Universal Studios Hollywood announced another maze for its Halloween Horror Nights: "Universal Monsters Remix" will feature Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster and other classic Universal monsters in a gothic castle, set to "horror-inspired dance and electronic music." That sounds a little like a Halloween version of Universal Studios Singapore's Monster Rock show. What do you think? Will it be a good fit for HHN?
And getting to the big story of the day: As I noted in an update on yesterday's story, the deal for Stacy Snider and Steven Spielberg to return to Universal is said to be dead. And with that, Universal has no need to give up anything to Disney in exchange for letting the two out of their distribution contract with Disney. Looks like if Disney's has any hope of prying the Orlando theme park rights to its Marvel characters from Universal, it's going to have to offer something else instead. As far as I'm concerned, unless Universal could buy the Batman rights from Six Flags and build a Gotham Island in its place, I'd be thrilled to see Islands of Adventure keep its Marvel Super Hero Island.

Compare this type of ride to most any other ride that actually seems to go somewhere and do something and it seems like there is little adventure involved to the ride at all. And don't even think to compare it to something epic like Splash Mountain.... as you might fall into a deep depression if your local park still has one of these splash boat rides wasting space that could be taken up by something way cooler.
