These New Universal Monsters Animatronics Are Awesome
gizmodo.com: Across the generations, we’ve seen the likes of Frankenstein, Dracula, the Wolf Man, and the Creature from the Black Lagoon brought to life in virtually every medium. We’ve seen them in movies, on TV, as toys, and you’ve probably even seen them in theme parks too. So, when creating a whole new theme park area dedicated to those legendary monsters, the team at Epic Universe had to figure out an important question: how do you make characters everyone knows somehow seem new and fresh?

I had no idea that Universal Studios in Orlando Florida was expanding and adding an Universal Epic Universe to their theme park. I’ve only ever been to Universal Studios once, so I wouldn’t know how this will change the original park, but I think that it’s really cool that the production design of this new section is still using older techniques like Animatronics rather than CGI on screens for the rides and throughout the park. With our upgraded technology, it’s so easy to stop building things for amusement park rides by hand and let computers and machines depict the images wanted. But instead, this team is using animatronics that look, according to the video, so realistic, I think this ride may actually be scary for some people. Next time I’m in Florida I’ll have to try and get out of this new section, because adding 14 very life-like animatronics to an amusement ride must be a challenge in itself.
