Dark Universe - General Discussion Thread

I think this ride is going to make me cry

 

[OrlLover]

Wow the figures look really good.

Especially the 9 foot tall monster we will see in the pre show.

 

[rhino4evr]

Wow! That’s all I got

According. To a friend who works at epic universe apparently. Monsters unchained team members are being trained to advise guests to not bring anyone under 13 on the ride

HHN felt like an MK event the nights I went this year ... elementary school age kids everywhere. Good luck with that on this ride.

Monsters look incredible in that video!!!

I believe they are from Roush. Universal has worked with them on a few projects before but I don't believe they've worked on any Animatronics for Universal, might be wrong on that though.

They do have contracts that list this land as one of the areas they're working on.

 

[Mad Dog]

And....with these animatronics, and others....Universal continues to be more like Disney than Disney is. ....Kudos to UC !!!

All the more reason for them to start an extreme makeover of USF.

I believe Roush was the contractor for the trackless ride systems on ROTR and MMRR.

After this announcement Disney sure has their work cut out for them to make the Villains land at MK the same level as Dark Universe.

They sure do.

They also sure won’t

please, for the love of all that is holy, can we be spared the comparison nonsense until someone not employed by comcast goes to the park

That wolf man AA that looks to be lunging/jumping straight out is going to get some people for sure.

Uni is clearly referencing Disney's YETI with the way the wolf man is lunging at you and swiping his arm at you with one claw! That's not an accidental coincidence.

I think you’re reallllllly reaching here

It looks more like a scareactor perched above a door, and swiping down at you as you pass under.

Since this is a KUKA ride this could be a Whomping Willow type moment.

Have we heard rumblings for how testing is going for Monsters Unchained? So much news this last week so I’m sorry if I’m behind asking on anything. Im curious how E tickets are testing.

Possible I've missed it, too, but I don't recall seeing anything to indicate how the indoor rides are doing.

I'm going to be very curious to see what merchandise is offered in this land. "In-universe," like Galaxy's Edge and the Wizarding Worlds? Or anything Monster-related, even if branded to specific movies, like you currently find in gift shops?

 

[Tobias]

As others have said, the AA's shown off so far look amazing, and that's just all by their lonesome. It's gonna' be exciting to see them in whatever settings they'll be in, full effects and all!

And with the latest video update from @Alicia and photos from Bio, it's impressive seeing the sheer number of trees being added to Curse of the Werewolf. That'll add a great bit of atmosphere, as well as some nice darkness for night rides.

Perhaps a mix, like you find in the current Wizarding Worlds? As a tremendous nerd, I love the "in-universe" Galaxy's Edge stuff ... but can also admit I've bought almost none of it. I can't imagine Universal going that direction, at least not completely.
