"With Dark Universe, one of the greatest parts about being Universal is that no one else in the world could build a park and have a monster land. No one would take that risk," Brian Robinson, Executive VP and Chief Creative Officer of Universal Destinations and Experiences, says in the clip below. "This is a huge bet. We don't know the demand of what it's going to be or data or rankings that can tell us what people want. We just have to believe that people love monsters."
Epic Universe also includes Celestial Park, How to Train Your Dragon - Isle of Berk, Super Nintendo World, and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Ministry of Magic.
