I am going to feel so very vindicated if I ended up being largely in the ballpark with my spec on what this ride may involve.

To be clear, I don't have any inside info on this specific project. My previous pitch about Creature vs Bride based on that piece of merch was entirely speculation.

So hyped for this. I don’t even care what it is, I’m just happy to get more Dark Universe and not purely attractions based on the latest box office thing.

A Bride vs Creature ride sounds so fun and could be many different ride systems.

I’m trying to dig through the EU expansion thread and this to recall what exactly this might be again. Anyone able to dig up the posts or give a reminder of what it is?

There are two rumors right now.

1) "Creature boat ride". What's on the tin, a boat ride with the creature. The implication of the rumor was we'd be the main focus of the creature.
2) Bride/Creature coaster concept. "Coaster" as in how SSE and High in the Sky are coasters, could sitll be a boat dunno, but now it's the creature and bride with the bride being the instigating factor.

Creature VS. Bride, as an indoor slow-moving "coaster" on paper, dark ride in practice, is potentially the best case scenario imo.

I'm also glad the back of this land is getting a draw. The Burning Blade Tavern is great (outside of the wobbly tables and chairs) but was empty the couple of times we visited it in early May.

Good area for an expansion. Even though Monsters Unleashed is the best attraction in the park, and maybe the best attraction in Orlando, it's surely the least visited land in Epic. A new D/E attraction there will help to spread the Epic crowds a bit.

Gringotts. Just please lean heavy into real sets and animatronics and less screens, which Unchained balanced masterfully.

An all-ages Scooby Doo dark ride would fix that…

I know you keep bringing up wanting Scooby and Beetlejuice for Dark Universe, but I genuinely don't think either would fit this land at all.

DU is not just USF/USH-style spooky land. Darkmoor has its' own individual vibe and world-building based narrowly around specific parts of the UCM franchise.

I'm not usually a stickler for world and timelines getting in the way of fun - I want Galaxy's Edge to offer both Anakin and Rey era experiences, and it is fun to see those three spooky IP hanging around at USH - but I think seeing USF-type Beetlejuice or Velma in the current iteration of Darkmoor would pretty instantly crack the very purposeful design that went into making what's essentially an original world for Epic Universe, one with relatively dark and grim tones.

There's a reason just about every UCM character got a huge redesign for the new land, plus new adapted shared backstories. Classic Gillman would not fit the vibe of Monsters Unchained, so they had to adapt them a bit; and same with the rest. The hope would be that Beetlejuice or the Mystery Gang would be Darkmoor-ified, and who knows how much and for how long WB would be game for that.

I just don't necessarily think that anything the UCM can do, means it should happen in Darkmoor. I think seeing Dracula and Victoria dancing to the Monster Mash would give a lot more Star Wars Weekends camp than Galaxy's Edge prestige. The latter is pretty clearly the vibe Darkmoor is trying to go for. We're working off the Potter template here. High standards all around.
