Maybe he throws some bandages and the goggles out in clear view? Then with hidden surround sound speakers you could hear him taunt you and move around the meet and greet area.

It's very early, but this land has the potential to be the best theme park land in the world. -Its designed from bottom-up instead of top-down as far as the storytelling. -It's opening with 2 potential E-ticket attractions and expansion space for a 3rd. -It appears to have some of the best theming with the manor, the burning windmill, the gravestones, the fog effects, etc... -It appears to have a variety of versatile restaurants and food options.

I hope they do end up making the Creature from the Black Lagoon boat ride because I think it’d be a great fit for Dark Universe, especially since he is confirmed to be in Monsters Unchained. I could see Universal adding a lake in the expansion area to become Gill-Man’s home to fit the backstory of Darkmoor, and then the ride itself could involve you joining a geology expedition looking for fossils (like in the first movie) when the Creature attacks your boat. It would also be a great opportunity to throw in some shout outs to Jaws, like some variation of “10 minutes?! We’ll be shark food in 10 minutes!”

ALL of the storytelling details: characters, architecture, interactions, shops and rides, (and no doubt sounds and smells), ALL tie back in and out of themselves in a way that is just so brilliantly cohesive, respectful and faithful to the original films and properties, yet still SOMEHOW fresh and innovative for a new audience. Absolutely incredible and inspiring work from the creative team for this area, it blew my already high expectations completely apart.

I love how fluid and pretty everything looks (in art design) as a massive Gothic horror head all round. Also truly nice and respectful touch on changing it to mystics. More respectful of real people and for world building the mystics can become their own brand of things, like how a lot of universal original IP creations become fan favourites. Straight up classy. Well done!😊

At first Dark Universe didn’t really appeal to me, thinking it would all be intense high octane thrill rides (not a fan), but after seeing what they have in store I am so excited for it! I wonder if the reason they didnt do a black lagoon ride (yet) is because they need to figure out how to make it entertaining, fun, but family friendly while making sure its not just rehashing log flume rides of yesteryear or coming off as boring (ex: pandora navi river journey). There is a delicate balance and I bet the recent Tiana’s ride issues is making them glad they are taking their time with designing the possible ride for future release

At this point, each "portal" sounds like a full day park...I know that I will spend quite a bit of time in Dark Universe, Universal is really cooking.
