Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights 2011 Haunted Houses, shows

Universal Studios Halloween Horror nights 2011

It’s time once again to tell you what will be going on at this years Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights 2011! Last year I was a bit disappointed as everything seemed the same, so to speak.

But this year they seem to be mixing it up a bit so maybe it will be worth the price. Each year they have a central theme, or head horror character. This year that character seems to be Lady Luck.

As it says in their official Halloween Horror nights website, try your luck at staying alive during horror nights and hope your luck does not run out! Sounds pretty cool to me.

However they will be putting on a bigger fourth of July fireworks show over at Universal Studios Orlando, the “old” park. It’s part of their Universal 360: A Cinesphere Spectacular show they hold each night during the summer.

Harry Potter Dragon Challenge roller coaster ride review

Harry Potter's Dragon Challenge roller coaster ride review

There are several great rides at the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios. One of them is Dragon Challenge, and here’s my review of this cool roller coaster ride.

Dragon Challenge is a thrilling ride at Universal’s Wizarding World of Harry Potter. It’s an update on the older Dueling Dragons ride. The coaster is unique because it includes not one, but two separate tracks and two different sets of cars.

One set of cars is the Hungarian Horntail dragon, and the other set of coaster cars is the Chinese Fireball dragon. The names are from the dragons you see in one of the Harry Potter movies.

Wizarding world of Harry Potter Flight of the Hippogriff ride

Wizarding world of Harry Potter Flight of the Hippogriff ride

If you have little kids in tow on your trip to The Wizarding world of Harry Potter at Universal Studios, and they’re Harry Potter fans, they’ll probably be disappointed that they can’t ride Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey.

Riders for that attraction have to be at least 48 inches tall. If, however, your little wizards are at least 36 inches tall, they can enjoy the Flight of the Hippogriff ride roller coaster.

What’s a hippogriff? A hippogriff is a mythological creature that has the head of an eagle and the body of a horse. Here’s the back story to the ride: Hagrid, the Care of Magical Creatures teacher, teaches young wizards-in-training to fly a Hippogriff.

Two miniature golf courses coming to Universal Studios CityWalk

Golf courses coming to Citywalk

It sounds a little strange, but two 18 hole miniature golf courses are coming to Universal Studios CityWalk! Strange because I was scratching my head trying to figure out where the heck they would fit them into the CityWalk complex?

The golf courses will be put in the lower level of CityWalk, next to the movie theater and visible from the long walkway that connects to the parking garage. The only place I can think they would fit is that tall grass area you now see to your right as you come into the complex.

Dubbed the Hollywood Drive-In Golf, they will be themed after 1950’s horror and science fiction movies. That seems fitting for the home of Halloween Horror Nights!

The two miniature golf courses at Universal Studios CityWalk will feature a flying saucer, graveyard, giant spider and the basement of a haunted house. They say it will really be done good with state of the art technology.

They also will be open both day and night. Sounds like one of a kind type of golf courses. Work will begin soon on them and finish by early next year. So look for those if your a miniature golf course buff!
