Looks familiar for some reason...

Looks familiar for some reason...

What's the reason?

 

[Duckbug.Ducktales]

This area is going to be really cool at night especially. I guess I'll have to decide between fewer crowds in daytime or cooler ambiance at night, lol

 

[Chuck96]

This land is the most anticipated of the entire Epic experience. I love things that go bump in the night. Saving the video for when I get home with my family. Can't wait!

What's the reason?

Looks like the FJ bench seats.

 

[Smugpugmug]

Yeah, Alicia said a while back (maybe a year ago?) that Monsters Unchained would use the same Kuka arm ride system as Forbidden Journey but would have WAY more physical sets. I think the screens are why FJ gives me motion sickness so I hope I can deal with Monsters Unchained.

I will check it out, ride the rides, but monsters are definitely not my thing. I don't even know what the burning windmill is supposed to be from (obviously not iconic to me!) Lower crowds during the day vs at night will suit me.

 

[Duckbug.Ducktales]

Well, I am hoping that Monsters Unchained and across the board at EU attractions, Universal Creative will use a lot less screens than they have in the past!

My family is usually of the mind that we go to theme parks to ride rides, not dine. However, I definitely want to eat at that steak house and have a drink at that tavern.

That would be me too. Scary stuff are not my thing. The burning windmill and tavern with the hunters intrigues me. I will have to see what the Frankenstein ride looks like. It might be too intense mentally and physically. If it's remotely anything like Horror nights yes I'm out. I'm intrigued how they are going to straddle between family friendly and scary.

It's from Frankenstein, which... I think this is going to be an issue for a lot of people because the movie is approaching 100 years old. I certainly haven't seen it.



Universal has been trying to sell a comeback of the monsters for awhile now and I was skeptical at first about this land but it's going to be really good.

Dark Universe Reveal

I’m not crying , you’re crying

 

[halfpintpeggy]

This looks absolutely unbelievable & fantastic! CANNOT WAIT

Right there with ya.
Take my money

Was really hoping for something more along the lines of Rise of the Resistance to really make a run at Disney...hopefully it's still good!

I'm thinking it won't be too much of a clone of FJ, though, because they said they created several "animated figures" (so animatronics) and that it's the scariest ride they've ever built, so it's gotta live up to those words!

I have pretty much the same question or a close variation of it. Horror nights are not my thing and I am somewhat of a ride coward. (Forbidden Journey is my absolute limit).
