Credit: UniversalUniversal Orlando Resort (also called Universal Studios Orlando) has long been a beacon of entertainment, captivating audiences with its innovative rides, immersive lands, and beloved characters.
With the announcement of its newest theme park, Epic Universe, set to open its gates in 2025, anticipation is at an all-time high. However, amidst the excitement, there have been murmurs regarding the fate of one of Universal Orlando’s iconic attractions, the Horror Makeup Show. Rumors suggest that it may find its new home in the Classic Monsters land of Epic Universe. But is this speculation rooted in reality? Let’s delve into why this move may not be as straightforward as it seems.
The Horror Makeup Show holds a cherished place in the hearts of Universal Studios Florida visitors, nestled within the “Hollywood” section of the park. Its location is not arbitrary; rather, it is meticulously positioned to complement the thematic elements of its surroundings. Placing it within the Classic Monsters land, branded as Dark Universe, could disrupt the cohesive narrative of both the show and the broader thematic experience. The comedic timing and light-hearted tone of the Horror Makeup Show may not seamlessly align with the darker, more sinister ambiance of Dark Universe.
Moreover, the Horror Makeup Show is not just any attraction; it is a testament to Universal’s legacy, being one of the two remaining opening day attractions alongside the revered E.T. Adventure. Its historical significance and enduring popularity make it a cornerstone of Universal Studios Florida’s identity. To relocate it to a different park would not only disrupt its established presence but also risk alienating loyal fans who have come to associate it with the Hollywood section.
As we eagerly anticipate the unveiling of Epic Universe and its captivating realms, let’s take a closer look at what awaits visitors:
- How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk (Opening: 2025): Embark on a thrilling adventure as you soar through the skies alongside dragons and immerse yourself in the vibrant Viking village of Berk. Engage in wild boat battles and feast like a true Viking in this exhilarating land.
