Dark Universe's Unannounced Third Ride Just Went From Permits to Dirt at Epic Universe, and the Berm Along Kirkman Road Is Coming Down

New Bioreconstruct aerials published by Orlando ParkStop show the expansion plot behind Monsters Unchained being dug out and flattened, with trailers, containers and a water truck arriving in roughly the past two weeks.
