It's a crying shame that the Dark Universe didn't pan out to give the modern day big-screen treatment that Universal's legendary Monsters deserve. But one can hope that if the Epic Universe attractions do well enough, it could spark another attempt. Imagine rollercoasters, thrilling dark & flat rides and stage shows all themed to Frankenstein, Dracula, the Mummy, Wolfman and The Invisible Man!

Love that Universal's taking full advantage of the site for the Ministry attraction. If UC were limited to the Fear Factor plot, they'd only be able to squeeze in the atrium and create a Tower-of-Terror style elevator ride. The office walkthroughs are going to be fantastic (although I hope an elevator experience is still included) and we have multiple levels to the actual ride. Will be great to see how they fit the dark ride portion in and improve on Spiderman & Transformers!

I used to work right across the street from where this is being built for 18 years. I suppose it could improve the area, but it’s too bad to me that they’re building it where they are. It’s right next to one of the worst sub-areas of Orlando called Tangelo Park, that’s very known for its high crime and drug issues. On another side it’s very close to some industrial areas that aren’t very nice. I also have no idea how this is going to work, not even bring connected to Universal’s other parks and property. Lastly, it’s night right off of a freeway either, and has a short area of development between it and the interstate that’s a horrible bottleneck. I got stuck in it almost every day for 18 years. I just don’t know how I’m the world this park is going to work. Seems like it’s going to be a massive flop.
