch it. The movie cracks almost no jokes. It's not meant to be family fun. For the HHN regulars or people who watch horror movies often, the movie is tame. But that doesn't mean it's intended for children.
And I believe this is what we'll see... Not HHN, not a cartoon, but somewhere closer to Twilight Zone or Revenge of The Mummy.
Seems about right with them. Usually months behind on info.And now Screamscape is reporting that the hub will be free to everyone :doh:

To be fair, they tend to get some stuff right. They leaked the entire layout of Copperhead Strike months before it even got announced, and I'm sure there's other examples I'm forgetting.
They usually have decent info when it comes to regional parks. When it comes to the Disney's and Universal's of the world, not so much.
