Very well-articulated. I really love this. In modern love stories, the last lyric is “the universe collects us”. I feel that this lyric ties to the lyrics that you mentioned. Like a unifying force of acknowledging what is present in the universe and being at peace with it. More on reddit.com

r/UniversalOrlando on Reddit: Summary of all 11 rides coming to Epic Universe
January 31, 2024 -
Note: this is primarily a summary of work by Alicia Stella at Park Stop, and is based on planning and trademark applications (which have all been accurate with the official information released so far).
I have also only included rides on this list, not shows or other attractions.
Celestial Park (2 rides)
Constellation Carousel
Type: Flat ride
Manufacturer: Unknown
Comment: Seems to be a fairly standard carousel, except it foes in a figure of 8 rather than a circle
Starfall Racers (x2)
Type: Rollercoaster
Manufacturer: Mack Rides
Similar rides: Icon (Blackpool Pleasure Beach), Velocicoaster
Comment: Duelling Multi-launch Coaster from Mack, it will be this parks Velocicoaster and almost certainly the stand-out coaster
Dark Universe (2 rides)
Curse of the Werewolf
Type: Rollercoaster
Manufacturer: Mack Rides
Similar rides: Cobra's Curse (Busch Gardens Tampa)
Comment: Family Spinning Coaster from Mack, it's a shame they didn't go for an Xtreme Spinner but that may have been deemed too intense
Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment
Type: Dark ride
Manufacturer: Robocoaster (?)
Similar rides: Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey
Comment: Uses the same KUKA-arm ride system as Forbidden Journey, though the layout suggests it will be less screen based.
Isle of Berk (3 rides)
Dragon Racer's Rally (x2)
Type: Flat ride
Manufacturer: Gerstlauer
Similar rides: Fairly common Sky Fly ride, especially in Europe
Comment: Duel Sky Fly's from Gerstlauer
Fyre Drill
Type: Interactive Boat Ride
Manufacturer: Mack Rides
Similar rides: Fairly common Splash Battle ride
Comment: Interactive Boat Ride from Mack
Hiccup's Wing Gliders
Type: Rollercoaster
Manufacturer: Intamin
Similar rides: Hagrid's
Comment: Family Multi-launch Coaster from Intamin. It looks like to will be similar to Hagrid's, but maybe slightly more family friendly
Ministry of Magic (1 ride)
Battle of the Ministry of Magic
Type: Dark Ride
Manufacturer: Oceaneering Entertainment Systems (?)
Similar rides: Amazing Adventure's of Spider-Man, Transformers 3D, Jurassic World Adventure
Comment: Uses the same SCOOP ride system as Spider-man, but won't be 3D - so hopefully less screen based
Super Nintendo World (3 rides)
Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge
Type: Augmented Reality Dark Ride
Manufacturer: MTS Systems
Similar rides: Mario Kart at other Universal Parks
Comment: Clone of the Mario Kart ride at other Universal Parks
Mine Cart Madness

Similar rides: Mine Cart Madness at Universal Japan
Comment: Clone of the Donkey Kong ride at Universal Japan
Yoshi's Adventure
Type: Omnimover
Manufacturer: Unknown
Similar rides: People Mover, The High in the Sky Seuss Trolley Train Ride!
Comment: People Mover style ride that will take you round the area
Interested to hear what ride people are most looking forward to, and if you think 11 rides will be enough?

11 is probably enough for now. With packed lands and wait times I do not think many people are going to get 11 rides in one day. Then you have to include the non ride attractions: Untrainable Dragon stage show, as said in another comment. Wizarding World stage show. All the minigames in Super Nintendo Land Various Meet and Greets Nighttime show Eating. So even if you do not like or want to ride all 11 rides there is still much to make up for it. I DO think that Dark Universe and Wizarding World can not rest. They both need that one extra attraction to really fill out the lands.
