Overview
- Recent coverage reports that Universal’s Classic Monsters are now concentrated in Epic Universe’s Dark Universe land rather than appearing across Universal Orlando Resort.
- This year’s Halloween Horror Nights lineup does not include a Classic Monsters haunted house, breaking with a frequent tradition noted by fans.
- Dark Universe is described as an immersive area with two headline attractions, including a family dark ride and a more intense coaster themed to the monsters.
- Experiencing the monsters now requires a separate Epic Universe ticket, which fan outlets interpret as a revenue-driven consolidation strategy.
- The characters still feature on merchandise and receive nods in the Horror Make-Up Show, but their overall visibility across the resort is reduced.
