Finally all the Haunted Houses & Scare Zones Revealed at Universal Halloween Horror Nights
Universal Studios Orlando has released official descriptions of the haunted houses and scare zones that will be featured in Halloween Horror Nights 19. This year's icon has also been announced to be Julian Browning, an undead movie usher who welcomes you to the Universal Palace Theater.
Here are the descriptions of this year's Halloween Horror Nights haunted houses and scare zones with their movie posters below:
SAW: For years you have come to celebrate Halloween and to witness the weakness of others. The only way to gain redemption for this voyeuristic obsession is to truly know what it means to bleed, to feel weak; to experience pain. Jigsaw will give you this experience. Let the games begin.
The Wolfman: Pure Animalistic Rage. Take a journey through England's countryside and come face to fangs with one of the most terrifying creatures to ever explode from the silver screen. Forget everything you thought you knew, and prepare yourself for the sights and sounds of the newest addition to Universal Pictures' legacy of horror.
Chucky: Friends to the End - Ever wonder what happens when good toys go bad? Chucky has been hard at work, tinkering with your favorite childhood playthings. Nothing is what it seems as you step inside and experience what its like to live in Chucky's world. This is no Child's Play.
Dracula: Legacy of Blood - Welcome to Castle Dracula on the night of "The Calling." Vlad Dracul bids you welcome - be you one of the chosen women who has been called or merely a mortal man. Those who have been chosen must decide whether to join the Dark Prince in everlasting life as his brides, or reject his offer and suffer for all eternity. The blood must be renewed. The fate of the legacy hangs in the balance - Dracula's legacy of blood.
Frankenstein: Creation of the Damned - It has been a fortnight since his creation caused the castle to be engulfed in flames. Doctor Frankenstein now continues his work to perfect the art of resurrection and regeneration, surrounded by his creations. The Creature has also returned, to make the Doctor pay for the pain and suffering he has had to endure. The Creature will destroy everything in his path to gain redemption, and you are now caught in the middle of this epic battle.
The Spawning: Something "different" has moved in among the sewers of Wyandot County, Ohio. The locals claim that these creatures, these "Sculders," are two feet tall, with the body of a snake. As a volunteer member of the local water district, it is your civic duty to venture into these pipes and restore the flow. But beware, the locals are wrong about the "Sculders" and the only thing that will be flowing is your blood as it leaves your lifeless body.
Leave it to Cleaver: Samuel Meetz works for the people of Carey, Ohio as a butcher, bringing them the freshest meat possible. With a steady livestock of transients and town lawbreakers with which to serve, and a staff of volunteers who will preserve their towns deadly secret by any means necessary, there is truly no end in sight for Samuel or his family business. As Sam always says: "Meet Me at Meetz...The Z stands for cannibal."
Silver Screams: Julian Browning has been the usher in the Universal Palace since it opened in 1922, of course, he's been dead since 1940, but he still commands respect for his most beloved films from every patron. Buy a ticket to the Universal Palace, and let Julian usher you into a realm where the horror on the screen is ripped away to reveal a world that is truly terrifying.
Halloween Horror Nights Scare Zones:
Lights, Camera, Hacktion!!! - Hollywood Boulevard is being used as a location for the filming of the next big horror movie to be released in October 2010: The CHAINSAW DRILL TEAM MASSACRE in 3-D. Lights, Camera, Hacktion! Our director, Mas Imair, noted horror film aficionado, is bringing the massacre to life in blood-red terrorcolor. But the actors seem to be taking their direction literally and are "hacking" through the cast and crew. It's a close encounter of the worst kind as the backlot becomes a hacklot and the streets run red with blood. Are you ready for your close-up?
Cirque Du Freak: Inspired by Universal Pictures' upcoming film "Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant," which tells the fantasy-adventure tale of a boy who unknowingly breaks a 200-year-old truce between two warring factions of vampires. Pulled into a fantastic life of misunderstood sideshow freaks and grotesque creatures of the night, one teen will vanish from the safety of a boring existence and fulfill his destiny in a place drawn from nightmares.
Horrorwood Die-In: The Hollywood Drive-in has been closed for years, and some say the abandoned grounds are haunted, where late at night the dim flickering images of carnage and chaos, monsters and madmen leave the screen and enter the real world looking for fresh victims to star in their latest horrors.
Apocalypse: City of Cannibals: A whole civilization of war-like carnivorous humanoids emerges from the sewers and underground tunnels of New York, looking for fresh food. Half-humanoid, half-beast and ravenous, these tribal cannibals invade the streets of Manhattan. No one is safe!
Containment: When an experimental bio-nerve gas is accidentally released into the atmosphere, the streets are filled with a toxic green mist that turns anyone that comes in contact with it into an infected, melting glob of flesh and blood.
War of the Living Dead: On a remote island in the Pacific during the last days of World War II, German military attempted to create the unthinkable - a new breed of super-soldier made from the reanimated corpses of the dead. American forces quickly seized the island compound, but not before the reanimate agent was released. The island was quarantined and has remained a secret until now. Fifty years later, the two opposing dead forces are still locked in immortal combat with you caught in the crosshairs.
So, that looks like what we are in store for at Universal Studios Orlando Halloween Horror Nights 2009.

