Dark Universe - General Discussion Thread

Loving the denseness of Darkmoor!

I'm still fascinated to see how they're going to hide that one corner of the dark ride showbuilding.

Some very weird trees in the upper left corner of this picture. Slender Man and The Lovers.

Yeah, that’s pretty cool

I know it's a fun Easter egg, but that triggers my movie OCD! That's not one of the Universal Classic Monster movies, it's a Hammer Films production that Universal distributed. It's a good movie, one of Hammer's very best, but it's not part of the traditional Universal Monsters pantheon.

I still don't understand why the coaster isn't called "Curse of the Wolf Man" instead.

I think they just like naming things things they technically already own the trademark on. Makes it safe.

Like Endless Summer.

Not like someone is already challenging one of the attraction names.

That’s what they get for not using a name they’ve already used for a movie before.

I don't think this has been asked before but I really hope the current black tarp under the track that goes over the walkway is not the final choice.

Breaking news! Based on the new and lawyer-approved arrangement with Universal Pictures regarding name licensing, the new name of Starfall Racers will be...

*shuffles names in hat*

Honky Tonk Freeway !!

This is what's best for everyone, I'm sure you'll come around on it in time.

A better look at some of the Dark Universe merchandise. Looks so awesome.

 

[Ahmanet]

Is that Frankenstein (Monster) plush new? Looks like just the right size to sell many.

This land better stay open past sunset with that name

 

[GAcoaster]

The greenery is really filling in already-- imagine what it will be like when the park opens...

No. It’s been around for a bit. They have all the Monsters available in that style.

Those weirdly bifurcated trees on the right side of the Burning Blade are sheer perfection!

Sign...


I love the way the exits are setup so unobtrusively with a side path and the guard shack:

 

[mainejeff]

I am getting more and more pumped for this land. Darkmoor is a love letter to Universal horror fans....but I think it will have wide appeal and be the surprise hit of all the lands.
