| Halloween Horror Nights 2011 at Universal Orlando Event Review |
| 2011-10-12 09:19:00 |
First Hand Review of Halloween Horror Nights 2011 at Universal Studios Orlando
Houses:
Depending on the year you go, houses at HHN can be hit-and-miss. Some years they have 10 houses, but only 3 are any good; some years there are only 6 houses, but each one will scare you half to death. This year, however, throws all that out the window. HHN 2011 provides 8 houses and only one that I have anything to gripe about. My personal favorites have to be The In Between (a “3D” house), Nightingales (set in the middle of WWI), and Nevermore (a nod to Edgar Allen Poe).
To avoid spoiling the In Between too much I’ll just say that it’s the scariest of all. Check it out—end of story.
Nightingales puts you in the trenches of a battle in WWI battle where, ironically enough, the nurses are bloodthirsty predators and (surprise!) you’re the prey. What I like about Nightingales is that it makes sense for your path to be narrow and rugged; it’s a trench in a WWI ba...

| Halloween Horror Nights Gets Early Reveal Thanks to Burger King |
| 2011-08-26 14:30:00 |
Halloween Horror Nights Spoiler from Burger King
Earlier this month AAA accidently posted a full house list for Howl-o-Scream at Busch Gardens, and it looks like Burger King may have revealed the Halloween Horror Nights 2011 Icon a week early. No word yet if it was an accident or a scheduled release. All fingers still point to Lady Luck as 2011 Halloween Horror Nights Orlando Icon.
It don't hurt to point out that Universal Studios did promise on their Halloween Horror Nights 2011 Twitter page that they would try to "misdirect" eager fans. Since the release of the poster Universal has responded with:
To those of you who think you have seen the face of HHN 21: You haven't seen anything yet."

| Disappointment for Disney World at D23 Expo 2011 |
| 2011-08-20 08:56:00 |
No News for Disney World Florida at D23 2011
The D23 Expo started yesterday and everyone had high hopes for some big announcements like the Fantasyland Expansion reveal at the D23 Expo in 2009. Though there was some big news for Disney Shanghai, decent announcements for Disneyland in California, and lots of plugs for Aulani Resort – Disney World news was all about updates on how the Fantasyland Expansion at Magic Kingdom was going, and relatively short news at that. Although we did get to see some pretty amazing videos of the ride technology that will be coming and a Fantasyland “fly through”.
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Coaster
This ride coming to Fantasyland will be based on the Seven Dwarfs and their diamond mine. The ride technology looks pretty amazing.
Magic Kingdom Fantasyland Expansion Model
Looks like Disney plans to do a lot of changes to the land in this section of the park – trees, streams, hills, and rocks are all going to be added in.
Even if ...

| Spoiler Alert: Halloween Horror Nights 2011 Possible House List |
| 2011-08-19 11:58:00 |
Halloween Horror Night 2011 Speculated House List
Universal Studios Orlando is hosting their 21st Halloween Horror Nights event this year. It has been tougher than ever to decipher clues about this year’s theme and houses due to a massive social media campaign from Halloween Horror Nights. Instead of all of the clues being found on their home page, Halloween Horror Nights has been tweeting, facebooking, and mailing fans all sorts of disjointed clues. We have been wading through all of the updates for you. Full list of possible houses are below. This is all speculation until Universal Studios does the full Halloween Horror Nights 2011 reveal.
Eight Halloween Horror Nights 2011 Houses listed in no particular order.
Graveyard/Crypt – Probably our icon house with Lady Elizabeth Hawthorn who lived – and died in the 1800’s
World War I type warzone hospital with life sucking nurses
Saws n Steam Utopian House
Pirate House possibly based on the 4th ship of Ch...

| Disney Vinylmation Unboxing - and Contest! |
| 2011-08-05 15:28:00 |
Disney Vinlymation Unboxing Pictorial and Free Vinylmation Contest
After waiting for two weeks, my Disney Vinylmation order finally made it in!
What is Disney Vinylmation?
A collectible toy that comes in 1.5 inches, 3 inches, or 9 inches. Most Vinlymation are sold in a "blind box" where you don't know what you are getting until opened, though others are sold in "window boxes" that show you exactly what Vinylmation you are receiving.
What if I don't like mine?
As with Disney pins, Vinylmation is designed to be traded. All Disney Parks and some Disney stores will allow you to trade in your toy for a choice of another. See a great video from Disney Parks detailing the process.
So after hearing about these things for so long, I decided to try them for myself. I'm no good with surprises, so I picked up a window box of one I knew I would like, a limited release by Funko that I loved, and a blind box. I also picked up two boxes to give away! Contest details will be at the botto...

| Halloween Horror Nights 2011 Icon - Lady Luck Scary Enough? |
| 2011-08-02 11:47:00 |
Universal's Halloween Horror Nights 2011 in Orlando, Florida may have another original icon
Halloween Horror Nights 2011 at Universal Studios Orlando, Florida is claiming that nobody beats the house, and year 21 of HHN will be the scariest yet…but how afraid of Lady Luck are you?
No official icon has been announced yet, but Universal has been dropping taglines on the official Halloween Horror Nights Website and Press release such as “Be careful what you wager”, “To wait for luck is the same as waiting for death”, “Are you waiting for luck”, “Luck will run out”. The website sports a full gambling theme with imagery of a severed had holding playing cards. Lady Luck, or another seductive lady (maybe Jack’s girlfriend Chance?) as a Halloween Horror Nights Icon seems like a no brainer. Though Universal Studios can always be counted on for surprises.
Halloween Horror Nights returns to Universal Studios Florida September 23rd...
