Epic Universe Expansion Speculation

[rageofthegods]

Yeah all love to the Bride (who imo should've been in Unchained) but this would be a very disappointing addition.

Whatever they add, I’m okay with sacrificing Curse of the Werewolf for it. Donate it to the Kids park in Texas.

 

[Mad Dog]

Due to capacity issues, I would guess they won't be sacrificing any existing rides at this point in time. Werewolf is short and the ending is just so so. But it's a better ride than I expected. Just not worth a wait over 20-30 minutes.

That area is way too small for all that.

Summary of my thoughts for an added attraction in Darkmore.

*Since added indoor capacity is a prime Epic need, use an existing ride system that has a theoretical 1,800 to 2,200 an hour.

*Keep it simple tech. Every new attraction doesn't need to be shiny advanced tech. This needs to be something that can be built very quickly, and won't be prone to breakdowns. The maintenance staff is stressed out enough already.

*The rumored new Potter attraction will undoubtedly be a solid high tech E ticket. Save the dressings for that.

*There's lots of high thrill attractions in Epic already. This could be medium to low thrill. Design it so FUN and whimsy is the main objective, and a fairly low height requirement.

*Don't tarry. Start construction yesterday.

That works......and Scooby mild Whimsy/Horror would attract a crowd, no doubt.

Shoot… have be Scooby’s Swamp Adventure, where the Gang has to figure out who Gillman is. Use a bus-bar system specifically similar to Pooh (so you can mimic the floating tech), theme the RVs to air boats… it would be an absolute blast.

I'm still pretty adamant that Dark Universe should not "cross-over" with any other properties. The creative team did a really great job at establishing this world with a specific tone and feel, and I think throwing other IP in the mix would diminish the overall theme and fracture it.

They did a survey a few years ago where they explicitly lumped Beetlejuice in with “Classic Monsters,” and asked questions about a walk-through meet-and-greet or ride. And this was AFTER his HHN appearance.

So Universal is toying with the idea…

That doesn't necessarily mean they want it in Darkmoor, though.

Just because they can doesn’t mean they should.

Make the bride coaster, and there’s zero reason, even if it’s smaller scale, they can tear down Werewolf and make that are more of a Creature and Black Lagoon area ride. That would make this land incredibly complete and with much better theming rather than the random coaster in middle of town. I think this is reasonably feasible.

I dont want ANY characters outside of the Darkmoor canon mixing with the Universal Monsters! None!

Unless it’s Abbott and Costello.

Agreed. However, I'm open to special event collabs like Fan Fest bringing Scooby or others into the mix temporarily.
