Haunted Houses Coming Back?
Unfortunately, Halloween Horror Nights has been canceled for this year. However, the rumor mill buzzed today with whispers of two haunted houses that will operate during regular park hours.
The extended park hours led Universal Orlando fans to infer that some number of haunted houses may be available at Universal Studios Florida in October.
No word on what houses the rumor mill expects to see this year. However, some regional parks, such as Six Flags, have announced that they will have Halloween festivities this year.
Disney World will offer some Halloween themed entertainment, but the Mickey’s Not-so-Scary Halloween party has been canceled.
