More scare zone trusses have gone up throughout Universal Studios Florida as construction for Halloween Horror Nights 32 gets underway.
New York
In the park’s New York section, crews have set up a stage near the Metropolis Tribune façade.
Trusses are up around the stage.
A sign warns guests to keep off the stage.
On Horror Night Nightmares’ latest speculation map, this scare zone was labeled with zodiac symbols. But no scare zone themes have been confirmed so far.
Another pair of columns and blue scaffolding wrapped in black scrims are across from the stage, in front of the previous Tribute Store location.
This may be the first year the Halloween Tribute Store will be in the park’s Hollywood section, though many hope to see it return to its original location.
San Francisco
There are many trusses throughout the San Francisco area.
They line the walkway leading through San Francisco, towards The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
Two are in front of the Ferries & Cliff House Gallery façade.
These columns are all topped with lights.
There are three trusses on the lagoon side on the road.
We noticed more lights had been installed on the corner of this building, overlooking the walkway.
A small truss is outside the exit of Fast & Furious: Supercharged.
The trusses in the courtyard behind it are permanent fixtures.
Blue construction walls are up in front of this façade, around the San Francisco Beer Company stand.
We don’t know if the stand is permanently closed, being replaced, or being updated like other snack kiosks in Universal Studios Florida.
It’s possible the stand is being removed to make more scare zone space. The pop-up bars around the park may compensate for alcohol sales during the event.
We can still just barely see the striped roof and “S.F. Beer Company” sign over the construction walls.
Below is what the stand looks like.
The construction walls extend far in front of the stand, a little bit into the roadway.
Another truss is on the other side of the construction walls, in front of the Amazing Pictures location.
A Krampus scare zone is rumored for this area of the park.
Across the street, an archway frames the entrance to the lagoon-side seating area next to the San Francisco Pastry Company. Another column truss is just past the archway, where San Francisco transitions into London (The Wizarding World of Harry Potter).
More trusses are through the archway, on the pier.
Temporary metal fencing is up in this area, too.
Despite the fencing and trusses, guests can still walk through this area to the tables and chairs.
A square set of trusses is at the far end of the pier.
And more columns line the pier behind Lombard’s Seafood Grille.
Hollywood
Hopping over to the other side of the park, an upside-down L-shaped truss is at the front of the Hollywood street.
It’s right outside the Brown Derby.
The speculation map lists this scare zone as “Vamp ’69,” but again, nothing has been announced or confirmed.
The Tribute Store is now located in this area of Universal Studios Florida. Currently, it’s themed to the 30th anniversary of “Jurassic Park.”
One more L-shaped truss is at the other end of Hollywood, before Central Park.
Central Park
Speaking of Central Park, tall trusses covered in green scrims have been erected on the sides of the walkway.
Since our last check on this scare zone’s progress, lights have been installed on top of the tall trusses. Wires connect them to each other overhead.
There is also an archway over part of the sidewalk and road.
The tall trusses alternate from one side of the street to the other.
The last one is just before the courtyard in front of Animal Actors on Location! More trusses are in place near KidZone and Springfield.
So far, Universal Studios Florida has announced houses based on “Stranger Things,” “The Last of Us” video game, and “Chucky.” Here are more stories about Halloween Horror Nights 32:
