Universal’s Epic Universe opens May 22, 2025, with Dark Universe reviving classic monsters in a chilling themed land.
Guests enter through a massive dead tree and step into the village of Darkmoor, where unearthly creatures roam and the legacy of Frankenstein lives on. The area features two main attractions, themed dining, monster-inspired shops, and interactive character meet-and-greets.
The flagship ride, Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment, takes guests deep into Frankenstein Manor, where Dr. Victoria Frankenstein’s monstrous experiments unravel. This dark ride features 14 advanced animatronic figures including Dracula, The Wolf Man, and The Creature from the Black Lagoon.
The second ride, Curse of the Werewolf, is a spinning family coaster inspired by The Wolf Man. Riders are warned by a seer from the Guild of Mystics before racing through haunted woods in wagons, trying to escape a werewolf curse.
Visitors can also transform into their favorite creature at the Darkmoor Monster Makeup Experience. Options include the $45 Experiment Ticket (face makeup) or the $169 Transformation Ticket (face makeup + accessories for adults).
With music composed by Danny Elfman and iconic horror lore brought to life, Dark Universe promises a uniquely thrilling experience for monster fans of all ages.
