A proposed Dracula Land theme park in Romania 🧛🏻 is sending shockwaves through the theme park community — and Park Peeps is breaking down everything you need to know. From rumored lands, rides, and potential new roller coasters 🎢 to early concept art, we analyze what this vampire-themed park could actually look like, including 🩸 Dracula’s Castle, a werewolf-inspired coaster, and other attractions teased so far.

We also examine whether Dracula Land is taking inspiration from Universal’s Epic Universe 💫 specifically the growing popularity of Dark Universe–style lands and monster-driven attractions like Monsters Unchained 🧟‍♂️ Could this be Europe’s answer to Epic Universe?

Beyond the rides, we dig into the Romanian folklore and Dracula mythology shaping the park’s identity, along with allegedly shady business dealings tied to the developers behind the project. For travelers considering a future visit, we discuss Romania’s controversial LGBTQIA+ sentiment and what it could mean for queer theme park fans.

Plus, we pivot back to Orlando with a deep dive into what’s coming next to Epic Universe, including a concrete clue inside the park that may point to a long-rumored Creature From the Black Lagoon boat ride 💦
