Overview
- Visitor photos and fan posts this week show The Burning Blade Tavern’s windmill without blades and its fire effect offline.
- The windmill previously rotated and ignited roughly every 15 minutes as a marquee visual tied to Universal’s 1931 Frankenstein homage.
- Theme park account My Epic Universe highlighted the change on Instagram, and guests — including one claiming to be a Team Member — reported ongoing complaints.
- Universal has issued no statement, with observers speculating about maintenance, safety inspections, technical repairs, fire-code checks, or operating costs.
- The development follows other recent Dark Universe setbacks, including a full-day closure of Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment that drew guest attention.
