Each monster actually has a specific moon phase associated with it. The werewolf has a full moon, Dracula has a crescent moon, the creature from the black lagoon has a waxing/ waning gibbous, and Frankenstein has a half moon. Each moon phase gives the monster a maximum of power. They can actually access their elemental abilities from the moon phase. While others can access superhuman strength.

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.

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.

The only thing I've seen a little similar to this was at Busch Gardens VA. They had the ride DarKastle which was similar to the ride format of Spiderman but with a horror twist. It was their favorite ride. But they said maintenance was getting out of control. It has since been replaced with a small roller coaster.

Happy Summer Solstice or "Tairisem." Dark Universe is the land Im most looking forward to. When I was a kid growing up, I was obsessed with Universal Monsters. I read Frankenstein and Dracula and would peruse TV Guide to see if any channel was running any of the old Universal Monster movies. Once in a while, our local movie theater, which was once an old Vaudeville theater, would run some of the Universal Monster Movies and my friends and I would go. I always dreamed of this. Now it's actually happening.

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! ✨

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.
