Dark Universe - General Discussion Thread

I keep hearing "scarier than anyone expected" and "scarier than an HHN house" sooooo

Not sure if hype from folks, or actual info, but it's getting me hyped up, that's for sure!

This is such fantastic news

Look at all the trees. Should have a great atmosphere indeed!

Went to Carowinds last week, and their Camp Snoopy area honestly blew me away with how comfortable, shaded, and atmospheric a land can be with the right mix and placement of trees and foliage. As @Mad Dog alluded to before, that Camp Snoopy area was leagues above Toy Story Land, and IMO was a better play area than Dreamworksland at USF, and most of that was just because of the way they used their greenery. Pictures really don't do it justice, the treetops surround the area really nicely.

If Dark Universe can play with the same ideas, using them to cool down the physically scorching Florida heat, making you feel lost in a European woodland village from all sides, this land could truly bring an experience that doesn't really exist in Central Florida at the moment. The closest we have are Animal Kingdom and Jurassic Park, which are both much more Jungle than Forest; and Central Park in USF, which is so small and vestigial it honestly doesn't count for much

I want to feel like I'm in a higher budget Busch Gardens Williamsburg when I enter this land.

That shot of LochNess is gorgeous

Yes, we visited Universal and Disneyworld for the first time in July. The Florida summer sun is brutal. The more trees will not only help beautify Epic, but will definitely provide much welcomed shade from the sun. A wonderful combination!

AE level plz...

Are you wanting me to cry and/or myself!?

I think they mentioned AE level effect like Dracula breathing down your neck and cloud of bats flying all over you and you feeling them. The added value is huge set pieces, a moving vehicle (that can do a ton) and great AA's and screens to enhance it all.

Happy to find this detail in Bio's photo.

Ironically they are getting a Splash battle and a dual launch family coaster next year lol.

Do we know if it will be burning 24/7 or at certain times like Mount Prometheus?

I'm leaning more towards like what they do with the dragon at Daigon Alley where it's on a timer and goes off from time to time.

I would only have it burning at night.

(Because that would require the park to actually be open at night!)
