Monsters vs Ministry Two of the newest attractions in the world and are two rides commonly at the top of best Epic Universe rides and two of the best dark rides in the world if I could add. Both are extremely good, both have amazing queues, incredible reveals, and some of the most advanced animatronics I have ever seen. Which one wins this clash of heavyweights?

Everybody goes through this life extremely different. Some walk into their dream career right out of college, trade school, or maybe even high school and are able to keep their needs category well under 50% of their income.

In my defense I have been a bit busy with different time spenders like vacations and school but I had plenty of time to juggle everything and I just didn’t.

I have loved most of the additions of this year but the IP lineup isn’t really for me this year but I have enjoyed all of the houses I have been in.
