Halloween Horror Nights 7 Preview Construction Update Before Dark 3 - Park Entrance Arch

The HHN7 marquee is now up at the park entrance, along with the character walls depicting this year’s icons and the Sins they embody. Since this entry will feature all 7 Sins somehow, let’s take a look first at the ones that won’t appear later.

Halloween Horror Nights 7 Preview Construction Update Before Dark 3 - 7SINisters Stage

During the media preview, the creative team shared that the Opening Scaremony is something like the gala premiere of a new movie, 7SINisters. As usual, the Opening Act will take a deadly turn when the true Evil arises, unleashing the 7 Deadlier Sins into our world.

More lights were added this week inside and around the frames. Looks like it’ll be dazzling opening – with that dramatic backlit effect treatment when the 7 icons appear. Arrive at the park early to catch the stars on the red carpet, in this grand opening act!

◂ Happy Horror Days ▸

Got your Horror-days in a mix? Calendar pages are plastered all over the iconic Jurassic Park archway. There’s even a movable round platform with pages surrounding it.

Those walls from last year’s Suicide Forest are pretty timeless. Except if you take a closer look, you’d realise it’s actually not the same. Something’s… missing.

More St. Patrick’s Day additions.

Halloween Horror Nights 7 Preview Construction Update Before Dark 3 - Happy Horror Days scare zone / Easter Horror Maze

The Easter Horror Maze is blocked off, so we can’t see what’s happening inside anymore.

But if you walk over to the other side, it’s out in plain sight. Grisly.

Nothing new at Circus Day/ April Fool‘s Day, except…

That mistake has been fixed. You’re forgiven.

◂ Pilgrimage of Sin ▸

Some set pieces were shifted around, but curiously, the marquee for this scare zone is now covered up.

The corpses that lie sleeping within the cages are still there, and if you want to take a look, go back to Before Dark Part 2.

◂ Zombie Laser Tag ▸

The Zombie Laser Tag marquee is finally up, along with numerous props from the park’s previous events. Ah, the memories!

I’ve recently learned that this attraction is designed to be a “VIP experience” and thus each group of 4 guests will enjoy being the only survivors in the zombie outbreak.

Halloween Horror Nights 7 Preview Construction Update Before Dark 3 - Zombie Laser Tag signs with mistakes

Well we all know what a Military Escort is. But what is a Scort? There are other minor mistakes in the signage at this zone. While I doubt they will be noticeable at night – still, you know. World-class event. Highest production standards.

Some of these blackboxes were left open. You don’t even need to step in with the cloth flapping in the wind, urging you to peek in. However for your own safety, please do not wander inside – the sets are still under construction and there may be tools or materials lying around.

◂ Make The Cut – haunted house ▸

Halloween Horror Nights 7 Preview Construction Update Before Dark 3 - Make The Cut haunted house entrance

Finally, some updates on the cool entrances to the haunted houses! Yes, the Terrorcotta Empress set hers up last week, but that’s at Waterworld and it usually looks quite plain compared to the entrances in other thematic zones such as Egypt.

Anyway, some billboards for Make The Cut were installed in the past week. Really cool to see this slice of the (Korean) HHN universe being set up here.

Note: Due to Halloween Horror Nights construction, the Prayer Room has moved to the extended queue area of Madagascar: A Crate Adventure. Please check with the park crew in Madagascar for the exact location.

    May I ask, for those who are Annual pass holders who get the email for the discounted 14 day Fear pass, does the deal expire? Would I need to use the promo code emailed to me asap/by a deadline?

    • Dejiki September 15, 2017 at 11:38 am #

      The promotion is valid until the last day of HHN7. You can purchase it online using the code, then register it at the park (with a valid annual pass). Alternatively you can buy the pass directly at the discounted rate inside USS.

      • Ed September 16, 2017 at 11:06 pm #

        Hi what is this promo that is offered to annual pass holders? How is it different from the $60 published online?

        • Dejiki September 16, 2017 at 11:08 pm #

          It is the same promo – $60 for Attraction Passholders. You are given the option to buy it online. Either method would require the Passholder to register the Frequent Fear Pass (similar procedure for Annual/Season Pass) in the park’s Membership Lobby.
