Epic Universe, Universal

UPDATE October 12 - We are closely following the developments with the Classic Monsters land over at Epic Universe. Bioreconstruct has posted further tweets showing aerial images of the site as it currently looks. The aerial overview below gives you a clear idea of the layout. 

It now looks like a manor will front the featured attraction. There are also more signs of a roller coaster with a line of circular concrete forms which look like footers. 

There is also word that a themed village is likely to be built in the Classic Monsters land which is certainly exciting news for Universal monsters fans. It is looking like this land will be a fantastic area of Epic Universe.

Let us know your thoughts on the Classic Monsters land by leaving us a comment below or on our Facebook page. We will keep you updated on further developments from Epic Universe here at Theme Park Tourist.

UPDATE October 4 - Universal Classic Monster fans are going to be in for a real treat when Epic Universe opens in  2025. We are keeping track of current progress and are pleased to bring you the latest photo from Bioreconstruct and also a mock up from @tommyhawkins of what fans can expect from the land.

As you can see, the portal into the Land can be clearly seen and the positions of the two likely restaurants are marked. The overlay by Tommy Hawkins brings the area more to life and you can start to imagine the positioning of the roller coaster which will be a focal point for the Land. Work is certainly progressing well on this highly anticipated Universal Classic Monsters Land.

Back in January we started a poll asking you which your favorite Universal Classic Monster was and the top four came out as:

  • Dracula
  • The Wolf Man
  • The Creature From The Black Lagoon
  • Frankenstein

We are following this up with an ultimate head to head between the top four to see which Universal Classic Monster you are hoping to see come featured at Epic Universe? Let us know by voting in our Poll below:

August 22 - Fans of Universal Classic Monsters will be excited to see the construction progress at Epic Universe. Bioreconstruct has posted a number of photos on twitter showing the site with the layout of the Classic Monsters Land being seen in the photo below.

January 30 - This week we heard on January 28, that the new Classic Monsters Tribute Store named 'A Tribute To The Creatures Of The Night' has opened at Universal Studios Florida. The store will be open daily until The Revenge of the Mummy reopens after its lengthy refurbishment later this Summer.

It has also been announced this week that Epic Universe will open ready for Summer 2025. This probably came as a relief to many Universal fans who may have perhaps started to wonder whether Epic Universe would happen at all after what has seemed like endless delays and a complete lack of updates in recent months.

We found out last year that Epic Universe is set to have a whole land dedicated to the much loved (or hated!) Classic Monsters and Universal will no doubt use the 'A Tribute To The Creatures Of The Night' tribute store as an important opportunity to gleen information as to which monsters guests are most interested in. 

The new tribute store is already proving very popular with rave reviews already appearing online. To celebrate the opening this week of this new store we thought it would be fun to come up with our own list of Top Universal Classic Monsters.
