I’m guessing it will be a short backwards to put it in motion forward and do a rolling launch forward…. But yeah, not impressed with it.

With the other lands either confirmed or rumored to have some sort of interactive element (wands, power up bands etc), will Monsters have something similar?

If the Monster's coaster is in fact both a swing and themed to the Wolfman, I could see the show scene being a transformation- we go in and see the man, we go back and see him wolfing out, then once more for the full werewolf all via a switching out of animatronics that occurs between each pass.

Indoor and covered attractions are not a bad idea. Dropping down poorly placed boxes is definitely a bad idea.

We call them kebabs
*Torches and pitchforks sold separately.
For $200, you can do the Van Helsing Experience which gives you training with a burning pitchfork that you can customize.

Rising behind the tower cranes in this aerial photo is steep track of the high-speed dual-racing roller coaster at Epic Universe. Construction at front cranes is for the in-park hotel. Steel frame at left is for a Harry Potter related land.
Aerial overview of the in-park hotel in Universal's Epic Universe.
Aerial look near the front of Epic Universe. 1 Believed to be a restaurant mostly encircled by a pond. 2 Curved entry courtyard wall on the West side of the park entrance.
Aerial look at recently placed track in How To Train Your Dragon land. Service building for a separate dual-racing coaster is top right. In Epic Universe.
Foreground arrow in this aerial at a service road overpass being covered. Guests of the in-park hotel at Epic Universe (other arrow) will cross this overpass from the Kirkman Rd extension. Note height of the wall at the pond. Fireworks to launch at a peninsula.
Aerial look at an entrance building of Universal's Epic Universe. West (or left) side of the entry. Curved wall is part of an oval courtyard. Seems like a passageway there.

Top Hat follows LAUNCH 1, before a second Hill into 180 degree turn , the highest point following LAUNCH 2 is the Zero G roll Mack Patented. Measured from above ground. Entire #EpicUniverse site is ~15feet above it surroundings so they may appear taller

1. Granted that the land only has one dining location and it’s quick service, no.
2. This is a hard one to answer, I want to wager towards no

The site plans show that there will be a parade building built at some point in the future. There's no indication about M&G's happening in the hub though.
