Epic Universe - Dark Universe

 


Welcome to Dark Universe, our next portal for the day

Dark Universe is the home of Darkmoor - where monsters and horrors live

Love the live musicians and roaming characters

Our first ride in this area is Curse of the Werewolf

This is a launched spinning coaster

The ride features an interesting swing section in the middle of the ride where it goes back and forth through a shed where the Wolfman tries to attack you from above

We found the ride to be fun, but way too short for how long you have to queue to ride it

The other attraction in this area is Monsters Unchained which is located in the Frankenstein Castle

This has to be one of the most detailed queues in the park - and you basically run through it because there's never a line due to the high capacity of the ride

The ride uses the same technology as Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey - only we didn't feel anywhere the level of nausea on Monsters Unchained.  Maybe due to the lack of the cone screens

The Monster in the preshow is quite impressive and is only a sampling of the amazing animatronics to come on the actual ride

This is such a marquee ride and there's never a line.
It really deserves more attention that it gets
