Let’s just say this weekend has been…EPIC.

We finally got a chance to explore Universal Orlando’s new theme park, Epic Universe. We’ve been running all over Super Nintendo World, as well as How To Train Your Dragon — Isle of Berk, Celestial Park, and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic. We also got to get our first really good look at Dark Universe, including the INCREDIBLE Monsters Unchained ride. Well, there was something about that ride that REALLY impressed us that we haven’t talked about yet: the lockers.

So, if you’ve ever visited Universal Orlando, you’ll know that most rides require you to put your items in lockers. You’ll also know that the lockers are kinda small — there just isn’t a lot of space in them. Look at these tiny things — you can barely fit a Loungefly in there (and it’s going to get squished if you do manage to stuff it in there):

Lockers at Universal

Well, the lockers at Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment are a LOT bigger! And y’all — that made us so happy. Because you can stuff a Loungefly OR TWO (OR THREE) in there without any problem. We also like that these lockers could fit stuff from multiple people, which certainly makes keeping track of everyone’s things a bit easier.

HUGE lockers!

So shout out to Monsters Unchained for its big lockers — we would love to see this become the norm across Universal (yeah, we know we’re dreaming, but if this could be what lockers for all new rides look like, we’d be happy). Also, we hope other theme parks are paying attention. We often bring a park bag with a lot of STUFF — we need better places to store them when on rides.

No room for bags on this ride!

In the meantime, we’re always on the lookout for the latest Epic Universe news, so stay tuned for more.
