Me and a group of friends decided that there is no better way to start off October than doing something spooky in honor of Halloween. So what did we do? We decided to make a trip to Universal Studios on a Wednesday night for Horror Nights!
The park opened their doors at 7 p.m. Because we left on Wednesday, some of us had classes that ended a little late. We ended up arriving to Universal at 8 p.m. As soon as we passed through security and scanned our tickets, the jump scares began. We walked through the scare zone where my friends were frightened, screaming, and all jittery. That only means that the night has begun.
We first completed two mazes, A Quiet Place and The Nightmares of Latin America. Personally, I did not seem too fond of these mazes. They were not scary at all, especially A Quiet Place. We then proceeded to hit the Terror Tram, Ghostbusters and Universal Monsters. Those three were not that bad.
After going on a round of mazes, our group decided to have some fun on rides. We rode on both Harry Potter rides, Jurassic Park and Revenge of the Mummy. A couple of my friends had never been to Universal Studios, so we made it our goal to try and complete everything at the park. Because we went on a Wednesday, this was very possible due to the longest line at the park being a 35 minute wait. Majority of us agreed that Revenge of the Mummy was the best ride.
After a short food break, we finished the night off by doing the rest of the mazes. Some of our favorites were Insidious, Death Valley and Texas Chainsaw.
A night that started at around 6:30 p.m., the time we left to the park ended with us leaving at 2 a.m. We were able to accomplish our goal of doing everything that Horror Nights had to offer. It was a really fun time that brought a close group even closer. I would definitely recommend for everyone to try and go this season.
Hello Jonathan! This was a great read. I have never been to any kind of Halloween-themed night at a park because I feel like I would be too scared. Since high school, my friends have wanted me to go, but I have always declined, even though they are willing to pay for my ticket. I'm glad you had fun!
ReplyDeleteHi Jonathan,
ReplyDeleteYour blog was very entertaining! Universal Studios Horror Nights is a must-do during spooky season. I completely agree that it's a great bonding experience. It seems like going during the week is the best option, as you enjoy both the mazes and rides. You and your friends were so brave for tackling the Insidious and Texas Chainsaw mazes— I'd be terrified. I wasn't considering going this year, but your blog made me realize I can't miss out on the fun!
Hi Jonathan! I don't know how you do it. Horror nights sounds so... scary! I'm glad you had a group of friends with you though, that always helps keep the air fun and light. Maybe I'll consider tackling my fears and going this year. Glad you had fun!
ReplyDeleteHi Jonathan,
ReplyDeleteI loved reading your blog. As someone who hates going to horror nights or knotts scary farm, I was happy to experience it through your POV.
Hey Jonathan,
ReplyDeleteHorror Nights at Universal Studios sounds great! I went to Knotts Scary Farm this year and it was cool but next year I'll definitely go to Horror Nights. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Hey Jonathan,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I enjoyed reading your blog. I really wanted to go to Universal Horror Nights, but I just didn't have the time. I would have loved the Texas Chainsaw Massacre one since, for me, the first three movies are great. If you ever want to check out a super scary attraction, I suggest you try The 17th Door Haunt Experience.
i agree with you Jonathon, Mummy is the best ride.. i went two weeks ago but i was bummed out that jurassic park ride is still down....
