Race Through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon Opening In 2017

Yes, It's official!  Jimmy Fallon just announced that he will have his very own ride at Universal Orlando!  Since Race Through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon will be taking the place of Twister, Twister will be closing on November 2nd.  I am always sad to see a ride at Universal go and I will be lucky enough to ride Twister one more time on November 2nd. A ride such as Twister needed to be replaced though.  Twister was a great ride in it's day, but now with rides such as Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, The Revenge of the Mummy, and The Amazing Spiderman Ride it is time for a change.
I have always loved Jimmy Fallon, he is a very entertaining host and comedian and I can't wait to see how his ride turns out!          

What are your thoughts about a Jimmy Fallon ride taking over Twister?

Hulk Rollercoaster's Closing

The news is true.  The Hulk is closing, but only temporarily!  The hulk has been said to reopen in the summer or 2016!  Many people have been arguing if it was necessary or not to take down the Hulk and change it up, I personally am sad that is being shut down for the time being, but I am very happy it is getting redesigned. The last time I rode the ride it was very rough, and bumpy.
I have heard that they are going to change the line interior, and possibly the entire track!  I can not wait to see what the Universal Team does with the Hulk!

HHN ScareZone Anticipation Ranking

Since my last blog post was about my Anticipation Ranking on the houses for HHN 25, I thought I should give my ranking on the scare zones!  All of the scare zones this year look very unique and eerie! I can not wait to visit these wonderfully frightening scare zones!  So without further adieu, let's get started!


                           6:  Clowns with Chainsaws
                           

This scare zone isn't an official scare zone.  All I know about this scare zone is that there are many wandering clowns with chainsaws, which seems pretty freaky to me!  The reason this is number six on the list is because it isn't an official scare zone, and it has no props.

5:Scary Tales- Steampunk

Scary Tales is a scary steampunk twist on the modern day fairy tales, such as Snow White and Cinderella.  I love the idea of this scare zone, but I feel like it just doesn't have that scare factor that I am looking for.  The scare actors look freaky, don't get me wrong, but it just doesn't deliver much fright to me.  It may be much freakier in person though.

4:  Icons-HHN

The eeriest Icons and most horrifying characters from the last last 25 years have returned!

I, being a huge HHN fan, love the idea of bringing back the old icons from the last 25 years!  They each have their own stage to do their own mini performance, where they each do a 'kill' in their own  terrifying way!  This Scare Zone is defiantly a photo-op type scare zone, like last year's Face Off. The fact that it is a photo-op scare zone makes it a lot less scary, because for some reason, seeing the Caretaker taking a selfie with a teenage girl doesn't seem very scary.

3: Psychoscareapy- Unleashed

The insane inmates of Shadybrook Asylum have escaped and stubbled upon a Halloween Block party in the streets of New York.  They quickly decide they would kill for some costumes of their own!

This scare zone looks awesome!  The scare actors acting is perfect and the props are great!  My only issue with this scare zone is that, it just doesn't seem very frightening, but once I am there in person it will most likely be a lot more frightening!

2: Evil's Roots

Your darkest fears will take root strolling along the horrifying paths of Central Park as you face Evil 

Fairies, Humanoid Bats, Scarecrows, and many more horrors!

This scare zone looks amazing! The props are terrifying, the scare actors' acting is perfect, and the special effects are spectacular!  This scare zone is not used as a photo-op like Icons-HHN because it is too foggy.  I like the fact that it is not a photo-op, because photo-op scare zones aren't very scary.

The only reason this is 2nd on my list and not 1st is because I have been told that it is almost too foggy to where you can't even see the props.

1: All Nite Die-In- Double Feature

The Carey Drive-In Movie Theater has been closed for decades after the gruesome murder during a double feature.  Now it's Lights, Camera, Carnage as the theater named Die-In by the locals lives up to its terrifying name.  This is such a creative idea!  I love the scare actors' acting and the props!  My absolute favorite part about this scare zone is that there are two groups for scare actors.  One is for the old horror movies like Frankenstein and the Invisible Man, and the other is for newer horror movies like The Purge, and Chucky.  Now this scare zone can also be used as a photo-op which is a bit disappointing, but aside from that this is the best scare zone of the year!

That was my Anticipation Ranking for 25's scare zones.  Let me know your ranking in the comment section down below!  See you in the next blog!

