Today Universal Orlando Resort revealed a first look at some of the animated figures that will feature inside the brand new Monsters Unchained The Frankenstein Experiment ride opening at Epic Universe on May 22nd.
Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment will feature some of the world’s most advanced animatronic figures as 14 animatronics will come to life via the most advanced, life-like robotic technology ever created.
This first, up-close glimpse at some of the Universal Monsters that will come to life like never before in the all-new “Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment” 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 Orlando’s most terrifying attraction yet.
Guests will venture deep into the catacombs of Frankenstein Manor, where Dr. Victoria Frankenstein – the great-great-granddaughter of the infamous Henry Frankenstein – conducts 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.
From the small snippet of footage shared by Universal these animatronics are some of the most visceral, powerful and fast-moving animatronics ever created and how they’re featured in the test video is hauntingly beautiful even without fancy sets and theming in the background, they are works of art in their own right.
Despite their being a total of 14 characters throughout the ride experience Universal have given us just a glimpse are four of them and those four we’ll share with you in this article today.
Frankenstein’s Monster
Created by science and feared by most, Frankenstein’s Monster walks tall at nine feet and weighs over 800 pounds. Guests will first encounter this figure within the queue of the attraction – where he will actually walk within Dr. Victoria Frankenstein’s 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 Frankenstein’s dismay, he is the most dangerous of monsters she’s trying to control. Guests will encounter Dracula at various moments throughout the attraction, as he’s 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, they’ll come within inches of his razor-sharp teeth and jagged claws.
The Creature from the Black Lagoon
Guests will also witness the amphibious “Gill-man” emerge from the inky depths of the Black Lagoon, ready to terrorize guests alongside his fellow monsters.
Some of the most incredible animatronics the world has ever seen will be unveiled for the first time next May to the public when Epic Universe opens its doors for the very first time.
