I don’t see this in any news for 2025, is this the old type of shows they had in the 90s and 2006?

Front scare zone.

I'll slightly reciprocate what I said in the thread for the Chainsaw Clownz scarezone and say that it'll be extremely dissapointing if this is just 2022's Sideshow Slaughterhouse almost completely reused.

On another note, I'd LOVE to see Hollywood Harry make an appearance as maybe a 'ringmaster' of sorts.

So the name Carnival of Carnage has a bit of heavy meaning.

The last time this name was used, specifically for Hollywood, was in the 2007 event as the main tagline and as the main focus. And outside of us, Orlando's since used it for 2015 for HHN25.

One surely has to ask a very obvious question from this. Why use Carnival Of Carnage, when it is most often associated to Jack The Clown.

You use it because it's already "cleared" legally. Hollywood has had issues getting seemingly straightforward scare zone names cleared by legal, for whatever reason. My guess is the original name couldn't get approved, they didn't have time to brainstorm/submit another option, so now we're here.

I'm sure its just a name they chose for it and nothing else. Same thing like Dead Exposure last year. The name seemed to suggest that it'd be a lot like Orlando's mazes, reusing the flash gimmick and continuing on with the storyline, but when looking at it, it practically had almost nothing to do with those mazes and was just name usage for the sake of it. Plus, Murdy has stated that he doesn't like using Orlando icons and I'm sure this'll be no different.

Universal finally dropped the zone art and official description in the Discover Universal article:



The carnival’s in town! Step right up and enter a seedy sideshow where murderous clownz make your horrified scream a part of the show.
