I cannot wait for Epic Universe to finally open. Also, congratulations on hitting your 100,000 subscribers goal. Your new play button looked really nice.
Universal seems to willing to tackle the darker themes, with ‘Dark Universe’, while Disney will not do anything with the Alien, Predator, Apes etc. franchises, since they are not considered ‘family friendly’. As Universal keeps moving forward, Disney is getting further left behind. What a waste. If Disney does do a fifth gate, they will need to be willing to take more chances and recognize that the ‘family’ is not just the little kids in the family.
Disagree - “dark universe” doesn’t mean that’s it’s going to be for adults any. The wolf coaster looks like a family ride, and I doubt the dark ride is going to be much more intense than the Harry Potter equivalent. Alien and Predator are significantly more adult themed than vintage Dracula, mummy, Frankenstein, etc. The latter probably won’t be much different than tower of terror in terms of creepiness. Neither compare to the face huggers and chest bursters of alien, for example. And let’s be honest, that’s just one land. The other three are based on Nintendo games, how to train your dragon, and Harry Potter. And besides the main coaster, the hub just has a giant carousel.
Cant wait for thos park ! I am usually a Disney park guy but this park is going to make me like universal better ! All those lands look awesome but Dark Universe, definitely most hyped!
Thanks for the preview of the model Jay. I really like the angles you got for us of the actual build site. The place looks like it will be awesome :) Have a great one :)
When I was a kid growing up, I was obsessed with Universal Monsters. I read Frankenstein and Dracula and would peruse TV Guide to see if any channel was running any of the monster movies. Once in a while, our local movie theater, which was once an old Vaudeville theater, would run some of the Universal Monster Movies and my friends and I would go. I always dreamed of this. Now it's actually happening.
Im always glad to see you both on the vlog; must be much more fun to go to these places together. As a family we prefer Universal over Disney and we are so excited for Epic Universe 😊
So cool! Thank you for sharing this with us. At this point, I don't care if my wife comes or not, but I have GOT to be there after this opens! I also must check out that Bourne Spectacular. I don't think you've ever covered that one. As always, great job and thanks for letting us tag along.
I’ve heard that the film Abigail was originally supposed to be based on Dracula’s Daughter; but, of course they went a different direction,which was the best decision! Great , fun movie!
Go Universal. Kick that mouse to the curb. Disney is asleep at the wheel. We haven't had an ALL NEW park since... Disney California Adventure. A whole new park is something to behold. I got to see EPCOT in 1982 and 1983. It was gleaming and smelled NEW and it was all goodness and light.
I didn't even know about this except through you Jay! Wowsa! Dark Universe is so cool! All the classics. That is neat! Thank you for this video! How cool is that!🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
The parks going to have two awesome roller coasters that’s everyone will want to ride those lines will be insane if they are really as god of rides as they say they will be
it will be here before you know it . the whole place is going to be awesome. my self I m a big Frankenstein Wolfman Dracula fan and huant season right around the corner

@@aaronjamesmongcopa so, I accidentally deleted it like a goof. I will mention it in tomorrow’s video and eventually, I will re-upload it. You’re the one that gave me notice, I thank you and appreciate you so much.!! Much ahead
@@TampaJay You're welcome dude. hehe. You're one of my influences why I vlog. You're a true person, genuine and the world needs people like you. My main channel is actually "AJ's Guide To Awesomeness And Beyond!", a little shout out wouldn't hurt as well if possible, this is just my channel for school work. haha. But no worries if not. Thanks Tampa Jay, you're the best!
Cool video. I just hope Dark Universe will have the likeness to the actors that played these iconic roles. I don’t want to see generic Dracula’s face all over the ride, merchandise, and advertisements. Give us the Bela Lugosi’s and Boris Karloff’s of Universal Monsters.
@@birdflox1337 that’s unfortunate. I went and saw the pics of the designs and that absolutely killed my interest to be honest. They look like generic Spirit Halloween costumes. It’s Universal’s own theme park ride, how hard is it for them to get the iconic looks? I guess that’s why the part of the park is called Dark Universe and not Universal Monsters.
@@randomkillerx2157 from what I understand, the idea is that all the universal monster movies actually happened when they were released, so many many years have passed since then. Henry Frankenstein's face can still be seen on a portrait in his manor, but it is now his granddaughter Victoria Frankenstein who is a mad scientist, with her own monster. I'm not sure what the explanation behind Dracula is, if I remember correctly he died in the movies, maybe he also had a descendant with the last name Dracula? Or he was somehow reborn? Either way they definitely took him in a very different direction than the Lugosi version of Dracula.
@@TampaJay It was great! They love you. Their onion rings are amazing. Lemonade was one of the best I tasted. Bought pins and three different shark shirts. Today is the 49th anniversary of Jaws being released in theaters. I’m wearing this huge Jaws shirt that I got on eBay.
I’m going to Mario kart eight ride and wear those glasses I’m not going dark universe. And I’m going to another area universe. They called. Super Nintendo world universe donkey dk means I go the roller coaster but I say no
Thank you so much for this.Hopefully i can take my neice & nephew to this one day.A long ways to come as we live in scotland but sooo good to see this is coming..Thank you guys big fan of you both keep up the excellent work you both do.
Just to confirm, it is Frankensteins mansion, the ride will be held closer to present day with frankensteins descendant hosting the ride before everything falls apart 👍🏼
