Common Orlando Resort and Common Studios Hollywood are two theme parks that any fan ought to go to any likelihood they get, however all people is aware of that there’s one occasion Common does that’s the pinnacle of its 12 months, Halloween Horror Nights. Yearly a wide range of franchises, most not usually a part of the park, get their very own devoted spooky experiences.
Sadly, the opposite 9 months of the 12 months that HHN isn’t operating, there’s nothing else fairly prefer it, at the least till now. Deliver on Common Studios Hollywood’s Fan Fest Nights.
Final 12 months Common Studios Hollywood introduced a brand new after-hours arduous ticket occasion referred to as Fan Fest Nights. Whereas we had been informed that the occasion would come with widespread franchises like Star Trek, Again to the Future, and Dungeons & Dragons, we didn’t actually know what the occasion could be like.
Now, Common has confirmed that Fan Fest Nights will resemble Halloween Horror Nights — at the least, in construction — as completely different components of the park might be devoted to completely different franchises, with giant themed areas company can stroll via or just hand around in. Right here’s a breakdown of what you’ll discover.
Star Trek: Purple Alert
Star Trek needs to be one of many largest franchises on the planet that doesn’t have a big theme park presence. However Star Trek: Purple Alert sounds similar to what followers would like to see. Together with giving followers an opportunity to really stand on the bridge of the Enterprise.
This might be a walk-through attraction, much like an HHN home. The story is about within the Star Trek: Picard period and can see company visiting the Starfleet museum that appeared in Picard Season 3. Whereas company are “touring” the ship an alien entity assaults, resulting in company shifting via numerous well-known units, together with a rebuilt model of the Enterprise-D bridge as seen in Picard. Friends will go away by beaming out. Common is teasing that specific impact, so we will’t wait to see the way it works.
Again to the Future: Vacation spot Hill Valley
It’s exceptional how widespread Again to the Future nonetheless is in the present day contemplating that no sequels or reboots have ever been launched. Maybe a part of the rationale for its continued life is the truth that Common Parks have saved Again to the Future at entrance of thoughts. You possibly can see the Delorean and meet Doc Brown at Common Orlando and the Hill Valley Clocktower set from the unique Again to the Future remains to be seen day-after-day as a part of Common’s Studio Tour.
That set would be the centerpiece of Again to the Future: Vacation spot Hill Valley. The “Fan Tram” will take company all the way down to the set, the place a recreation of 1955 Hill Valley might be available, together with characters, music, and extra. Friends aren’t often allowed to stroll across the backlot like this, so this one might be particular.
Dungeons & Dragons: Secrets and techniques Of Waterdeep
Dungeons & Dragons is a recreation that requires gamers to make use of their creativeness, however that might be much less crucial with Secrets and techniques of Waterdeep. The walkthrough attraction will see company be a part of the Harpers, the community of spies, and foil a plot by the gangster beholder named Xanathar. The excessive level of that is more likely to be Xanathar himself, because the multi-eyed monster might be delivered to life via a creation from the Henson Creature Store.
As a D&D fan who has DM’d video games utilizing Xanathar earlier than, I am unable to wait to see him come to life. It is the closest factor to a sequel to Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Amongst Thieves, I am more likely to get.
One Piece: Grand Pirate Gathering
One of the enjoyable components of Halloween Horror Nights are the scarezones. The areas are extensive open areas constructed to completely different themes that company can merely stroll round at their leisure, assembly characters, getting photographs, or simply having fun with the vibes. One Piece: Grand Pirate Gathering will deliver the long-lasting anime to life on this similar manner, letting company change into a part of the pirate world.
Jujutsu Kaisen: Starvation of the Cursed
One other widespread anime can even be represented at Fan Fest Nights. Jujutsu Kaisen: Starvation of the Cursed is a movie that has beforehand solely been out there to see at Common Studios Japan. Throughout Fan Fest Nights the Dreamworks Theater, which usually exhibits a Kung-Fu Panda 3D film, will display this widespread film expertise as a substitute.
Wizarding World Of Harry Potter
Fan Fest Nights Enjoyable isn’t restricted to model new experiences as a few of Common Studios Hollywood’s hottest lands are additionally getting in on the enjoyable. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter might be open in the course of the occasion and can give company the power to fulfill a number of of Newt Scamander’s favourite magical creatures, together with a Niffler, a child dragon, and grand Occamy. As well as, Hogwarts At all times — a projection present that takes place on Hogwarts citadel that debuted at Common Orlando Resort final 12 months — will debut within the West Coast Park.
Tremendous Nintendo World: Let’s Go, Yoshi
The latest addition to Common Studios Hollywood is Tremendous Nintendo World, and whereas a lot of the core characters on the planet of Tremendous Mario could be discovered there, one which has been conspicuous by his absence is Yoshi. The character has his personal attraction at Common Studios Japan and he can have one at Epic Universe’s Tremendous Nintendo World, however resulting from area limitations, there isn’t any Yoshi in Hollywood.
The little dino will make his debut throughout Fan Fest Nights, and might be out there for meet-and-greet alternatives. A brand new recreation, which can see company hunt for Yoshi eggs, might be out there, and “celebratory drone moments” might be going down all through the evening.
Meals And Merchandise
After all, it wouldn’t be a theme park if there weren’t loads of meals and merchandise alternatives available. Every of the brand new components of Fan Fest Nights can even have its personal themed meals and merchandise to assist followers full the expertise.
Fan Fest Nights will run each Friday, Saturday and Sunday Evening from April 25 to Could 18. Tickets are on sale now. It’s a reasonably restricted occasion, but when it’s a hit then we will assume that like Halloween Horror Nights earlier than it, it’ll merely proceed to get greater and higher within the years to come back.
