To me, ride systems are like proteins in a meal. I can take a lot of the same as long as it is prepared in different ways with different ingredients.
Which will open first, this or the Monsters Inc. door coaster?
Universal Epic Universe is preparing for its next thrilling addition: an all-new indoor coaster coming to Dark Universe - immersing guests in an all-new story inspired by the Universal Monsters franchise. Construction is underway, with an opening planned in the years ahead.

Don’t want to take too much credit, but I was the first one to report on the first permit for the new coaster coming to Epic Universe. Don’t look at the timestamp from what time I posted this, lmao! Always fun when a project gets confirmed.
BREAKING: New permit for the Epic Universe site confirms "a future attraction" is in the works. This permit is for mass grading and utilities. This is the first time I have seen the word "attraction" in any new permit.
