I tried each walk and show in Universal Epic Universe. Here are the 6 that you absolutely cannot miss.

As one of the rare people happy to visit Universal Epic Universe for its great opening of celebration, I decided to explore all the corners of this new ambitious themed park and dive head the first in each attraction it has to offer. My verdict? Epic universe certainly lives up to his name.

If you have all the time in the world, I would recommend doing almost everything. But I also know that many family holidays aim to prioritize the essentials on good back. This is why I reduced this list to highlight the emissions and rides that you absolutely cannot ignore. If you want to make sure you live the best attractions at Universal Epic Universe, this is the guide for you.

1. Monsters Unchained: Frankenstein’s experience

Monsters Unchained is one of the most impressive theme journeys in the world, and it is also a masterclass in queue design. This walk is so good that I have done it three times in a single day, especially once just to fully enjoy the immersive ensemble. You enter through the doors before by Frankenstein Manor (now owned by Dr Victoria Frankenstein, the great-great-granddaughter of Victor Frankenstein) and take advantage of two entertaining omens which present some of the most advanced animatronics that I have ever seen. With the scene that takes place for a frightening Gothic story involving classic universal monsters such as Dracula, The Wolf-Man, Frankenstein’s Monster and the Black Lagoon creature, you will be on an exhilarating stroll from start to finish.

Using robotic arm technology that will be familiar to anyone who is previously mounted Harry Potter and the prohibited journey, Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment is an even more fluid and more dynamic experience, easily the new gold stallion for the chills of the movement simulator. The story developed includes more than a dozen truly realistic animatronics (some are huge huge) merged with digital and practical effects, including fire explosions and a slight spray of water. It is also a substantial driving, it arrives about five full minutes of thrills once you are attached to the vehicle.

2. Gliders of the Hiccup wings

Hiccup wing gliders are THE Roller family coaster at the Universal Epic Universe. Located in the fantastic theme of the park, how to train your Dragon land, Isle of Berk, is not too scary for children (reaching a maximum speed of 45 mph), but it contains more than enough punch to vibrate adolescents and adults. The story of the driving sees you hovering on the characteristics of the water and through the sky of Berk with a hiccup and a toothless guiding you towards safety.

What distinguishes the hangers from the hiccup wings is its transparent mixture of narration and driving mechanics. The Cabor presents animatronic figures and a sound on board, creating an immersive mini-history which leads to a memorable final. Even if you have never seen any of the How to train your dragon Films, there is every chance that you are swept away by the ride as I was and that you will be dese down with a smile on your face. My 15 year old child and I continued to come back to it for repeated rides, and we are full of beginners with regard to this particular fantastic world.

3. Harry Potter and the Battle of the Ministry

The flagship attraction of Epic Universe, Harry Potter, transports you to the Ministry of Magic in the Wizarding World to attend the test of the former Sadic Hogwarts Professor Dolores Umbridge, again played with a delicious wickedness by Dame Imelda Staunton, taking up her role of films. After having traveled via the metro-floo (and a certain magic of return in time) from Paris to the 1920s at the modern British ministry, you will have a first-hand overview on the attempted evasion of shade alongside Harry, Ron and Hermione (expressed convincingly by Higgledledy.

A masterful mix of physical sets, animatronics and projection mapping is used to give life to a whole new story in the Potterverse. The attention to details is obvious throughout, from the authentic decoration of the Ministry of the File to driving vehicles themselves, designed as enchanted elevators which move omnidirectionally to simulate the feeling of navigating the whimsical architecture of the ministry. Better still, you do not need to be deeply immersed in the tradition of Harry Potter to take advantage of this walk, which is both finely on the theme and entirely capable of standing alone as a theme park experience for non-potter heads.

4. Mine-Cart Madness

The headliner in the Super Nintendo world of the Epic Universe is Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge, a dark augmented reality conduct, but I found that the madness of the theme of Donkey Kong was much more fun. Located in the Country section of Donkey Kong, this Herky-Jerky Cabor creates the illusion that you jump over the broken mine tracks as in video games. There are sudden drops, net turns and simulated “jumps” made thanks to a track system hidden under visible rails. It is bumpy and chaotic and slightly crazy, but with a height of only 40 inches, it is always accessible to a wide range of runners.

5. The Arcanus circus

There are two shows at Epic Universe: “The unexploited dragon” in How to Train Your Dragon Land and “Le Cirque Arcanus” in Harry Potter. The editor -in -chief of the theme of Familyvacationnist, Megan Dubois, loved How to Train Your Dragon Show, but it was only for me. The one who completely charmed me is “the Arcanus circus”, a theatrical experience that combines live artists and dazzling special effects to give life to a spectacle of almost 30 minutes.

The story follows Ringmaster Skender, who stole the Newt Scamander suitcase full of magical creatures to try to rekindle his faulty circus. The spectacle mixes humor and impressive buffoon with circus style in a display that also sees Eddie Redmayne resume his role from Newt Scamander in newly filmed scenes just for the show. Do not let anyone tell you that it is “just a puppet show” (and let no one spoil the surprises of set either). I went without any expectations and I left convinced that I had just seen one of the best attractions at Epic Universe.

6. Stardust Racers

The best way to describe this incredible mountain of double launch roller coasters is just “wow”. Located in the Celestial Park district of the Epic Universe, this coatter puts you on one of the two cars on the theme of space which “cross the cosmos” at speeds greater than 60 mph. Extending 5,000 feet and arrows at 133 feet heights, it is the highest and fastest stream in the park.

But that’s not all he has for that. The “Celestial Spin” signature sees the two tracks training in a sort of graceful vertical corkscrew that will take your breath away. I generally do not like extreme stakes, and although it is not a turn for the less hearts, I could not help but go back for a second (and third) route on the rails. This is particularly cool at night when illuminated cars look like striated comets against dark tracks.