Universal Studios Testing Rip Ride Rockit with Real People
The following article is courtesy of Orlando Attractions Magazine
The new Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit roller coaster at Universal Studios in Orlando may finally be opening soon after a long delay. The ride was open for all Universal employees to ride last night. And if all went well with that test, it may have a soft opening for park guests as soon as 2 p.m. today.
Orlando Attractions Magazine reader Mickey who works at the Hard Rock Cafe at Universal Studios City Walk and was able to ride it twice last night. Here's his report:
I pulled in to the Ikea parking lot at about 6:15 p.m. to buy some furnishing for my new place. Before I turned off my car, I received a text message from my sister, who works at Blue Man Group, that Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit would be opened until 9:30 p.m. for Universal Orlando team members. At that time, I promptly headed towards Universal Orlando without a moment to lose.
They didn't let us enter using the normal queue entrance. They made all team members go through the backlot/soundstage area. The locker rentals were free for a three and a half hour window. They were strictly enforcing "NO LOOSE ARTICLES" on the ride. They even wanted me to put my ball cap in the locker!
I rode the first time by myself and waited about 25 minutes. While waiting, they show you videos on how to pick your music once you've finally boarded the vehicle. They also go through all the categories and show you some clips from the featured songs. There are a ton of fans and water misters in the staging area, and even though I was waiting in the evening time, it was "cooler" in the line.
I picked Sabotage by the Beastie Boys as my first song, and it really worked well with the ride. It was tall, it was fast and it wasn't too loud. Dare I say it ... I may like it more than the Rock ‘n' Roller Coaster!
There are kiosks at the ride exit where you can look up your own picture and video. The on-ride video wasn't functioning for the preview unfortunately. Also, several potential riders were turned away because the ride vehicles couldn't accommodate them. Hopefully Universal puts a sample car at the front of the attraction to avoid people waiting the entire line to get to the front and be turned away. Also, if you are too tall, you won't be able to ride! Lots of restrictions, but after riding it, I can see why. It is very intense, and I cant wait to ride it again and again!
Mikey was also Twittering (@justmikeyhrc) about his experience and described the ride as "More thrilling than Manta, but a different experience. Definitely more intense than Revenge of the Mummy."

