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.
Fixt.
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.
They're always trying to reboot the monsters, and usually failing. This land's very name is a legacy of that fact.
They say in the video that the land ties to all of the movies. They intentionally didn’t anchor it to any specific set of movies so they can pick and choose.
