Most people know that when it comes to doing halloween it doesn’t come better than Universal and Halloween Horror Nights but SeaWorld Orlando are certainly look to be trying to rival what is on offer at the legendary Universal event of the year.
So far, the following haunted houses have been confirmed:
Captain’s Revenge – As you get lured aboard it is certainly not going to be plain sailing. With crew who have been driven mad by cursed treasure and the water having a sinister life of its own, your aim is to escape alive!
Beneath the Ice – this is a newly reimagined house from 2021. Here you are in for some frosty times as you join a rescue party to the wilderness of the Arctic Circle. You can guarantee any survivors aren’t going to welcome you with open arms!
We now know for sure that these scare zones will feature at Howl-O-Scream this year:
- Cut Throat Cove – takes place on the site of a horrific shipwreck with many gruesome pirates.
- Frozen Terror – Alive in the Ice – this is one walk you might want to take a rain check on as the inhospitable Arctic wasteland is swarming with icy, subhuman walkers.
- ‘Sea Of Fear’ NEW – Be lured inside the portal which holds terrors you’ve only heard whispers about. What lurks in the shadows and crevices? Do you dare dip your toe in the ‘Sea Of Fear’?
It has now been confirmed that the following shows will be included:
- ‘Lurking In The Deep: An Adventurer’s Tale’ – the famed explorer, Sam “Hud” Hudson, tells his tales from the horrific to the hilarious.
SeaWorld Orlando will also have two themed bar experiences; Longshoremen Tavern and Tormented. As usual, guests will also be able to experience their favorite rides and attractions in the dark.
Tickets are now on sale for Howl-O-Scream starting from $34.99 for a single night ticket which is considerably cheaper than a Halloween Horror Nights ticket which start from $73.99. For further information at Howl-O-Scream and to purchase tickets visit the official site.
