Initial review of “Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment” Let me just start by saying, yes, the hype is real. The ride delivered in every conceivable notion and then some. Ever since this ride was rumored all those years ago I knew it’d be something special. The queue and pre-show are attractions by themselves, so many details it’s impossible to see everything the first time through. Now on to the ride: the seats are MUCH more accommodating than forbidden journey in the shoulder/arm area and feel way less confiding and allow you to look around more freely. Without spoiling this ride is an absolute home run! The shear amount of animatronics is nothing short of incredible. The highlight for me being the Phantom of the Opera playing his organ shooting up literal flames mere feet in front of you! The story is very easy to follow as well. And they’re not kidding, this ride is intense! Lots of monsters coming at you in all directions and in ways you won’t expect so be prepared! I’m so grateful to even get to experience this during technical rehearsal and I cannot wait to see this thing firing on all cylinders! Even some of the animatronics that weren’t working on our rides were still amazing to see! As a tech nerd it was so cool seeing some of the tricks they used to hide the mechanisms for the animatronics. And the screens used are 1. Really high quality 2. Supporting something physical. There are only a few instances where you’re looking at just a screen and it’s only for a couple of seconds and I’m pretty sure it’s only so an animatronic has time to reset. The KUKA arm ride system was the perfect fit for an attraction like this. Intense yet intimate storytelling as it really feels like you’re the only ones going through the manor. And I was told they can have up to 47 vehicles if running at full capacity so the throughput is going to be INSANE. Oh, and Igor… put him on merch PLEASE, I love him!!! Grade: A+++ What I’d wait: 100 Minutes
