Laura SallsGuestRyanHostDonnaHostHi and welcome to the Theme Park Trainer Podcast and this week I'm very excited to be able to share that we have an interview with the team at Universal talking all things Halloween Horror Nights.
So I was lucky enough to be able to go to an event last week where loads of things were talked about in detail, all of the houses that were revealed so far, we got to hear a the real ins and outs of what was going to be in each one fortnight was announced during that session which is why you don't hear about it on this interview because that took place 24 hours before now obviously the last house hasn't been announced yet but i think we're all pretty confident on what that could be i won't reveal it here but Yeah, this interview was amazing.
It's the third time, I think it's the third time that we've had a chance to speak to Laura.
And she talks through every house, every scare zone that's been announced.
And just reveals loads and loads of the story behind this year's event.
Why Jack is back.
Why Dr. Oddfellow is back.
Why clowns might be a theme that we might be interested in for this year.
So...
Have a listen.
If you're really worried about spoilers for houses, I would say maybe don't listen to this episode.
Because there is a lot of information that you won't find out there on the house description so far.
Laura is just unbelievable with her knowledge.
So...
Have a listen.
Let us know what you think.
Leave us a review.
And, you know, I'm going to stop speaking now because all of you want to just listen to this interview.
So I hope you enjoy.
