I'll always be cautious when it comes to refreshes of shows that I enjoy, but this certainly makes sense. I do really like HMUS, but it is nowhere near perfect. As others' have noted, The Mummy (2017) takes up a good portion of the show runtime haha. In some ways, we are already in "the bad timeline" for the show's writing, and it seems to be doing just fine, almost entirely off the backs of the very charismatic improv performers.

Swapping in some new bits and gags certainly wouldn't hurt! The performers do really wonderful work, but there's only so many times you can loop the same exact gags and keep the energy, especially for a smaller and more intimate live show like this.

I totally understand that FNaF isn't exactly "make-up", but as a fan of the games from the very start, I can't explain how surreal it would be to see Fredrick Fazbear himself referenced in a permanent Universal Studios attraction haha! I am hoping we get at least an appearance within the "Best Of" montage segment or something.

I also agree with some others here that Darkmoor could probably show up towards the end of whatever Classic Monsters segment they put together. "... these films and the artists that worked tirelessly on them have left a legacy that lives on until this day!", and then showing quick footage from Unchained, or something like that. That would make sense for a company trying to hype up a new Horror-themed park.

Not worried about losing the "identity" of the show, pretty obvious that's what drives its popularity with the fans.

I am a bit concerned over the possibility of characters like Megan being pushed. The 2nd film proved it was a short-term fad.

For whatever reason, Disneyhead's initial post isn't showing up for me. How long is the refurb expected to be?

As far as changes - I'm fairly confident they'll keep the same vibe and sense of humor. For modern horror properties to include - I think FNAF and Nosferatu are definitely very likely inclusions. Maybe they'll update the lobby with some new exhibits too!

My 6 year old was just that kid ~3 weeks ago. He has no idea what a cigarette is, so they pivoted to him probably being drunk. It was classic.

It didn't specifically say. Closing in early January and reopening sometime in 2026.

I love this show. Hopefully the reimagining is on par with it or better.

My better half will be furious. But if they come up with something even better, that will ease the pain.

I am in the camp that I think a lot of both USF and IOA needs refreshing, updating, changing, etc. even though I love the parks and nostalgia I am happy to see these two parks getting updates and new things. With the exception of Hagrid's and Veloci I think just about everything else can move on to version 2.0 don't get me wrong though! Just can envision more current versions of things and know Universal has the resources to modernize things and continue to push the competition in the theme park industry.

I actually have a feeling they’re going to rely pretty heavily on The Substance as an example of modern horror make-up.

Wait didn't universal famously snub the substance and thats why it was streaming on Mubi of all places? Or am I misremembering something .

Can anyone post a legit source for this? The OP image isn't functional anymore and I can't find any news about this online.