The Miss America Girls Visiting Universal Studios Orlando
*Article, Photo & Video courtesy of Orlando Attractions Magazine*
Contestants for the Miss America 2010 pageant got together for the first time for a few hours yesterday (Aug. 12, 2009) at the Universal Orlando Resort, enjoying the many rides and attractions found within the Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure theme parks.
The girls were met just outside the entrance to Universal Studios for a quick photo shoot before heading into the park. While large groups of park goers wearing the same color shirt is not unusual to see in around any of Orlando's many attractions, it was definitely a uniquely head-turning sight for many guests (and ourselves) to spot such a group comprised entirely of attractive young women.
Following the shoot, the girls walked through the Universal Studios streets with the group as they began their day of riding the movies. With the pageant world of big hair, sashes, and evening wear temporarily put aside, the girls were ready to take on the arguably equally bizarre worlds of Jaws and The Mummy - though they still had plenty of big smiles and friendly waves to offer.
Below is a six-minute video that Orlando Attractions Magazine shot as they tagged along for the first couple of hours of the girls' day at Universal Studios. (And guys: I'm willing to bet you'll enjoy this video too, even if you're not a Miss America fan.)
This was the first time this group of Miss America contestants had all spent time together and it seemed like they were getting along very well. They were excited to be in the theme park capital of the world and enjoying the all of the sights and sounds around them.
When we left them, they were on their way to Men in Black: Alien Attack, removing dangling hoop earrings and loose sunglasses after being warned that the ride tends to spin. It seemed like the day at Universal was going to be filled with nothing but fun and friendship - but I imagine all that will change when January 2010 rolls around and it’s time for the girls to put their pageant faces on in their quests for the title of Miss America.

Universal Studios Orlando Raising Ticket Prices
Well a little after a week that Disney World raised it's ticket prices, Universal Studios has now done the same..The price now for 1 Day at either Universal Studios or Islands of Adventure is going from $75 to $79 plus tax...That's $83.74 for 1 Day 1 Park.
Like I said in a past post a about a week ago, I really can't believe that in these tough economic times that we are in, that Disney World or Universal Orlando would even consider raising their prices.
They talk about how attendance is down and that they are trying to come up with all these promotions to get more people to the theme parks, then why would they raise the price?
I give it about a year to year and a half befor it will cost the average adult $100 to get into the parks for 1 Day. What a joke..

Tips for First Time Visitors to Epcot Center International Food & Wine Festival
Tuesday is the first day to make reservations for this year's Epcot Food & Wine Festival at Walt Disney World.
As Orlando food critic Scott Joseph have noted, there are some notable changes this year, including charges for once-free sessions.
How this will affect the demand for reservations, we'll soon find out. I have asked several festival veterans what advice they'd offer first-time visitors to the festival. Here are the top tips:
- Don't stress about making your plans now. There's plenty to see, do, eat and drink at the festival to entertain even the most demanding first-time visitor who arrives without a single reservation.
- Do take a look at the festival guide [PDF] at some point before you arrive, though. If you see a particular chef, event or demonstration that really interests you, go ahead and try to make a reservation. Do keep timing in mind, though. In the past, many demonstrations have had queues forming early, though this might change with the new $8 charges for many. Still, Disney's Epcot Center a big park, and you're probably not going to make it from an event that ends at 12:45 to another that starts at 1. Give yourself about an hour between events.
- The Party for the Senses rarely sells out, and other events scheduled in the World Showcase (which is huge) are usually the last to fill up. Keep that in mind, if you are trying to make advance reservations for a few events.
- When you arrive, make a lap around the World Showcase, scoping out the offerings, before you start with the food and the wine. If you jump in first, without seeing all that's available, you're likely to end up with too much in the belly and too little in the wallet when you run across that really special selection.
- You can't get everything out of the festival in a single day, so don't even try. Again, take a look around, and pick what most interests you. Don't be afraid to take a bit of a risk, though. Trying something new, ultimately, is what the festival is all about.

Walt Disney World Set To Increase Ticket Prices Aug. 2nd
Walt Disney World is raising the ticket prices for its theme parks again. Disney last raised its admission prices in August 2008.
The Orlando Sentinel reported Friday that the base price of a one-day, one-park adult ticket will increase from $75 to $79. The same ticket for a child between the ages of 3 and 9 will go from $63 to $68. (Prices do not include sales tax) Prices for the resort's multi-day ticket packages also will rise. The new prices will go into effect Sunday.
The ticket increases come a day after the Walt Disney Co. announced its third-quarter profit dropped 26 percent, as slower DVD sales pushed its movie studio into the red. Does this make any since? If Disney World is loosing profits, then why would they raise their prices again? Especially in these rough and tough economic times?
Well if you are in need of a vacation & wanting to come to Orlando, Florida to visit Disney World, then check out our website for all your Disney World Vacation Packages at www.orlandodiscountticketsusa.com
