Dark Universe - General Discussion Thread

I don't hate this hoodie design... but I try to avoid white like the plague. Those cuffs are going to get dirty fast

No. Just no.

And I said it's the cuffs that are the issue, not the graphic itself

That is a STUNNING technological trick. Kudos to everyone at Creative for this accomplishment!

That being visible from the road is going to lead to some 911 calls for building on fire.

Holy cow!

I’M CRYING AND YOU’RE CRYING

There is a berm.

The Bioreconstruct footage of the burning blade today also provided a glimpse at that Berm you mentioned, which I had been unaware of. I'm calling this Dark Berm, the second most intriguing Berm of Epic Universe (the first being the Lost Berm of Celestial Park).

I really like the burst of flame that shoots out first before the blades catch fire. Reminds me a little of the Gringotts. We'll probably feel that heat blast for a second or two when just under the entryway!

Universal is getting really good with these icon WOW moments.

For lack of a better phrase, they’re out Disney’ing Disney. In all aspects.

 

[Andysol]

Holy cow!

I actually prefer it with just the three blades slightly burning and 4th looking charred.
It’s not as striking, but more realistic.

So is that path off to the left of the portal acting as an exit?

I was actually wondering about that the other day... where are the exits for each land?

 

[Tobias]

Correct, hugging the right of the portal is the security booth/checkpoint which is most likely there to make sure people don't enter through that way.

And to answer @saint.piss 's question, from the looks of things on the photos, if you're facing the portal to enter, MoM's exit is on the left, and Isle of Berk's is on the right. I believe SNW's is off to the right as well as that'll dump you out next to the gift shop.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but Unchained is believed to end up more intense than FJ, correct? The design of the new KUKA vehicles should allow the benches to move much more quickly IIRC.

Yep

Ack. I'm so excited for this ride, but FJ definitely makes me lightheaded. Not sick, just...slightly ick. I'm already skipping Werewolf because of the spinning. Was hoping I could save all my ginger chews for MoM

The screens are the worst on FJ for me, so maybe if there are less of those I'll be fine.

Everyone always has this notion that "spinning coasters" are like the teacups on a track. They really don't actually "spin" that much. You get a minimal "whirl" here/there & that's about it.

These spinning coasters aren't "controlled" rotations, so it's possible to not get a spin-filled ride. Usually it's a "free spin", so if the weight is distributed evenly, less chance of a spin.

it depends on the person, of course, but i actually think these can be more disorienting than something like the tea cups because you're not able to control / predict the spinning.

curse of the werewolf will have both controlled and uncontrolled spins. of course, even if they were only free-spinning that also leaves open the possibility that you'll spin a lot if the weight is unevenly distributed.

in any event, maybe, just maybe, the person who's been going to theme parks their entire life knows what will or will not upset their own body.
