Theme park and attraction news, rumors and videos.
When Universal Studios Florida opened on June 7, 1990, one of the most epic and reliable attractions available was the “Ghostbusters Spooktacular.” I remember experiencing this show as a kid and being surprised when such a unique attraction closed just six years after the park’s opening. Since it was such a short-lived attraction, let’s take a look back at what made it so special.
Halloween Horror Nights has shared a behind-the-scenes look at the annual haunt event in a new video – as well as a sneak peek at the first haunted house for 2021.
I am a huge fan of the “Scream” franchise. I remember as a young teenager hearing so much buzz surrounding the film. It was a sleeper hit that kept growing week after week. It seemed like everyone had seen it except me.
Universal Orlando’s nighttime spectacular, “Universal Orlando’s Cinematic Celebration,” is set to make a return this weekend.
Even though Halloween Horror Nights isn’t happening as usual at Universal Orlando Resort this year, you can still bring some of the spooky tastes home with this recipe for the Nachos Queso Fundido!
As a kid, I always thought that if an attraction was in a Universal Studios theme park, that meant it was a Universal film. As I grew older, I started to recognize that isn’t the case, and that a lot of the time, intellectual properties are licensed in order to use certain characters in the parks. A great example is “Beetlejuice.” For a long time, I thought this was a Universal character since he was featured so much in the park. I was surprised to find out that that film was distributed by Warner Bros. It was equally as confusing at a younger age with everything at Disney-MGM Studios.
With the upgrade from 4G cellular data offerings to 5G comes faster and more reliable Instagram story uploads, Facetime calls, video downloads, and YouTube live streaming. While some theme parks offer wi-fi, it can be spotty or slow when the parks are busy. Some Android phones already offer 5G, and now Apple has announced new 5G capable iPhones, so we compared data between three of America’s biggest cell providers, AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile, to show you how your new 5G phone may handle in the parks.
Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando Resort got a bit of a makeover this year, but there are still plenty of Halloween tricks and pumpkin-y treats to help everyone celebrate the most horrifying time of year.

Right from the top, I’ll admit that I am not the biggest fan of “The Simpsons.” I haven’t seen very many episodes and I simply was never enthralled by it the way so many are. But it always seemed like a no-brainer to me that “The Simpsons” could have (and should have) been a part of Halloween Horror Nights in the Universal Studios theme parks. But now, it’s probably too late and this opportunity has been missed.
