Why DARK UNIVERSE Is The Most IMPORTANT Land Coming To Epic Universe

In many ways, Epic Universe and its five unique lands are set to completely flip the theme park world on its head when they open in 2025. However, I believe there is one land that will do this more than no other, one that will find a new level of success above the rest. One that will shock and surprise guests, setting a new bar for what a themed land can be within a theme park. To me, that land has to be the new world of gods and monsters, Dark Universe.
In this video, we're diving into why I think Dark Universe will be the true game-changer for Epic Universe.

This land is a dream come true. I’ve always wanted a horror-themed theme park ever since I’ve started attending HHN and other haunts.

[@DreamportProductions]

I’ve been on board since this was first discussed as a possibility for this park and to see how impressive the ideas for Dark Universe truly are is absolutely incredible!

[@patrickn8355]

The monsters: unchained ride just sounds so unreal. Breathing animatronics with actual lifelike movement, a free floating Dracula coming after you, it’s just everything horror fans have been hoping for based off the teasers so far

[@teedles88]

and they're hoping to have something that feels like your having someone breathing down your neck. i cannot wait

[@DreamportProductions]

It’s as if they’re blending the thrill of Forbidden Journey with the scares from the Monsters at HHN.

[@knightofarkronia9968]

It sounds like they may also be taking inspiration from ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter as well, considering the whole ‘breathing down your neck’ thing!

[@ThemeTeam]

The ride within dark universe is setting the bar HIGH. Very excited to be able to experience this new technology

[@DreamportProductions]

Very true!! Forbidden Journey is one of my favorite rides ever, so getting to experience an updated version of that sounds incredible. Top of my hype list for sure!!

[@daniellel7182]

So glad the monsters are getting the recognition they deserve in the parks! I loved the monster cafe and was so sad when they took it out. A whole section dedicated to them is exactly what we need! I do wish they didn’t redesign the monsters and left us with the classic images though

The Mummy video game that was made is really good. It was called The Mummy Demastered. A pixel sprite game made by Wayforward, absolutely excellent game. Also, the invisible man film still got made, though it was heavily retooled and ended up as a better film.

[@Kev-O33]

[@WadeMFilms]

I like how the original idea for this land and the ride being originally themed to Van Helsing is still alive here. Victoria Frankenstein has a crossbow like he did and her monster seems to be an ally while Dracula resembles the one in the film.

[@DreamportProductions]

I never put together the Van Helsing connections but that makes a lot of sense.

Same! I hope they truly deliver and make something unforgettable.

[@adammayo4377]

Curse of the Werewolf has more in common with Cobra's Curse at Busch Gardens than it does with Guardians. Both are free spin coasters aimed at families. Guardians is an indoor controlled spin thrill coaster.

[@DreamportProductions]

That’s a much better comparison, actually. I was just more thinking along the lines of highly themed spin coasters. But definitely agree that it looks closer to a Cobra’s Curse with the added thrill of the theme.

[@lucasd6880]

Definitely agree. I'd say it'll even be a bit less intense than Cobra's Curse.

[@SlackerWannaB]

Curse should also be very similar to the family spinning coaster at Knott’s Berry Farm.

Plus one of the rides and most of the dining locations are indoors, so they shouldn’t have to shut down very much due to weather conditions

[@cooperhoffman8303]

Monsters Unchained might be an all timer. Even if it’s half as good as the concept art it’s one of the best dark rides ever

[@DreamportProductions]

I agree! I think it is bringing together so many pieces of revolutionary dark rides, such as the theming of Haunted Mansion or ride system of Forbidden Journey, to create something all new that’ll be a new standard if executed to its full potential.

[@Sedlan18]

Universal proves they fully embrace their legacy characters and they are not afraid to scare their customers. Unlike Disney who is afraid to scare kids with voodoo (Cough..Tiana’s bayou adventure…cough)

[@jukesy1992]

That's a good point! I'm still disappointed we don't have Facelia. I hope kids will enjoy this land too wihtout being utterly scared whitless though. Scare is part of it yes but it's finding the balance, for instance I don't think a kid can or will enjoy HHN.

[@DreamportProductions]

I think that the edginess of many Universal rides (especially when compared to Disney’s) has been building up from the opening of Universal Studios Florida to Dark Universe. They’ve shown time and time again that they aren’t afraid of a little thrill and it’s worked in being a good introduction for young kids and teenagers to this type of entertainment.