HHN 25 Anticipation Ranking

Halloween Horror Nights 25's houses look stupendous this year!  I have not yet had the chance to visit HHN personally, but plan to visit by the first of November.  There has been so much hype for many of the houses this year, such as, The American Werewolf in London, Jack Presents: 25 Years of Monsters and Mayhem, Freddy Vs. Jason, and Body Collectors: Recollections. Not to mention the spectacular scare zones this year that include The All Nite Die-in Double Feature and Evil's Roots!
 With so many great houses this year I thought it would be fun to write my Anticipation Ranking for the houses and scare zones.  Then, once I return from HHN, write about my ranking after I have personally gone through all of them.  Without further adieu, let's get started!



                                 9: The Walking Dead: The Living and The Dead
                     

I have never seen the show before, but from what I gather... it's about zombies.

Yes, I know that it is about more than zombies, but I think the main part is about zombies... and lots of them.  I don't know terribly much about the house either, but from what I can comprehend, you begin at the Terminus "safe-haven" compound, and I imagine it is full of zombies.  After you walk through Terminus you walk onto the loading dock of the Del Arno Food warehouse with packs of "W" walkers in waist high water.  

This house sounds like a lot of fun this year, but compared to all of the other houses this year, it seems to be lacking in a fear factor.

8: The Purge

The Purge House was originally intended to be the Scream house but Universal had to change it at last minute.  The Purge is a 12 hour free-for-all when all crime is legal.  The Purge was a scare zone at HHN 24, and by far it was my favorite scare zone!  Since this house was so last minute, I feel like it didn't have the time needed to make it as great as it was when it was a scare zone.

I personally think it is better to have it on the streets as a scare zone rather than in a house.

7: Run: Blood, Sweat and Fears

Run first debyued as Run: Hostile Territory, back in HHN 16.

Run: Blood Sweat and Fears is a game show where you are the star!

Remember, the more gruesome the death, the higher the ratings!

 I haven't seen too much info on Run but from what I have seen it looks like a very fun, yet scary, house!

6: Insidious 

This house looks very terrifying, and I mean that in the best way!

In this house you are face to face with the evil denizens of the Further- The Long Haired Fiend, The Lipstick-Face Demon, The Bride in Black, and the newest evil...The Man Who Can't Breath. I can't wait to see the Lipstick-face Demon and this house in person!

5: Asylum In Wonderland 3D

I am extremely excited about this house!  It is filled with vibrant colors, amazing art, and scares left 

and right!  Asylum in Wonderland is made to scare you and make you wonder if Alice is imagining this world 

or if it is real.  The fact that HHN is having another 3D house is thrilling!  The whimsical world of Wonderland hopefully gave HHN a lot to work with!

4: Body Collectors: Recollections

The Body Collectors have returned!  When a blizzard rages the Body Collectors prey upon residents of Shadybrook Asylum!  This house is horrific and gory!  From what I have seen the facade is incredible, the scare actors are right on key when it comes to timing and the special effects are amazing!  This is one house I can not wait to visit while at HHN!

3: Freddy Vs. Jason

1... 2 Freddy's coming for you... and Jason.

In this house you will see Freddy and Jason fighting to the death, but don't think they aren't going to try and get you as well!  Using elements from the 2003 thriller film, Freddy Vs. Jason, will drop guests in the middle of the epic battle!  The only reason this is the third on my list is because I heard that in the beginning it is a tad bit slow.  Now, since I have not yet had the chance to check it out for myself, I will have to rely on what others say.  

2: An American Werewolf in London

One of the fan-favorite houses from past years is returning for a comeback...the retelling of the classic horror film, An American Werewolf in London.  I have always wanted to go through this house but never had the chance.  This year with using Express passes there is no way I can pass this one up!  The special effects are wonderful and the story is spectacular!  One of my favorite things that Universal does that is kind of unique compared to other haunted attractions are their use of puppets as opposed to animatronics.  The Werewolf puppets for this house look very live-like and frightening!  

1: Jack Presents: 25 Years of Monsters and Mayhem

Jack is Back and he is inviting you for the ultimate horror reunion.  This house will feature Universal classic monsters and some of the best past HHN themes.  There is no doubt that this house will be one of the best!  Having Jack and all of his ghoulish friends return is perfect for HHN's 25th anniversary!  This house looks equally horrifying and amazing!  I can not wait to see this house for myself!
