Finally saw the jerk get dunked at Dorney Park.

I saw a rumor on the Facebook Dorney Park Connoisseurs group that this is White Water Landing’s last year. Was buried in the comments of a post about disapproval of paying for haunted houses. Still, could be true and you’ve been warned!

Happy National Rollercoaster Day!

Lastly the ride is just gooood. Great practical sets. Stunning animatronics. Appropriate animations. Just wild enough, but no motion sickness. Clear storyline where you know what’s happening even tho it’s loud and chaotic. And like I said, I’m so happy this was built! Feels lucky in a way. I ❤️ it.

Every so often the rides exterior puts on its own little show as power from the land is pulled into the castle to power the experiment. Or something like that. It’s fun to watch!

It’s neat how the lighting before the fire bursts represents the horde of angry villagers arriving to burn the windmill and Frankenstein in it. #EpicUniverse

Das Stakehaus also has a big covered patio area that looks out toward the entrance to Dark Universe. I’d love to sit out here and enjoy the area… when it’s not hot.

I understand the reason for the track netting but it's just... very unappealing for such a beautiful world. I know it wouldn't be for many many years bc the park needs the capacity it adds, but l'd love them to demo it and have a real 'do over' with this plot. And I hate being negative, but #facts.

is generic and tho the swing launch is kinda neat, the sun is so bright I couldn’t even see what was in the building growling at me. The ride has grueling waits due to Express and poor overall capacity. Theming is nil and the mannequin at the end is literally a criminal action in my book.

Here’s a walkthrough of Dark Universe from the portal all the way back to the entrance to Monsters Unchained. Plus, a neat sunset.
