Monsters Cafe Closing

They should have moved those rooftop statues to City Walk ... Classic Monsters shouldn't be totally deleted from the original campus

I will also miss the cheesy sci-fi stuff. I've always thought a light-hearted dark ride through an alien invasion inspired by the 50s and 60s b-movies could be Uni's Pirates of the Caribbean.

Yes, the restaurant's room themes were a bit tacky and cheesy....but that actually reflected what the classic Universal Monster movies were, namely a bit of horror, fun, cheese, and unintended comedy. Those movies are cult classics, but they certainly weren't Cannes film festival level movies. In that regard, the restaurant was pretty damn authentic.

Is this not just describing Men in Black: Alien Attack? Yeah, that ride is great haha.

I can say I never ate there. We did go in to check out the theming and use the Freestyle machines and I really liked the theming. Sad to see it go, but now we just wait for Epic.

I do wish they'd have a permanent Monsters tribute store in USF though.

Horror Makeup Show?

The Mummy is based on the 90s adaptation, but I think it's still worth acknowledging that USF's main E-Ticket is based on a Universal Monster. They get a headlining spot every HHN. The HMUS queue and Mummy gift shop both serve as good spots for UCM props, history, merch. They're stronger than ever as a brand in the parks imo.
