Everything We Know About Dark Universe at Universal Epic Universe
Monster fans, listen up! Universal Epic Universe is set to bring your nightmares to life in 2025 with the thrilling Dark Universe!
This new land will be a haven for classic Universal Monsters, combining heart-pounding attractions, eerie dining experiences, and creepy meet-and-greets.
Whether you grew up loving Dracula, Frankenstein, or the Creature from the Black Lagoon, Dark Universe promises to immerse you in a world where monsters lurk around every corner.
Welcome to Darkmoor
Entering Dark Universe will feel like stepping into a fog-covered cemetery on the outskirts of the fictional village of Darkmoor. Guests will arrive through a portal crackling with electricity, symbolising the battle between life and death.
The village of Darkmoor itself will be a twisted playground where mad science reigns, and dangerous experiments roam free. Darkmoor’s village will feature everything from monster hunters to villagers trying to survive the chaos.
Attractions to Sink Your Fangs Into
Dark Universe will feature two adrenaline-pumping attractions designed to thrill even the bravest visitors!
Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment
The towering Frankenstein Manor will be home to Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment. Meet Dr. Victoria Frankenstein, the great-great-granddaughter of Henry Frankenstein. She’s taking monster rehabilitation to a new level, but when an experiment involving Dracula goes horribly wrong, chaos breaks loose.
From the catacombs below the manor, you’ll encounter legendary monsters like the Wolf Man, the Mummy, and the Bride of Frankenstein. Prepare to be on the edge of your seat – who is the real monster?
Curse of the Werewolf
For a wild ride through the forests surrounding Darkmoor, the family-friendly spinning coaster Curse of the Werewolf will be waiting.
You’ll speed through the haunted woods, dodging werewolves under the full moon as you explore the colorful encampment of the Guild of Mystics. Their leader, Maleva, will warn guests of the curse, but beware – you may not make it through without some sharp-toothed encounters of your own.
Meet the Monsters
Dark Universe will be crawling with the monsters you know and love. Meet Frankenstein’s Monster, Ygor, and even the Invisible Man as you wander through Darkmoor. With each step, you’ll feel like you’re in the middle of an old horror movie brought to life.
Where to Feast (If You Dare)
After your monster encounters, you’ll need a bite to eat, and Dark Universe’s dining is sure to satisfy even the most insatiable…
Das Stakehaus
Set above the vampire-infested catacombs, Das Stakehaus will serve fast-casual dishes like kebabs, burgers, and ribs. With its dark opulence, this restaurant will give off major vampiric vibes – just don’t forget your garlic!
The Burning Blade Tavern
An old mill-turned-monster hunter hangout, The Burning Blade Tavern will offer tavern-style meals and stories of past hunts. Every 20 minutes, the mill bursts into flames, offering a fiery spectacle for guests.
What to Expect at Opening…
When Universal Epic Universe opens in 2025, Dark Universe will offer an immersive world where the classic monsters of Universal will come to life. With every shadowy alleyway and foggy path, this new land will be a spine-tingling blend of old-school horror and modern thrills.
Fans of the Universal Monsters can expect a world that pays homage to the classics while introducing new stories, characters, and experiences.
As the creative team puts it, this will be a living, breathing monster world that’s ready to terrify and delight.
Are you ready to step into the darkness? The monsters are waiting…
