Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment
Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment is the big dark ride in Dark Universe. Deep beneath the Frankenstein family estate, an experiment gets seriously out of hand. In 2025 the ride won the Golden Ticket Award for best dark ride.
The concept
Dr Victoria Frankenstein is continuing the work of her ancestors. She wants to prove that she can control monsters. But during the demonstration, Dracula leads an uprising of furious monsters, including The Wolf Man, The Mummy and the Creature from the Black Lagoon.
The Experience
You ride through the cellars and laboratories of the estate and come face to face with the monsters. The ride is dark, loud and intense: you experience the wrath of the most famous monsters in film history.

Take your time in the queue
The queue through Frankenstein Manor is part of the story, with a double staircase, statues and murals.
Look out for the organ
The Phantom of the Opera's organ has twelve flames that dance along to the music.
Storing your belongings

Visitor information
You must be at least 1.22 metres tall. With a Universal Express Pass (sold separately) you can skip the regular queue. Please note: the free Express Unlimited included with some Universal hotels is not valid at Epic Universe. The ride may be very scary for young or sensitive children.
