Islands of Adventure to host Halloween Horror Nights this fall

As far as I'm concerned, this is a must-attend event. Past Halloween Horror Nights at Universal have been amazing... Amazingly scary that is. Having Islands host the event I feel is a perfect move, because as they state in the article, there are so many more "nooks and crannies" for monsters to hide in, and as everyone knows, its just better park... The real question now is, what rides will remain open into the night? I'm just hoping for Dueling Dragon's with all the lights off. :)

Fire at nite! Pyrrhock and I are on a first-name basis......;)

AWESOME! I am so excited!

I love theme parks' Halloween events as much as coasters. Universal's event was intensely scary when I first attended in '96. Now, their event is merely blood curdling. Hopefully, this move to IOA will ratchet up the scares.

Regarding which rides will be open, I think all of the adult rides will be. It wouldn't look very good to have the guests walking around state-of-the-art thrill rides that are closed, would it? :-) *** This post was edited by Anastasia BeaverHausen on 6/13/2002. ***

As if the queue in Dueling Dragons isn't scary enough, you'll have to worry about somebody popping out.

Yea, I remember someone commenting that they should make the Dueling Dragon's queue line a haunted house. Oooooooo

That queue to me is already scary enough....But If you do make it even more scary they should make it a Medieval Times Haunted house.

Heres the press release.

Wow. Talk about getting my attention. This event has SO much potential!

Could Knotts Scary Farm finally have some competition??

Just wondering, but the majority of Florida park attendance comes from out of town tourists rather than locals? Do you think that this event will draw the locals more than tourists?

Hockeyman~ Thanks for the press release.

CoasterFanMatt~ I'm such a Halloween addict that I travel to Knotts Scary Farm every year. I'll let you know how it compares to the Islands. :-)

Regarding the market for the event, I think it's mostly Floridians who attend. But I'm sure someone who works for the industry could say for sure.

this is not an ordinary haunted house... this has some serious scares... alot of people came out this house with fear in their eyes and i didn't know why until i walk into this terrifying house... Dr. Caine is terrifying especially in my favorite scare... One tip walk slowly... You will see why this house is so serious... I dare you, walk slowly.... I dont suggest to take smaller kids into this one its pretty bad...Bad as in scary... I saw a few little ones coming out crying so dont put the little through this one... Maxium carnage and project evilution is alright for the little one to not too little... i didnt get to do scary tales or fear factor... Line will be 2+ hours good luck... Park is terrifying very well done...
