Universal Horror Unleashed - Las Vegas, NV

[Parkscope Joe]

Glad seeing this pop up. Had noticed it as I was talking to people on TPS. Personally speculating/guessing: I think we get the "Overview" announcement on Halloween night.

Given the nature of this experience differing from a seasonal basis that HHN leans in, and how they've had Epic Universe use Thursdays as a major promotional window for overviewing their lands--it would check the boxes.

Makes sense, only issue is the rumors were a late 2025 opening which might make this a little too early to announce.

I could’ve sworn the rumors for Horror Unleashed puts it at Late Summer/Early Fall 2025, but I could be wrong.

I don’t have any knowledge of any strategies they may be imploying here, but I want to guess is that they really want to start pushing the marketing on this earlier then usual. If you announce things now you could get a head start pushing it to locals and people traveling to Vegas in the 2nd half of next year.

This project is very different so I am actually excited to see there marketing strategies.

Officially opening this before August 2025 would be… a… choice. I figured they’d want to maximize its first 90 days of operation, which is really only accomplished if October is in those first 90 days. The only reason I could see them attempting to market it this far out—or similarly open it in the spring—is because they don’t want Unleashed marketing to conflict with HHN marketing.

The weeknd would be perfect for Horrors unleashed I don't know how likely it is to happen seeing the speculation map.

With The Weeknd ending with HUT (as it's expected to drop in November with the current rate of preorders placing it for November 22nd), I think it's good that we got what we did. Had Horror Unleashed of been before HUT, then I probably would agree.

I'm going to CRY... Exorcist Believer is one of my ALL TIME favorite hhn houses I've ever done and you're telling me I'm going to get to do it again!?!?

Interesting change from Halloween to TCM + confirmation that it's explicitly Exorcist Believer. I think those are two properties that Universal has more rights over than Halloween + OG Exorcist.

Anyway, sounds cool! Awaiting more details.
