The Halloween Horror Nights event featuring an Alien vs Predator attraction is now under way at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida and Hollywood, California. The funhouse in Hollywood is based around AvP Requiem with a crashed Predator spaceship in a small suburban town and Orlando features a Weyland-Yutani laboratory. Some fans have been posting videos of the funhouse on YouTube. At first I preferred the Orlando funhouse as it was very similar to James Cameron’s Aliens but the Predator ship and Queen actually look pretty good in the Hollywood attraction.

The event will run until November 1st. Check out the official Halloween Horror Nights site for ticket information. Let us know in the comments if you went there and what you thought of the attraction.
At one point the wait times for AvP were longer than the walking dead. Over 2 hours! So if you are wanting to see AvP be sure to do that FIRST. The lines grow fast and will exceed 90 to 120 minutes very quickly. Also, if you plan on going be prepared to be checked at the gate like you are at an airport. They scan you, pat you down, make you take every little thing out of your pockets, etc. plus massive police presence is there. Which I dont really mind because I felt pretty safe thats for sure.
Oh, and bring $22.00 with you for a really sweet exclusive AvP shirt you can get in the main shop there. I am at work and can't take a pic of mine, but this image attached is the shirt that is for sale there. On the back it has a "Halloween Horror Nights 2014" logo by the neck.
the 1080p video still is not clear enough to show the little details or to convey the feeling you get when walking into that. plus the video recorder guy is speeding up the pace a little of walking through it with jumps if you look.
As shown you walk towards a truck and what looks like a avp video game building. a pred red targeting laser goes back and forth over the truck. Nothing but glee shoots through you as you walk into the tunnel. smoke machines and flashing lights as if you had stepped into your avp game for real. If you look, as you enter the room with the predator on the table there is a monitor showing everyone walking by in predator vision heat vision mode. a small detail that is entertaining to dance in-front of if you like.
Going in i didn't expect much from the humans, but those marines and personal did a great job. The predators (guys in suits) are tall like they should be and not cheesy. At the end they make ya duck down to walk down a avp air duct briefly where there is 1 alien you cannot back away from. The alien was no different than the other aliens but i think it was the only scary one because you had to get close to it. As a fan your probably not going to be scared of an alien or a predator, but those humans gave me a few jump scares because your not expecting them.
Itll never happen but i can dream
I went two years ago for the Walking Dead maze, those lines are pretty bad, that's why I'm getting a fast pass this year
Some of the effects were pretty cheap like the facehuggers, still want to go though.
However, I love the use of real people in the Orlando one. The marines are very cool.
