Not that there was really any doubt about it returning, but AVP is pretty much confirmed. It seems certain props/costumes have been seen recently.

I'm curious to know if last year's crashed Predator ship façade will once again be the maze façade this year. I really like the ship, but I'd rather see them do something "new"/different with the maze so it doesn't feel like deja vu... I wouldn't mind seeing more costumed Alien scareactors like the one in the Alien Queen finale.

I hope they make a sequel maze to AVP and have it set in the military base like Orlando's. They'll probably just have it the same as ours and change a couple of scenes.

I've been having thoughts of this, AVP i'm totally fine if they do a Military base style, or hell; have it be the Winter mining town from the first film and you can still have the Queen.

Orlando's AVP was awful. I watched the videos. I was not impressed & after having attended for 9 years straight, it was not difficult to visualize the experience. While our maze last year wasn't perfect, it was definitely better and actually featured "aliens" vs "predators". I just want to see something changed up and not a complete duplicate. However, I'm sure an exact duplicate is inevitable...

Aging myself terribly but here goes...

I remember what had to be the first time USH had a halloween-themed event, we're talking1985-1986??...

Can't tell you if it was even labled with the HHN tag, but what I do remember was kinda of dark...

They had the tram running almost the full tour....of course after dark. In the New York sets, they had cars overturned, fires going , and "zombies" lurching at the tram.  In the Little Europe part, they had the monsters coming around, and as kind of a cool effect, they had "bodies" strung above the trams as they drove through certain areas. However they were low enough they''d scrape across the tram celing, then "Flop" down between each car as it passed, and bounce back up to scrape along the next car.

From what i heard, their was a tragedy during one of the nights-It may have been while we were there, but I dont know. On the way up the "physco-path" towards the house, various 'things' would be hiding in the tall grasses/bushes along the tram route and jump/reach out towards the cars. What i was told is one of the actors over compensated his jump, and was caught between tram cars, struggled to get free and wound up under the cars, run over. Supposedly his screams were real.....

Urban legend, maybe. Morbid? Yup.

BUT the scariest thing we heard all night was the band they had playing in the wild west stunt show-Ready For The World. I think i heard "Oh Sheila" three times walking around that night.....

Yes, the very first Halloween event at USH was in 1986... it consisted only of the Terror Tram (not how we experience it today of course, but like the description above).

Yes, the event was called "Halloween Horror Nights" even back in 1986.

Yes, the scareactor tragedy with the Terror Tram is true, No it is not an urban legend.

This tragedy is the reason why the event didn't return until 1992. It is also the reason why HHN Orlando was named "Fright Nights" during its first year (1991) because Universal Orlando was afraid calling it HHN would draw bad press due to the incident in 1986. Since Fright Nights turned out so successful, the following year (1992), the event was renamed "Halloween Horror Nights" and it saw a return to Hollywood as well (which surprisingly included the Terror Tram). Of course, the event out here would go on another hiatus again until 1997-2000. Obviously, we know it returned again in 2006..

Well I think the purge is perfect for the terror tram. A thousand times better than having the walking dead for the 4th year in a row

I wonder if Krampus could be a scarezone/Dark Christmas returns. Anybody have scarezone info?

Also lower lot scarezone should be Jurassic Park-themed. C'mon, Murdy... the past LL scarezones all sucked hard.

I should be able to find out SZs this week, haven't really gotten around to asking...

The current rumor floating around right now due to Murdy's tweets is that all SZs this year would be "original", since all mazes are "IPs". I'll see if I can confirm anything this week. With that being said, considering Dark Christmas was such a hit last year, I'd almost expect it to be brought back, especially if we're not getting an actual Krampus maze.

^ We actually *might* get one scare zone based off an IP people should really, and I mean REALLY love because it's what they've been asking for... We'll see how things play out. I wouldn't mind an all original line up however.

After just looking through Murdy's recent twitter replies, he said he is "writing descriptions for the SZs now"... He is also still saying he believes the next maze announcement will happen before the end of this week (so either tomorrow or Friday, seeing as its already Wednesday... unless it happens this morning sometime).

Right now he's tweeting about Crimson Peak, why some IPs happen/don't happen, changes that had to be made to the Dracula Untold maze last year, etc...

Agreed. Such a scarezone would tie in well with the new raptor encounter and the JP ride...you would think.

WestCoaster got a great shot of the SS28 tent from the Starway... it really gives you an idea of just how big the area really is with the tent.

Notice that you could easily fit TWO tents in this location... which would be no different from Orlando putting 2 houses in a soundstage, since you know, this technically is a SS location.

Hah... didn't even catch that "IN" thing. Good eye! Yep, Insidious is definitely being announced tomorrow. I'm expecting Orlando to put up a teaser soon because Aiello tweeted earlier that they should have a house announcement "soon" complete with  ;)

I'd be stunned if Universal paid for the rights for AHS just for a dinky scarezone.
