Halloween Horror Nights 24 The return of the Scare zones.

 For Halloween Horror Nights 22 and Halloween Horror Nights 23, Universal experimented with new scare environments for those the events. Halloween Horror Nights 22 introduced NO scare zones and no place was safe; meaning that the scare zone of the past were gone and actors wandered the park. So if you were at restaurant eating, in  store shopping, putting things in a locker, etc. the scareactors could wander by and scare the living daylights out of you. I personally thought this was great...... many other guest said it was too intense.(Halloween Horror Nights are Intense that is the whole point)

Halloween Horror Nights 23 brought about a Single theme for  Scare Zones. They were all based on Iconic Scenes from Seasons 1 through 3 of The Walking Dead and Scareactors, in this case, zombies could wander from zone to zone beacause they fit the theme. There were also other scareactor tribes that wandered freely adding to the story line. This was decent but again other guest said it was too much and/or too boring.

So here comes Halloween Horror Nights 24 with the return of separate Scares Zones. The Purge: Anarchy, Bayou of Blood, Syfy's FaceOff, and MASKerade: Unsticthed.  The Purge by far was the star of these Scare Zones but was in limited operation while we were there because of the weather. FaceOff was just a waste of space and time.  Bayou of Blood had a lot of potential but then again weather kept us from seeing it in all of it glory.

 Here is a small sample of what Scare Zones are like at Halloween Horror Nights. This is From Halloween Horror Nights 24 on September 19th, 2014 opening night. Some of the effects like Flames and the Scarectors were not able to get on the bus to do their shows on the intended stage because of the rain. The Bayou of Blood had the scareactors pulled out because of the rain.

Next years Halloween Horror Nights will be celebrating 25 years of scaring people! We hope to be able to be there to see what they have to offer as the event is already being planned and planning starting even before this year's event kicked off.

The Hogwart's Express is truly a great experience

The Hogwart's Express is truly a great experience. Your experience is enhanced by the level of Detail that Universal put into Kings Cross Station and Platform 9 3/4.  From the Saxophone player as you enter the station to actually crossing into Platform 9 3/4, you will feel as if you are really on your way to Hogwarts! The hogsmeade station offers a great photo op with the Express in the background but the station itself is just so so. You will need a Park to Park ticket to experience this attraction and you will enjoy riding it back and forth as the to watch both shows to and from London!
