Get your first glimpse at the stunningly lifelike animated figures in Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment attraction coming to Universal Epic Universe.
Universal Orlando Resort is sharing a first glimpse at some of the Universal monsters that will come to life like never before in the all-new āMonsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experimentā attraction at Dark Universe, one of the five immersive worlds coming to Universal Epic Universe in 2025.
The groundbreaking ride will feature 14 of the most ambitious and life-like animated figures ever created, each one depicting one of the legendary monsters that will prey upon guests in what promises to be Universal Orlandoās most terrifying attraction yet (see video above).
āMonsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experimentā will take guests deep into the catacombs of Frankenstein Manor, where Dr. Victoria Frankensteināthe great-great-granddaughter of the infamous Henry Frankensteināconducts her twisted and misguided experiments. In a vain display of her genius, she invites guests to witness a demonstration of her ability to control monsters, but her plans go awry when a horde of enraged monsters are unleashed. Guests then embark on a terrifying ride through the darkness as they try to evade Dracula, The Wolf Man, The Creature from the Black Lagoon and more.
With some of the most visceral, powerful and fast-moving animated figures ever created, hereās a first look at a few of the terrifying, technologically advanced monsters that are wreaking havoc in āMonsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment:ā
Frankensteinās Monster: Created by science and feared by most, Frankensteinās Monster walks tall at nine feet and weighs over 800 pounds. Guests will first encounter this figure within the queue of the attractionāwhere he will actually walk within Dr. Victoria Frankensteinās lab during the preshow.
Dracula: No creature of the night strikes terror into the hearts of mortals like the iconic vampire Dracula. And to Dr. Victoria Frankensteinās dismay, he is the most dangerous of monsters sheās trying to control. Guests will encounter Dracula at various moments throughout the attraction, as heās behind the horde of enraged monsters terrorizing the Manor.
The Wolf Man: Among the monsters unleashed within the attraction is the fearsome Wolf Man. As guests try to escape the catacombs of Frankenstein Manor, theyāll come within inches of his razor-sharp teeth and jagged claws.
The Creature from the Black Lagoon: Guests will also witness the amphibious āGill-manā emerge from the inky depths of the Black Lagoon, ready to terrorize guests alongside his fellow monsters.
Guests not yet ready to brave āMonsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experimentā will still have the opportunity to meet, greet and take photos with legendary Monsters and characters as they explore Dark Universe, including Dr. Victoria Frankensteinās Monster and the alluring Bride of Frankenstein. They will also encounter other unusual inhabitants roaming the eerie village, including Dr. Victoria Frankensteinās assistant Ygor, The Invisible Man, an eccentric monster hunter, and a talented musician who regales guests with songs and tales.