[@jukesy1992]

@@DreamportProductions Fully agreed here when you put it like that. Universal's always had that little more edge. I still haven't done the Hulk coaster yet mind you, but I'll get there. I'm from the UK and my next theme park goal is to do an upside down coaster. It's a slow build up but I am nearly there.

[@hunterlawrence3573]

Was that the reason they couldn’t have any voodoo on the ride? I heard something about that; I thought maybe it had something to do with not being allowed to show religion in the parks.

[@jukesy1992]

Dark Universe is definitely the unspoken crown jewel 😈

No doubt about that!

[@Gunner14coasters]

This definitely will be the fan favourite of epic universe!

[@DreamportProductions]

I think so too!

[@vectorwolf]

I really think the new characters are an important step. Two of Disney's best loved attractions were non-IP... at least until recently... in Haunted Mansion and Pirates. Neither had anything to do with a movie when they were built. They were tributes to their respective genres and didn't need an IP to make them good. Dark Universe is going the same route, and I appreciate it deeply. If I have one concern, it's that I'm praying they're able to keep up the character interaction as it's being described and don't let it fall off like Disney has with the environment of Batuu. I don't expect them to maintain a constant LARP or anything, but keeping this land 'living' (or unliving?) is likely to prove challenging, though extremely rewarding if they manage it.

[@DreamportProductions]

This is true. I agree in that I don’t really expect the super intense level of character interactions and I don’t really want that. It can make things so…convoluted. I just hope that whether it’s monsters or villagers, this land is kinetic with characters and things going on.

[@vectorwolf]

@@DreamportProductions I do think they have a good chance at managing it, as they'vehad streetmosphere personalities before. Maybe we'll even see Labby the -Cabby- Monster Hunter show up...

[@hunterlawrence3573]

Has Batuu gotten a lot worse recently? The last time I was there was pre-Covid, so I have no idea what it’s been like since the pandemic. Either way, Dark Universe is looking amazing! Really hope it lives up to the hype

[@vectorwolf]

@@hunterlawrence3573 I don't know about a 'lot' worse, but Disney's been cutting almost all (if not all) of its non-meet-n-greet streetmosphere. I haven't been back in awhile but the Citizens of Hollywood are totally gone and I think they're down to just a couple things in Batuu.

[@hunterlawrence3573]

[@andremedeiros2181]

Great analysis! I agree, it's the most important land not only coming to Epic Universe but to theme parks in general since Wizarding World. Refreshing to see something so daring being made

[@DreamportProductions]

Thank you for watching and totally agree with your take!

[@ErikHeimdallr]

As someone who's been obsesed with the Unversal Monsters since I was a small boy, this is a dream come true.

[@Ihartwalrusguy]

I’m pretty sure that if Disney ever unveils that Villains land as part of the beyond Big Thunder Mountain Expansion, it would be compared to Dark Universe since both parks target different audiences. The Disney Villains, while most spin-offs seem to target older audiences, is still at the end of the day a Disney property, so it can’t be too scary for families, hence why we’re never gonna get a roller coaster thrill ride themed to Chernabog, just another dark ride. Universal, meanwhile, seems to take risks here with Dark Universe, especially for children, who would probably see this land as “cool” instead of “scary”.

[@DreamportProductions]

I think this is one of the key reasons why Dark Universe is so unique as a land concept. They make it known that while it’s not gonna go overboard, it’s purposely a little more edgy than most other lands Universal has done. Honestly, I think it’ll carry a similar tone to Revenge of the Mummy.

[@marionass593]

Well disney sucks...who cares what they do epic will still be 100 times better

[@hunterlawrence3573]

Thing is, there will inevitably be some small kids who do find Dark Universe too scary. And that’s okay! There’s tons of family attractions in the rest of the park they can go to. Meanwhile the people that really love the horror-vibe have a whole land themed around it. That’s what Disney needs to understand. It’s not too different from having rides with a higher height requirement. If anything, those encourage families to return since although kids get frustrated at not being able to ride everything, they feel like they’re working towards something as they get older. So as long as there’s a good balance of different types of attractions available, everyone should be able to have a good time at the parks.

[@trevorthesorcerer]

I’m a little disappointed they’re not using the 1930s designs. I think it will still be a good land it just will always feel a little off I hope I’m wrong it feel just as original as the mummery movies from the 90’s.

[@DreamportProductions]

Totally understandable, I love those original character designs!

