This is actually really frustrating for me, because anyone could have opened a theme park with these characters and designs. What makes Universal’s Monsters special is that they are those classic versions by those classic actors. This is all very generic.

Knowing the theme now I give it 4/10 dark universe I thought lugi mansion dark Zelda like isn’t this theme park supposed to be game specific why not leave the movie themed to universal and islands of adventure

What a bummer I thought it was more game oriented and based off that I don’t care for classic scary movies 😢

Aw, I love seeing the little pumpkin you bought on your desk!

No way you just said Intimidator was bad, my back row ride was so good, I just cant, Its maverick, but faster

The first time might not always be that pleasurable but it likely gets better each time thereafter.

Me: Not really interested in this land... 10 minutes after listening to Jackie.. Me: Hello, can I have a season pass for Epic Universe please 😄😄

Anybody know if the hogwarts train gonna stop there

Nice video ! Aside from the room price , special coofee, etc is there any additional charges like mandatory tips per night ? Or per stay ?

I agree there is something about the resort that reminds me of some of the places I noticed in certain towns on the East Coast like Framingham, Massachusetts or Maine. Those character interactions are wonderful. That Donald Duck has an amusing way about him. I loved Minnie and Daisies dresses and Goofy is wonderful.

The flatness, decor, and emptiness of the whole thing had very much palm springs vibes

It looks just like McDonalds and Taco Bell look now. Cold, grey, and like a bank. It needs to go back to its roots and find the color and imagination it started out with. Time to hit the rest button.

Thank you so much for sharing all this information 😊 this looks awesome enjoyed the video

Recently visited Europa Park and they have a Phantom of the Opera VR experience on one of the rollercoasters. Thought it worked really well.

this land is going to be a SLEEPER

It is fun seeing universal having a darker themed area particularly with the classic monsters

Universal....please in the coming years...ws need sort of a jurrasic park ride...or a Popeye raft ride there themed to creature of the black lagoon

Excited for dark universe that will be amazing

The monster her grandfather made will be relatively easy for Victoria to control but this is par for the course. I wonder if they can make me a werebear? But if they can have the songs from Phantom of the Opera that would be fun. This is a place I want to visit.

Great video Jackie, I like this style of video. You should definitely try and do this more often

I would so love if they found a way to add Abbott and Costello to the monster section.. many childhood memories watching these movies with my dad!

🤩🎉

I need to start saving money.

Wow, l have never seen her do a live video like this before

First thank you amazing video! Second I can not WAIT! I’m so excited for this for all of us

Just watched creature last weekend! My favorite of the group. Really looking forward to Dark Universe.

Where is my Phantom of the opera boat ride 🤦‍♀️🤣

Dark Universe is going to be incredible during the day, but it is going to be the pinnacle of theme parking after dark. 😍 I would argue that Alton Towers in the UK kind of has a spooky theme throughout and could probably be thought of as the forerunner of dark/monstrous/spooky worlds within in the industry; so Universal isn't _quite_ the first to put this idea (or this scale) on the table. Having said that, Universal is the gold standard when it comes to immersion and theming and this land is going to totally blow every other spooky theme park effort out of the water! Most excited for the Monsters Unchained ride and the Burning Blade Tavern, for sure. Can't wait to meet all the roaming monsters. The renderings for the promo video look great, but my hope and my prayer is that the Monsters Unchained ride itself isn't too reliant on screens. A pitch so grand as this deserves physical sets and animatronics! 😉 So excited to see all of your future content from this land, knowing how much you love the classic Universal Monsters! Great video Jackie! ✨

Thank you Jackie for sharing all of these details and information. Yes, I have to do a movie caught up. I know I watch now all the Harry Potter films over again and again before my visits and I'm still seeing something new every time I watch that is at the park. Now I get to add new list of movies. I so excited.

10:25 vampires also need humans for food. It's just a nice circle of life😂

This sounds a lot like what Batuu was supposed to be, but then got budget cut and understaffed to death. I hope this makes it to live without too much pruning though, because it sounds incredible. It sounds like some of the locations have 'hidden' explorable areas too... the description of the Stakehouse is worded like you might be able to find your way into the catacombs under the restaurant and snoop around.

😢im sad that u live next door and im in england

Can’t wait for a park that actually cares about there consumers, Universal Epic World! All Disney cares about is separating cash from your wallet. They gave up long ago about pleasing customers, and until the shills and media call them out substandard is what you get! And deserve stop spending money on this trash!

I never used to be big into the monsters/villains aspect of Universal and truly get so scared at HHN but your excitement for it sparks something in me every year and gets me so excited for Fall 🤪🎃

Wow,can't wait for you to show us all this,looks fantastic.

Super excited to go still, but hopefully many of these issues and those others have shown will be improved by then.

This is 100% the land where you will fine me (and Isle of Berk!) because it’s everything I’ve wanted to exist at Universal since I was a teenager. I first visited in 1996 as a 15 year old, deep in my vampire and gothic awakening. I’d read Dracula and Frankenstein, and was all about the Universal Monsters content. I visited the Horror Make Up Show multiple times, and Beetlejuice’s Graveyard Revue was a firm favourite. This land sounds like it is on another level. It will be a few years before I get to visit but I really hope all of the back story and wandering entertainers are there to stay. Also: you’re so right about what these stories can teach us about humanity and how we live our lives. Before we accuse anyone else of being a monster because they’re different, we should all take a look in the mirror.

So excited for this 🖤🖤🖤

If Universal ran Test Track… Bad weather = B Mode = JUST SKIP THE OUTSIDE PORTION. THEY’LL NEVER NOTICE

Any ride themed to Creature From the Black Lagoon?

NOW i am excited for Epic! I love this. We share the love for Classic Universal monsters. I agree with what you said about representation of society in those films, humanity are the Monsters the titular characters are the victims of society

The burning windmill is intriguing. I had assumed they would use a similar effect to 'Big Bob' at Wickerman (Alton Towers) in the UK whereby they incorporate screens within the structure showing flames as well as lots of smoke effects. But Universal sound like they're really going all out on this one!

I didn’t know this place existed in the state I live in, looks cool, and I might ask my family to take me there. By the way, the Flintstones still air on TV in Mexico, Guana juato during summer around this time when going on a vacation with my family there, to escape Arizona's heat, obviously!

The watercooled PC from Sam looks very cool 😎 I make reviews with waterccoling parts and lots of other stuff on social media since 2008 under the Name Bundymania Reviews 👋

I thought they were going to downgrade the classics when Monster Cafe closed. Hopefully they'll be open by the time I come down next year because I think it will be my last trip

The Phantom she is excited about... Is not the one being portrayed in this ride.... It predates the musical by at least a good 50 years... I'm guessing it's going to be based on the character from the black and white film

Harry potter world is what I'm excited for

Very cool 😎🌞

Great video!! What is the brand of your sunglasses?? Thank you!
