I am going to feel so very vindicated if I ended up being largely in the ballpark with my spec on what this ride may involve.

To be clear, I don't have any inside info on this specific project. My previous pitch about Creature vs Bride based on that piece of merch was entirely speculation.

So hyped for this. I don’t even care what it is, I’m just happy to get more Dark Universe and not purely attractions based on the latest box office thing.

A Bride vs Creature ride sounds so fun and could be many different ride systems.

@simon has been right on for so much stuff. Thumbs Up.

I’m trying to dig through the EU expansion thread and this to recall what exactly this might be again. Anyone able to dig up the posts or give a reminder of what it is?

There are two rumors right now.

1) "Creature boat ride". What's on the tin, a boat ride with the creature. The implication of the rumor was we'd be the main focus of the creature.
2) Bride/Creature coaster concept. "Coaster" as in how SSE and High in the Sky are coasters, could sitll be a boat dunno, but now it's the creature and bride with the bride being the instigating factor.

Creature VS. Bride, as an indoor slow-moving "coaster" on paper, dark ride in practice, is potentially the best case scenario imo.

I'm also glad the back of this land is getting a draw. The Burning Blade Tavern is great (outside of the wobbly tables and chairs) but was empty the couple of times we visited it in early May.

Good area for an expansion. Even though Monsters Unleashed is the best attraction in the park, and maybe the best attraction in Orlando, it's surely the least visited land in Epic. A new D/E attraction there will help to spread the Epic crowds a bit.

Gringotts. Just please lean heavy into real sets and animatronics and less screens, which Unchained balanced masterfully.

An all-ages Scooby Doo dark ride would fix that…
