Halloween Horror Nights fans, we’ve got INCREDIBLE news you’re bound to be thrilled about! We know we sure are!

Based on what has been announced so far, we’re really looking forward to the Haunted Houses and Scare Zones we’ll get to see this year, and we can’t wait to see what merchandise and dining options are available. However, we have just received confirmation that one entertainment offering is returning this year that we haven’t seen in years!
Universal Orlando just confirmed that a lagoon show is returning to this year’s festivities! You can watch Haunt-O-Phonic: A Ghoulish Journey at this year’s event, which is described as “A ghost story is rising from its watery grave to haunt the Universal Studios lagoon, featuring towering water screens and eerie music.”

Universal fans on social media are THRILLED at the return of the lagoon show, and we couldn’t agree more! Now, getting to experience the shows, haunted houses, AND checking out the merchandise and dining options can be pretty difficult since you’ve only got a few hours, but it can be done!

As avid Halloween Horror Nights goers, we suggest making a list (either physically or mentally) of what you’d like to experience the most, and work through your list that way. Getting houses done earlier in the night (rather than later) is a good plan, as the lines can get very long, and shows can fill up fast, so keep that in mind!

You may also not be able to complete everything in one night, so prioritizing your favorites can help alleviate the stress.

If you’re determined to do it all in one night, you can purchase an Express Pass to help skip the line for the houses and get through them faster.
