I’m guessing they send such a popular influencer stuff to try out for them.

My concern is that the classic monsters are going to be treated more like the Avengers than their classic counterparts. Not that I'd mind an Avengers-type attraction, but while I feel the village will deliver on dark and spooky (once the sweltering Florida sun sets) I worry the attraction will be more loud and flashy.
Looks incredible!

That’s kind of Universal’s M.O.

They've renamed the formerly-known-as-gypsy characters, as the "Guild of Mystics," presumably to avoid any of the offensive cultural stereotypes that have become attached to the term in the intervening decades, and likely redrawn their images for the same reason.

I mean, the Phantom has a pipe organ that shoots flames.
Well, he's got to be plussed in some way. He's just a guy with a disfiguration and is a stalker. He's only a monster morally.

Do you get sick from the Potter arm, or from the screens? This kuka ride sounds very different on the screen part, and hopefully will cause fewer motion sickness issues.

For me, it's 100% the screens. Whenever FJ transitions to those extended screen segments, I get horribly sick. The motion itself is pretty tolerable otherwise.

When Epic Universe opens next year I want a 2-hour TV special where C-list celebrities and dancers in polyester jump suits literally sing its praises.

Would you pay top dollar to ride an attraction that's quiet and subtle?

If you are expecting a slow "build up" like Haunted Mansion... prepare to be disappointed. This is a Universal attraction (that lasts ~4-5minutes), the action will start immediately from Scene 1.
The queue/preshow will setup the story and be the "build up" for the ride part itself.

I think the land itself will also be great build up for the ride.

I would pay top dollar to “Ride the Movies”- those movies being Universals classic and iconic monster films.

Is Universal going to reboot, reinstate their monsters cinematic universe to coincide with EU/DU? I see there's a Wolfman movie in 2025 and James Wan is also supposedly doing a Frankenstein movie. If done well, I can see the Frankenstein movie doing VERY well.
They're always trying to reboot the monsters, and usually failing. This land's very name is a legacy of that fact.
