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.

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.
Hmm, we're booked September 2025, but you have me re-thinking that!

The hotel rates are scarier than Monsters Unchained will be...
Haha, I booked a couple of months ago, after seeing a post from someone who mentioned the prices were likely to just continue going up. We're staying at the Royal Pacific, and I didn't think the prices were bad at all when I booked, especially considering Express Pass, although I'm sure EP won't be able to be used for EU for quite some time. Maybe unless staying at Epic Universe resorts...

I booked RPR for August 2025, months ago. Rates for our room and dates have increased $200/night since - and I'm sure will be way more in the months to come.
Even when we visited during President's Day week a couple of years ago, I booked HRH a year ahead and they'd doubled the rack rates by the time we arrived.

Ah, surge pricing. Made popular decades ago by Disney for their Broadway shows, and now an industry standard.
Uni fans used to relying on discounts are going to have sticker shock with EU. Even if they settle for USF ticket at a discount, all the rooms, even the cheap ones, will be at rack with no discounts.
I would guess.

There will be AP discounts. But no promotional discounts.
This year is the year to take advantage of promotional discounts. The summer numbers are soft, so they have already rolled out some promotional deals.
