Dark Universe photos + videos inside Epic Universe
See photos inside Dark Universe, the world at Universal Epic Universe themed to Universal Classic Monsters.
Epic Universe opens May 22, 2025. We visited during a media preview on April 5.
Architecture and signage help set the mood within Dark Universe, including at The Burning Blade Tavern, which lights ablaze several times an hour, just like in the 1931 “Frankenstein” film.
While there was strictly no video allowed during the actual ride of Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment during our preview visit, we were allowed to film the pre-show, which features Dr. Victoria Frankenstein, Ygor, and Frankenstein’s Monster. Take a look.

Congratulations to the designers, contractors, engineers, and artists of all disciplines on creating Orlando’s newest theme park; and thank you to the ride operators, performers, management, and all team members for stewarding the park for guests.
Our coverage is just getting started — and we’ve got a surprise in the coming weeks we can’t wait to share with you.
“Beyond this gate find gardens green and epic worlds to fill your dreams.”
