Universal Reveals Cybergoria, an Original Cryo-Future Haunted House for Halloween Horror Nights 35

Announced Thursday, June 25, 2026, the house is the sixth of a reported ten HHN 35 houses to be revealed. Senior Show Director Matthew Flood (Universal Orlando Resort) leads the project.

Universal Files Permits for a 71,500-Square-Foot Building in Epic Universe's Dark Universe

Something big is taking shape in the spookiest corner of Epic Universe. A new permit filing points to a building of roughly 71,500 square feet planned for the heart of Darkmoor Village, the classic-monsters town inside the park's Dark Universe world, with Stantec Architecture listed on the paperwork. That footprint is on par with full attractions at Epic Universe, like the Mario Kart ride and the Untrainable Dragon show, so this is no gift shop. Universal will only say that permit filings are routine and that it has no further details to share, which leaves the fun question wide open: a new monster ride, a theater, or something else entirely?

Universal Orlando Sees No Closures From the Cuba Earthquake That Briefly Sidelined Disney World Rides

Universal Orlando reported no widespread closures from the 6.1 magnitude earthquake off Cuba this afternoon, while Disney World took more than 10 attractions offline for precautionary safety inspections. Universal's social-media response leaned into the contrast with a nod toward Earthquake: The Big One, the long-gone Universal Studios Florida dark ride that closed in 2007. Stardust Racers, VelociCoaster, Hagrid's, and the rest of the Universal Orlando coaster lineup stayed open.
