I just want a hot dog and beer restaurant called “Franks & Steins.”
I hope you’re posting this idea with info you have. I love it.I just want a hot dog and beer restaurant called “Franks & Steins.”
ANy chance the floo ride isn’t used in epic universe and the brittish Ministry replaces fear factor as once rumored?
This is new information. Honestly, I bet it does explain a lot here. I think Frankenstein is also more marketable to families anyways.Quick reminder on the Frankenstein versus Dracula stuff: Universal cannot use Bela Lugosi's likeness without paying his estate. It's why Dracula is often omitted or modified from official Monsters-branded merchandise, and why imagery that does contain his likeness has a special "Lugosi Industries" label in the fine print.
I'm not saying that influenced the decision (I don't know), but I imagine it came up. The Frankenstein Monster is a more flexible character, visually.
I’m not a fan of the long teethed weirdo Dracula imagery they use at the HHN merch and houses either, but this makes sense.Quick reminder on the Frankenstein versus Dracula stuff: Universal cannot use Bela Lugosi's likeness without paying his estate.

(Not an insider but the FB speculated drop towers would be my guess)Curious, from what any insider knows, what are we expecting to be the most thrilling ride in the park? Minus the dueling coaster obviously.
What’s the most thrilling ride at USF minus Rockit? The Mummy? After that they’re all fairly medium to light thrill, no?Curious, from what any insider knows, what are we expecting to be the most thrilling ride in the park? Minus the dueling coaster obviously.
Not a ride, but the Barney Show is pretty damn thrilling. :bolt:......if you're 2 or 3 years old.What’s the most thrilling ride at USF minus Rockit? The Mummy? After that they’re all fairly medium to light thrill, no?
Epic Universe may be like that. 1 big thrill ride, a couple medium thrill rides, and the rest family to kiddie.
I think Transformers is a thrilling experience personally, but certainly wouldn’t classify it as a “thrill ride.” I bet Monsters will be thrilling, but probably not classified as a thrill ride.
Perfect way to describe it! I like what I’m hearing.What’s the most thrilling ride at USF minus Rockit? The Mummy? After that they’re all fairly medium to light thrill, no?

I agree Transformers is a thrilling and exciting experience but, not the same as going straight up 90 degrees like rocket. I totally get it. Like, Yoshi (if the animatronics are great) sounds thrilling to me lol
