Classic Monster Village​

Located in an old European village is where monsters lurk. This area is a more mature setting in both attractions and amenities and is a much spookier area compared to previous locations.
​

This area has three zones: a forest, a village, and a ruins area. When guests come in from Isla Nublar, they enter a village. Here, they can go on a trackless ride called Night of the Wolf-Man, a ride where they go through the forest and must escape the clutches of a werewolf. Also in the area is a dark castle, Castle Dracula, a roller coaster through the castle where guests help Abraham Van Helsing as he searches for the infamous vampire and encounter Dracula and his minions on the way. Monster Hunter Supplies is found nearby, as well as the Bloody Steak Restaurant.

The village borders a lagoon as well as Hollywood Boulevard. Here, guests can shop at the Monster Merchandise store and eat at Horror Cafe. Located to the west of the area is Creepy Keepsakes, a gift shop. To the east is Frankenstein's Monster Returns, a dark ride where guests encounter the monster itself. Located nearby is Black Lagoon, a dark ride where guests board a boat and encounter the lake monster. Drinks of Darkness is a restaurant nearby.

Last but not least is an area recreating Ancient Egyptian ruins. It is home to one big attraction, Curse of the Mummy, a motion simulator ride where guests travel through Imtohep's tomb and must face off with the mummy itself. Although it is based off of the classic version of the Mummy, this ride borrows elements from the Revenge of the Mummy coaster (which is inspired by the 1999 reboot.) The ride exits into Tomb Traders, a gift shop.

• Night of the Wolf-Man
• Castle Dracula
• Frankenstein's Monster Returns
• Black lagoon
• Curse of the Mummy

Dining:

• Bloody Steak Restaurant
• Horror Cafe

So I wonder which locations would be used for houses during HHN?

So I wonder which locations would be used for houses during HHN?

There would be 13 empty buildings around the park for this. There is one building on Hollywood Boulevard, two in New York, three in London, two in the Backlot, four in Classic Monster Village, and two in Ports of America.

Some ideas for houses of the event, with 1 to 13 being how intense they are:

• IT (12)
• A Quiet Place (5)
• Stranger Things (3)
• Texas Chainsaw Massacre (we are in Texas, of course) (6)
• The Ring (11)
• Classic Monsters (Dracula+Wolf-Man+Frankenstein+Creature+Mummy+Invisible Man) (7)
• 1950s Sci-Fi (original) (1)
• Salem Witches (original) (9)
• Murder Mystery House (original) (4)
• Mutants in Nuclear Power Plant (original) (10)
• Ghost Hotel (original) (2)
• Caribbean Zombies (original) (8)
• Land of the Nightmare King (Nightmare on Elm Street+The Exorcist+Other things) (13)

Ports of America

​

We now see the final area of Universal Studios Texas, Ports of America. Here, it recreates the United States' portside towns in the late 20th Century.
​

This area is split into three sections. The first one in a San Francisco area, which borders both Hollywood Boulevard and Classic Monster Village. Here, guests can eat at Richter Burger, Ghiradeli Chocolate Co., Chinatown Express, and Chez Alcatraz. In the area is also where guests can ride Earthquake: The Big One, a cable car ride that quickly turns into a race to survive when a massive earthquake strikes. The ride exits into San Francisco Traders.

The second area is an area based off of Amity Island, the fictional harbor town from Jaws. The main attraction here is Jaws: The Hunt. Here, guests board boats (ala Jungle Cruise) and go on a scenic tour of Ports of America and Classic Monster Village before running into the infamous shark itself. In the area is Shark Bites as a dining stop as well as Orca Essentials as a gift shop.

The last area is an area based off of Astoria, Oregon, the town seen in The Goonies. Here, guests can eat Italian food at Fertelli's Kitchen and shop at Astoria Store. At the end of the area is The Goonies and the Cavern of Secrets, a log flume based off of the film where guests go into the caves in search of One-Eye Willie's Treasure. Goonie Goodies is a gift shop that the ride exits out of.

Attractions:

• Earthquake: The Big One
• Jaws: The Hunt
• The Goonies and the Cavern of Secrets

Dining:

• Richter Burger
• Ghiradeli Chocolate Co.
• Chinatown Express
• Chez Alcatraz
• Shark Bites
• Fertelli's Kitchen

Shopping:

• San Francisco Traders
• Orca Essentials
• Astoria Store
• Goonie Goodies

I probably mispelled Ghiradeli and Fertelli, but oh well.

I meant like in Orlando they use soundstages, parade warehouse, and sprung tents, etc.

The Goonies and the Cavern of Secrets will be perfect for WB attraction. I wonder you can put more WB attractions like Harry Potter, Looney Tunes and DC Comics as Hanna-Barbera?

Two words: Six Flags

Before we go into Worlds of Discovery, let's go over the big entertainment.

Parades: The parade route will start on Hollywood Boulevard, going through New York and ending in London. Parades include the Universal Stars Parade, Macy's Christmas Parade, and Dance Party Parade.

Nighttime spectacular:
There will be a show on the lagoon where Ports of America and Classic Monster Village is. Jaws would close early for this. This would be a World of Color-type show projecting moments from Universal movies like Despicable Me, Jurassic Park, The Mummy, and others, and it ends with a finale where King Kong climbs the Empire State Building.

After a long haitus from this project, I am ready to go into Worlds of Discovery.

This is a different Universal park than most people are used to. Not only is it different than Universal Studios Texas, but it also contains a different layout. It is inspired by a Magic Kingdom-style layout, most especially the American and European Disneylands. The place is a land of dreams, mixing thrills with wonders. It also has a more tame approach than a Studios park, even though there are still thrill rides for those who seek it.

Here are the lands of this park:​

• Roaring City, U.S.A.​
• Super Nintendo World​
• Lost World​
• Mythical World​
• Wizarding World of Harry Potter (Hogsmeade, since Diagon Alley is part of UST's London area.)​
• Science Fiction World​

These areas will be gone over in later posts.