I also grew up watching Universals classic monsters. When the cinematic universe crashed and burned a few years back, I was so scared Universal would basically memory hole these amazing creatures, and when they closed Monster Cafe, I felt it was a sign of my fears coming true. But seeing Dark Universe develop has basically brought inner kid and adult me nothing but joy and excitement. Here’s hoping that your right and it turns out to be a major hit.

[@GuyWhoPrefersBlonde]

I have a feeling they are going to reboot and try a 2nd time at doing a Cinematic Universe with the Universal Monsters, the Dark Universe. Which if they are I’m excited.

One of the cool things about Dark Universe is that Danny Elfman himself confirmed that he has composed new and original music for the land. I think the digital flythrough video had some of it, also I wonder if he composed new music for the rides as well.

I've made a rule where I won't be watching any rides on KZbin before visiting Epic Universe. However, as someone who isn't a massive fan of really scary stuff, I think I'm going to break this for Monsters Unchained. I feel I would enjoy the ride much more if I knew what was coming in terms of "scary moments." So hyped for Epic Universe, all 4 lands sound sooo good! Having a Dark Universe is just perfect as it will be a great way to get a sense of the whole atmosphere of Epic. The fun feel of Mario and the scary feel if Dark is gonna be awesome!

Honestly, I’m not really attached to any of the other IPs featured in Epic Universe. I haven’t even consumed two of them. And I’m a much bigger fan of dark rides at these kinds of parks than I am of open-air coasters. So as groundbreaking as this park looks, I wasn’t really personally interested in going. But after seeing their video on Dark Universe, I have to go, just for this land. I love horror. Not going in its opening year though, it’s going to be madness

To me, it’s what their doing with the IP. Universal Monsters have always had a place as an IP but they haven’t been THE big property in ANY of the Universal Parks for many many years. Unlike Potter or Nintendo which have already had their success laid out for them with previous installments, this is a big risk, especially considering their target audience with this park. The IP is successful enough that people will be curious because the movies are culturally relevant and have been for a long long time but also has room for them to grow and add to it. Wasn’t sure about your question, so hopefully this cleared things up?

IMO - the mistakes this monster ride has is puzzling. -- 1) It should have been muted colors with mostly B&W - greys / browns. Instead they show the monsters in color. -- 2) The designs of Phantom and Gillman - are TERRIBLE. How can Universal allow these designs to occur? -- 3) The ride takes place in catacombs - and is basically Spiderman meets Gringotts Bank meets Transformers the ride. HORRIBLE to turn "monsters" into another video game battle fight. --- THIS RIDE should have been exploring the mansion, crypts and moat etc.. This should have been a build suspence and scare - and finishing with a major wow - drop factor.

[@Beetlejuice_88]

I'm already not a fan & disappointed on this land. They screwed it up immensely already. They had to mess with a classic & not leave the monsters as they were. They revamped the monsters & modernized them making them look terrible. Why can't they ever make them look as they did in their films. This land may have cool effects & a dark ride, but the merchandise & the monsters will be trash. Sidenote stop snubbing all the other Universal Monster films like Invisible man, Hunchback, Mole People, Metaluna Mutant, bring them all in if not through merchandise, lastly stop screwing up the Wolfman & his image & merchandise so over it Signed a former team member & performer.

[@DreamportProductions]

Totally understand this take! I’m a fan because of how different it is but there’s a case to be made that because those films are SO iconic, those are the definitive Universal interpretations of the characters. Were you a fan of how they were utilized at HHN, because they were changed quite a bit to fit into those houses?

[@Beetlejuice_88]

@@DreamportProductions thank you for understanding my view point even if it did come off like an entitled fanboy/crotchety old man lol, I didn't hate or love the interpretation of them during HHN, I was neutral, I felt they had their merit & loved some portrayals, like Jekyll & Hyde was beautifully done, the Invisible man was amazing. But I feel the others fell short. The Wolfman is always being screwed up when Lon Chaney Jr made it look so good with the help of Jack Pierce's talented makeup fx, I wish they respected that. The Wolfman I felt was a cross of the modern film with Anthony Hopkins, & Lon's version & a touch of An American Werewolf in London for good measure. Frankenstein was so humanized yet grotesque in the original with Karloff, leave him as such. My final gripe is Universal for their anniversary should release a definitive collection of all their Sci-fi & horror classics even down to the Hunchback with Chaney Sr.
