Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens May 22 2025

[Andrew_Korenchkin]

The Universal Monsters Attraction is my most anticipated attraction...honestly, ever. Never been this excited for an attraction like this in my life.

Okay so out of the glut of new attractions can anyone tell me what percentage are roller coasters ?

For me, i don't mind the odd roller coaster, but too many then goes down the territory of Six Flags.

I'm looking forward to EU but time will tell how good the rides are. I've been disappointed with a few of Universals latest offerings (mariokart is very meh at best imo, same with gringotts. And FnF is one of the worst rides ever made) Both MK and Gringotts are in beautiful lands but the rides are not great. Imo of course. So hopefully the monsters and next hp rides are better.

They were building alot of attractions. The two Harry Potter worlds were incredible. Since then though they have ventured towards too many screen attractions to now over indulging in too many roller coasters.

Have to say though 'Hagrids' is incredible.

None. They’re not building any as is clearly evidence by the lack of spades.

In fairness it isn’t Universal Creative’s tech, but also in fairness, neither is most of Disney’s projection technology.

Yes, but I just meant they are ones working with the vendors to implement the technology into the attractions.

I wish this park was offering something different. I believe to beat Disney they should start doing more rides like Disney like boat rides and dark rides.

"I wish this park was offering something different. And by 'different' I mean all the same things as Disney."

Well you're in luck, because Disney has opened multiple roller coasters within the past year, and this park too has multiple roller coasters! Oh, and multiple dark rides that everyone is pretending aren't there for some strange reason.

For the fear of reading through many pages - what dark attractions will there be? Furthermore, any updates on what percentage of attractions will be roller coasters? Because if they are taking the path down coasters i will be concerned.

Mario Kart, Monsters E-ticket and Ministry of Magic are all dark rides, in case the large show buildings didn't tip anyone off. The Donkey Kong coaster will also contain dark ride elements from what I've heard.

I can allay your concerns - just don't go then you won't need to be concerned that what Universal is building is out of touch with what your version of a true theme park fan would want. How can they ever do it without your input? I'm sure there will be empty rooms and the park falling down in disrepair because no one came.

kind of like the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser hotel?

I'm hoping we might see some additional unannounced entertainment come to the park.
I think Universal Entertainment might be holding additional shows and offerings close to the chest.

Yeah, so far there are just the stage shows in Potter and How to Train Your Dragon, and a nighttime fountain show. I would definitely expect more then that.

Maybe some type of live “retelling” of the Monster stories inside the land? Not a stage show per se, but some type of offering in a central area.

I’m blue-skying.

The Monsters land was supposed to have a theater show, but that was replaced with the coaster. Hopefully some aspect of that remains in the land.

I could see a sort of streetmosphere show where an old hermit tells the tales of the monsters.

Those are the guests. When you enter the land, you get a scarf to tie around your hair or neck.
