“We now have our first glimpse of the walls for the show building next to Area15,” they continued. “Can’t wait for more information on Universal’s first-ever permanent horror experience.” Early in the building process, the photos show multiple pieces of construction equipment on fairly level dirt.

Naturally, this prompted horror fans to ask when the project would finally open. Although no official date has been given, Cristal and Cris predict that Universal Horror Unleashed will wreak terror on Las Vegas in the Spring or Summer of 2025. However, this depends on the progress made by Summer 2024.
