Oct17Halloween Horror NightsPosted at 13:23 in My Work

Last night, I attended the Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Florida, and I have only one single word to say: WOW! In terms of experience, this ranks very high amongst what I have done in my life. It was tense, scary, spooky, and really fun. Here are my top 5 reasons why:

• It is my first halloween in North-America, and coming from Europe, this event was really taking it to another level
• I have always liked horror movies, and this event's is built around horror movies culture, background and references
• Costumes, make-ups and prostetics are really movie quality, and you can see that actors and employees have as much fun as guests
• The scare zones are absolutely thrilling, all around the Park, and - believe me - actors are litteraly scaring you to death
• In terms of Project Management & Operations approach, having seen it behind the scenes, I am puzzled to see that they deploy everything between 5PM when the Park closes, and 6:30PM when the Horror Nights open. Great job guys!

I have only one thing to add, next time, I'll take Universal Express, and this would be my single advice to you. Queues were absolutely insane to some of the haunted houses (60 to 90 minutes, almost from start to finish of the night). It is said to be the best Halloween event in America, and from what I saw, I have no problem to believe that, I have enjoyed it a lot.
