Universal: HHN’s Taste of Terror event details, pricing set
Universal Orlando has released more details about a new feature of Halloween Horror Nights called the Taste of Terror. The add-on attraction will allow ticketholders to sample select food and beverage items associated with the event even in the weeks before it’s Sept. 1 start.
According to the official website, the two-hour Taste of Terror will be held in the theme park’s Soundstage No. 33, which is just beyond the far end of Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit and near the New York Public Library set. It will include tasting-size portions, but will be “all you care to enjoy.” Non-alcoholic beverages will be included, and alcoholic drinks will be included via a hosted bar for folks age 21 and up.
Neither the website nor Friday’s Halloween Horror Nights news release specified the food and beverages that will be served, although the release made mention of Horror Nights foods such as el pastor torta, sour apple pie funnel fires and something called “Bloody Campground Poutine.”
The cost of a Taste of Terror ticket is $159.99 per person, and separate theme park admission is required.
