Common Orlando is planning to unveil a brand new, game-changing theme park known as Common Epic Universe in 2025, and this park goes to be cut up into 5 separate, “vibrant worlds filled with extraordinary adventures that go beyond their wildest imaginations.” Additionally contained inside these worlds shall be round 50 eating, purchasing, and leisure experiences. The worlds that may make up the Epic Universe are Celestial Park, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Ministry of Magic, Tremendous Nintendo World, How To Practice Your Dragon: Isle of Berk, and the Common Monster-themed Darkish Universe. (Sure, the Darkish Universe cinematic universe could have been scrapped after the frustration of The Mummy, however the title lives on.) Common has given a preview of the Darkish Universe land by sharing an animated tour video, which could be seen within the embed above, and a batch of images, which we now have shared under (with due to Deadline).
As described by Deadline, “Created by the Common Artistic workforce in partnership with Common Footage, Darkish Universe blends the long-lasting tales of unearthly legends like Dracula, The Wolf Man, Frankenstein’s Monster, the Bride of Frankenstein and extra with a brand new technology of monsters and characters, together with Dr. Victoria Frankenstein – the great-great-granddaughter of the notorious Henry Frankenstein who has continued his misguided experiments.“
Company will enter the Darkish Universe via an electrified portal that’s stated to “harness the dark energy of Darkmoor.”
What’s Darkmoor? Properly, it’s the title of a village that you simply’ll have the ability to tour whereas visiting Darkish Universe – and whereas company make their means round this village, they’ll encounter the characters and topics of Frankenstein’s experiments. The thought is that this theme park setting will provide “family-friendly fun while also pushing the boundaries on intensity.”
Particular person experiences inside the Darkish Universe will embrace “a ride called Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment, the Curse of the Werewolf coaster, a Darkmoor Monster Makeup Experience and an up-close opportunity to Meet the Monsters.”
The trip Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment is designed to take passengers “deep into the catacombs of Frankenstein Manor, where Dr. Victoria Frankenstein conducts her twisted experiments. She invites guests into her laboratory to witness a demonstration of her ability to control monsters, but her plans go awry when her attempts to control Dracula fail, unleashing a horde of enraged monsters. Guests then ride through the darkness as they try to evade the likes of The Wolf Man, The Mummy, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, the Brides of Dracula and more.”
The spinning household coaster Curse of the Werewolf, which is impressed by the Wolf Man, in fact, shall be situated deep within the woods on the sting of Darkmoor. “Entering The Guild of Mystics, guests will be greeted by the Maleva, the guild’s all-knowing seer and leader, who warns them that they bear the mark of the werewolf. Guests then board a wagon and venture into the forest, racing to escape the werewolves before they become one themselves.”
The Darkmoor Monster Make-up Expertise is the place company can obtain face paint and momentary tattoos. “Here, monster makers have converted Dr. Pretorius’ infamous old lab into a parlor and skilled artisans use their talents to transform guests into a likeness of their favorite Universal Monsters.”
Meet the Monsters is, as you’ll have guessed, the place guests can pose for a photograph op with the Monsters of Darkmoor. “The rogues gallery includes Dr. Victoria Frankenstein’s Monster and the alluring Bride of Frankenstein. Guests will also encounter other unusual inhabitants roaming the village, including Victoria Frankenstein’s servant, Ygor, The Invisible Man, an eccentric monster hunter and a talented musician who regales guests with songs and tales related to classic monster stories.”
For those who’re questioning the place the Epic Universe shall be situated within the Common Orlando space, Deadline has that data as effectively: “The Epic property will be about three miles from the existing parks on the north campus, or a 25-minute ride on a road the company’s rebuilt to include a median for a dedicated Universal fleet of electric buses.”
I’ve solely been to the Orlando theme parks as soon as in my life, again in 1994, and of the handful of parks I visited throughout that journey, Common was by far my favourite. I’m certain a number of issues have modified since I used to be there thirty years in the past, however this Darkish Universe land is making me think about making a return journey, as a result of this place sounds fairly cool to me. It could be cooler if there have been greater than two rides in there.
