Terrorific Nights 2014

Last year, I was kind of disappointed that there was no Terrorific Nights at The Disney Studios in Paris.  So hear are some of my ideas, thoughts and concepts for this years Terrorific Nights. 

Blvd of Lost Souls 

Starting with Studio 1, guest will encounter ghosts in 1920's to the 1940's attires with black and white makeup, as if they came from an old fashioned movie. With fog effects and grey lighting.

Dead End Street 

Production Courtyard will be themed after the back alleyways, cemeteries, and swampy environs of New Orleans Louisiana. Here guests will encounter the legendary voodoo queen Marie Laveau, Baron Samedi, voodoo deity of the dead, along with zombies, redneck locals and a swamp monster.

Carnival of the Weird 

Toon Studios has been converted into a surreal  and disturbing carnival. Demented clowns, sideshow human oddities, and circus performers will roam the streets that make guest scream and laugh at the same time. It will offer guest old fashioned midway games and performances.   

Village of the Dead 

The Backlot will transformed into a medieval village stricken with the black plague, with plague doctors, infected villagers and the rat catcher will roam the streets. 

Attractions 

The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror will feature characters as ghosts roaming the outdoor and indoor queues of the Hollywood Tower Hotel, just to keep guest entrained.   

The new attraction takes place in a prop warehouse, that housed relics that were either cursed or possessed. 

The catacombs is a maze, in wich guest must navigate with a lantern that will light up their way through the dark areas, as they encounter zombies, ghosts and vampires.

The Studio Tram will be themed to a ghost tour. The tour guide will tell guests urban legends and ghostly sighting at the backlot. They will encounter the spirit of a young actress who committed suicided, a graveyard infested with angry spirits, the murderous barber/butcher, a witch burning reenactment and an Egyptian tomb set with mummies and ancient gods.  

South America at Disney's Animal Kingdom

I've recently came up with the idea of having a South American area for Animal Kingdom instead of Avatar Land. It will be a multicultural combination of different parts from South America such as Columbia, Brazil, Cuba and Peru. 

Guests will make their way down a small sloped pathway through a dense rainforest canopy until they come across the village itself. The entire village will be modeled after Salento, Columbia. Street vendors will man their own separate stalls where they sell authentic street food from that region such as empanadas, arepas, different types of fruit.

The attractions will feature Raging Spirits, an outdoor and indoor coaster that tells the story in which guests board on a mine cart train in an ancient temple and encounter other-worldly creatures that want you out of their territory such as spirits, demons, creatures you’ve never seen before.

The next attraction is a flume ride based on the amazon river with a display of animatroic animals. The Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Gods is a dark ride similar to the one in Disneyland. The setting takes place on an Aztec temple, rumored to be the location of El Dorado and home to Mictlantecuhtli, the god of death and the underworld. 

Animal exhibits will showcase  many different animals from the rainforest such as jaguars, sloths, falcons, snakes, etc.

Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood Ripped From The Silver Screen

Icon: The Usher

The event will be similar to one in Orlando, but with a few additions and changes.

Backstory: The Universal Palace Theater was opened in 1922 by Carl Lully Jr in Hollywood California. It was full of opulence and always attracted a crowd of people. Unfortunately, in 1929 the Great Depression hit. The Universal Palace, along with 317 others, was forced into private ownership by Malcolm Wyandott. After that, the new manager took in a young adult applying for a job as an usher, Julian Browning. Browning truly enjoyed working at the theater and love horror movies. However, Browning was also very strict about the rules of the Palace Theater, and hated rude patrons. After the theater being in private hands for some time, a series of murders and disappearances of many theater goers, such as a rowdy patron mauled to death by a werewolf, a young bride to be drained of blood, and a maintenance man electoruted to death. Either the Universal Palace is haunted and taken a life of it's own, or Julian Browning was responsible for the deaths of rule breaking patrons. After Browning's death, the Palace became a home to shlock b movies and slasher flicks in the 1970s and 80s, until was eventually closed in the 1991 due the incidents, it was rumored that The Usher's spirit still walks the Universal Palace Theater and enact his revenge on another who would dare break the rules of the theater.
