Halloween Horror Nights 2024 (USH) - Construction

Was it Lowes that sells the giant skeletons or Home Depot? ....if it's Lowes, I hope USH used Orlando's discount

The LED billboard has been updated...


***NOTE: I watched two complete cycles & only these two showed up. The Weeknd wasn't in the rotation.

May be time-sensitive. Talked to someone who was at the park today to look at stuff, and saw Weeknd on the digital billboard. They saw Weeknd ontop of AQP + Insidious.

Interesting. Yea because when I got the pic of The Weeknd, the other two weren't present lol

It is interesting--though I wonder what the circumstances for that are (especially as USH is perfectly fine having Weeknd on digital billboards across the town).

Meanwhile, a few things. From JP; the Chucky bar has seemingly nearly wrapped up work, with theming elements for the bar (and that it will be named Chucky Die Bar).


From HHN Reddit as-well; Terror Tram's opening seems to be a gauntlet like experience with raised platforms for actors.

A closer look too.

This makes all 4 scarezones this year having some kind of a large setpiece. Kind of genuinely insane.

Catch me going to guest relations on my way out to register how vital these dope scare zones are to my experience.

And lament the lack of DeathEater presence in Potter lol

And Petz or Catz or Dogz SZ for the former Baker St

I'm shocked, like I said before, most excited I've been for Terror Tram in AGES. This helps big time as the beginning of the TT has always been a dud for me, so hopefully this injects some fire into it.

Shhh... don't use the "F" word so close to the backlot. It's still recovering from 2008..

God, using the former Whoville space is SUCH a game-changer for this. Every year, I swear I could hear/feel a lot of people's initial burst of energy from the tram deboarding moment lose momentum as they had to slog past all that chainlink and around the motel, so just keeping the pedal to the metal from the get-go is so exciting! It almost feels weird to be excited for the Terror Tram again, but I'm here for it.

The other thing Terror Tram used to do is go through the middle of Bates Motel instead of all the way around. I preferred that because it just cut to the chase faster, but if they can make that walk along the back wall of the motel more interesting, I'd be up for it again. With this new set up though, maybe it'll be more brief and less noticeable.

I feel like Terror Tram has too many of those peaks and valleys. We're getting off the tram! Oh now we gotta go around the motel. We're at Bates Motel! Oh now we gotta go up this hill. Oh my God, the house -- not much here, just a photo op, keep moving. Oh War of the Worlds! It's empty of talent. Chainsaws at the exit! Cross the street nowwww. Nope set, so cool! Weird zig zag to get back to the tram.

My friend just sent me this....

It has returned for another year of photo-ops!

From JPLand, the Bates Motel for the first time in what seems to be since 2011 will be getting a maze like segment.

Back in 2011, Scream 4 Your Life had an alternative version that was present in the opening leg of the event run; that included a maze sequence infront of the Bates Motel. It was removed seemingly halfway into the event; as records are scarce outside of a 2011 video by Sharp Production.

My guess would be a Gauntlet for the Purgers, they've had 2 before

If I recall, it was removed after opening weekend. I think that is when I decided that I had to go opening weekend from now on, just in case something I liked got taken out of the event. Not that the chainlink maze in Scream 4 Your Life was good or anything, but it was the only representation of "Scream" actually being a part of the attraction. Once they got rid of it, the Scream elements were even more scarce. When people asked Murdy why it was taken away, he simply said, "I won a bet." I still wonder what that truly was all about.
