HOLY SHHHHIII

Fire is Universal

Nice catch

It also looked like they showed the actual wolf man animatronic in shadow.

I still wish we could have gotten a show in addition to all of this but i'm so so so so content. I really was hoping for a next level bonkers experience that is more than just environmental spiderman in one of the attractions.

A lot faster than I thought it would be...

While the show was scrapped for the coaster, maybe there is a chance we could still get a Monsters show. There is an expansion pad in the back of this land.

I believe the statues for Unchained are also real queue footage.

They're pulling a Tron here lol

Calling it 2 minutes is odd since video footage shows it as about 60 seconds from launch to final brake run. Sounds like they're including station time

Cinnamon bread????

Where did you hear this from? I can't find it on any of the websites and I'm too busy to rewatch the video lol

 

[SkiBum]

I was expecting to be "wowed" but this goes beyond that. As others said, this could very well be the absolute best theme park land and ride anywhere.

[Mike S]

Nah.

So what’s with the scenes that looked like an upload of screen scenes? There’s just a few or are they a rendered representation of physical scenes?

In the video there is a model of the Monsters Unchained RV sitting on Gregory Hall's desk.

I see @saint.piss/ @Alicia beat me to it.

It goes without saying that this looks awesome.

But the big takeaway for me—this is a TON of resources and care put into an IP that isn’t generating billions in box office dollars or (as far as I can tell) merch. This is something that Management allowed the Creatives to take on as a passion project in this very unique and specific scenario in which they needed to round out a full park (not just one land in an existing destination). For that reason, this may be the most special theme park addition we see in our lifetimes (at least in Orlando).

Concept and animatics. I'm not saying "Zero Screens" - but there's a lot of physical stuff. @Alicia mentioned it the other day, and the Creative video from today even mentions the "most technically advanced animated figures that have ever been built".

 

[Viator]

We got the first AA look to be officially confirmed as such.

 

[HHN Maddux]

Genuinely teared up watching the video. This land looks absolutely amazing.

Monsters Unchained essentially being Forbidden Journey meets Alien Encounter has me so excited y'all have no idea. That statement about it having some of the most advanced animated figures has me extremely excited (but also a little nervous about seeing them work in the long-term).

The Steakhouse having vampires as the servers is a cherry on top.

I really just cannot get over how good this looks.

Awesome. I figured as much because of the lighting.

An ethical dillema in my theme park ride? Mmm, delicious...

 

[krazyhorrorkid]

It’s beautiful…
How do you surpass expectations when the bar was already so high?!
