This area included the previous location for the Donkey and Shrek meet and greet, which has moved permanently to KidZone. The back side of the former Monsters Cafe building is being gutted. The first visible work on the former Shrek 4-D building, since all signage was removed, includes some sections of the entry area being cut out. (In case you’re unaware of the history of this iconic carved pumpkin, check out our story on his rise to popularity here.) The most recognizable pumpkin can now be spotted at the very top-center of the display, Lil’ Boo. And the trusses in this area are being decorated with dozens of jack-o-lanterns.
This is most likely the Horror of Halloween scare zone, according to the latest announcement. Our first stop is the scare zone construction in Production Central.
HALLOWEEN SCENERY FULL
See the full photo report below, or watch the video for additional visuals. Plus, the first signs of exterior work on the former Shrek 4-D building are appearing, Monsters Cafe continues to receive work, and more. The fan-favorite, and unofficial icon of the event, Lil’ Boo has returned as the scare zones are being fleshed out in all areas of the park. Now that all of the haunted houses and scare zones have been officially announced for this year’s Halloween Horror Nights event, which begins September 2nd, let’s take one last check in on construction around Universal Studios Florida.
