FanFest: SDxUM and HP Experience Details + Ultimate Fandom Price Decrease
SCOODY DOO X UNIVERSAL MONSTERS DETAILS
Speaking of being in an episode, Siercks told me that, as you head to the backlot, you’ll understand why you’re on this adventure and that something awful has happened.
“Someone has cursed the backlot and brought the Universal Monsters to life, and they are out and about throughout Little Europe,” Siercks teased. “Our job is to support the Mystery Inc. gang and solve this thing. We've got different clues that we have to solve for and interactions that we have to have with the characters - both Scooby-doo and friends and the Universal Monsters - to ultimately, at the end of the experience, go into a small moment where we get a chance, just like in the end of every Scooby-doo episode, to see if we got it right. And there's the iconic moment of the mask coming off the villain and revealing who the suspect was all along. So from start to finish, it truly is a really remarkable, unique aspect of the event.”
HARRY POTTER & THE FORBIDDEN FOREST DETAILS
That won’t be the only mystery to solve during Fan Fest Nights, as guests will also be able to grab their wands and head to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter for another immersive adventure, but this time it’s set in the Forbidden Forest.
“We're telling a brand-new story and creating a new experience where we're joined by a professor in search of a lost hippogriff,” Siercks said. “As we get deeper and deeper into the forest, we’ll meet different magical creatures and have different interactions that will ultimately result in the ability to find that hippogriff and solve this mission. There’s a level of intimacy there as we’ll be able to tell the story a little bit in more detail and let guests experience the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in a way never before experienced.
“And yes, guests are encouraged to bring their wands and cast spells throughout the experience along with our professor as we make our way through the Forbidden Forest.”
The price of the Ultimate Fandom Pass (entry to all event nights) has dropped from $250 to $199 as well.
