Test Track Reopening!
Test Track presented by General Motors will reopen on July 22! A fresh experience is coming to this beloved attraction, featuring a brand new musical score and exciting new scenes that showcase the latest in smart vehicle technology—making our rides not only faster and cooler, but more fun too.
One of the standout moments lets you “see” the world through the eyes of a car. Using advanced cameras and sensors, vehicles can now navigate with incredible awareness. Imagineers brought this cutting edge technology to life with a dazzling display of over 29,000 points of light.
While the ride celebrates the innovations shaping tomorrow’s automotive world, it also reminds us why road trips are so special: sharing memorable moments with friends and family and soaking in the beauty all around.
Keep a lookout for special early previews coming soon exclusively for Annual Passholders, Disney Vacation Club Members, Golden Oak residents, and Club 33 Members. We can’t wait to share this next chapter with you!
Universal Orlando has announced two spinechilling new original haunted houses for this year’s Halloween Horror Nights.
The first, "El Artista: A Spanish Haunting," plunges visitors into 19th century Spain. Here, a tormented artist retreats to a remote country manor seeking inspiration. However, the masterpiece he creates takes on a life of its own, possessing him in a haunting tale of art and madness.
The second haunted house, "Hatchet and Chains: Demon Bounty Hunters," transports guests to a lawless Old West town under siege. Red hot lava demons are unleashed, intent on possessing anyone in their path and melting everything they encounter in a fiery frenzy.
These immersive experiences promise to bring intense scares and atmospheric storytelling to this year’s Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando. Fans of horror and thrills will not want to miss stepping into these dark, captivating worlds. Tickets for Halloween Horror Nights are available now, reach out to your Carry on the Magic agent to purchase.
