Universal\u2019s Epic Universe<\/a> has\u00a0one of the most bizarre theme park rules we\u2019ve ever come across.<\/p>\n

\"\"Emma and Quincy at Epic Universe<\/p>\n

Ever since Epic Universe opened, we have enjoyed incredible food<\/a>, the immersive rides<\/a>, and so much more. But this one theme park rule has thrown some guests for a loop.<\/p>\n

One of the more interesting offerings at Epic Universe will be the Darkmoor Monster Makeup Experience. Located in the park\u2019s Universal Monsters-themed Dark Universe portal<\/a>, the upcharge experience is set in the abandoned lab of Dr. Pretorius, which has been \u201cconverted into a parlor to continue the spirit of his demented experiments.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here, \u201cskilled artisans use their talents to experiment on customers and release their inner love of Universal Monsters \u2013\u2013 be they werewolves, vampires, or something even more fashionably monstrous.\u201d It\u2019s all very similar to Disney\u2019s Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, except instead of turning children into elegant princesses and shining knights, it transforms guests ages 5 and older into Dracula, Frankenstein\u2019s Monster, a werewolf, and other monstrous personas.<\/p>\n

\"\"Monster Makeup Experience<\/p>\n

The Monster Makeup Experience<\/a> offers two main packages for guests:<\/p>\n

The Experiment Ticket, which \u201cgets you in the hot seat where skilled monster makers will give your flesh a (temporarily) monstrous appearance\u201d using makeup.
\nThe Transformation Ticket, which adds clothing and accessories to the makeup offering, completely transforms guests into their favorite monsters.<\/p>\n

\"\"Monster Makeup Experience<\/p>\n

Both tiers of the experience transform guests into a monster at the heart of their own Universal horror story. However, there\u2019s one thing they won\u2019t be able to do:<\/p>\n

Drink alcohol.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s right, in one of the most interesting theme park rules we\u2019ve come across in a long time, \u201cGuests will not be able to purchase or consume alcoholic beverages at any of the Universal theme parks or Universal CityWalk while in makeup,\u201d according to Universal.<\/p>\n

\"\"Quincy in Dark Universe!
\nI Paid $50 To Get My Face Painted at a Theme Park, and I\u2019d Do It Again<\/a><\/p>\n

While the rule certainly does make sense, considering how hard it would be for Universal team members to accurately match someone\u2019s ID photo when their face is covered in monster makeup, it\u2019s still an interesting choice given the fact that the Monster Makeup Experience is very popular amongst guests over 21.<\/p>\n

\"\"Sorry, you can\u2019t enjoy a drink at the Burning Blade Tavern while in makeup<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re planning on having Universal turn you into a vampire, werewolf, or other creature of the night, just be warned you won\u2019t be able to enjoy an alcoholic beverage while in the guise of your horror visage. Stay tuned to AllEars for more on Epic Universe!<\/p>\n
