I wasn't really sure what section to put this post in so please forgive the duplicate posting.
Last year Universal opened their first year-round classic monsters themed micro-theme park. I call it that because it's one fifth of the theme park called Epic Universe. The classic monsters section is called Dark Universe and it's really well done.
It's in Orlando Florida. I have not been there but I have watched many videos.
There are themed restaurants, characters walking around, make up and costume experiences, concession stands, gift shops, and Wolf-Man themed roller coaster.
The main attraction is a dark ride called Frankenstein Experiment: Monsters Unchained. The premise is Victoria Frankenstein (Descendant of Universal's Henry Frankenstein) has created her own version of the Frankenstein monster. But that's not enough. Now she's got her sights on capturing and enslaving all the classic monsters. Yes, an evil petting zoo!
In the ride, her crazed assistant, Igore, is supposed to give you a tour of the monster exhibits where she's got the classic monsters imprisoned but something goes wrong. Dracula escapes and liberates the other monsters. Toward the end of the ride it appears that Dracula has been stopped or even killed but then you see Dracula's bat form swarm and apparently kill Igor.
Also the Dark Universe section of the Epic Universe theme park and the ride itself feature music by Danny Elfman. I love a good Danny Elfman score.
Here are two different ride through videos of it.

This one has a better shot of the bell where a subtle Quasimodo is hidden.
