Overview
- A periodic recorded announcement was added to Halloween Horror Nights 35 queues at Universal Orlando, with video of the message shared online on Oct. 17.
- The captured wording tells guests not to touch performers, threaten or harass others, use obscene language, jump ahead in line, or engage in horseplay and warns violators will be removed from the event.
- A separate incident at Universal Studios Hollywood on Oct. 11 involved a performer portraying Nikki who cut short a meet-and-greet after young guests allegedly shouted at her, and that episode has not been publicly confirmed by Universal.
- Universal’s published Code of Conduct bans verbal harassment and disruptive behavior and gives the company the right to deny entry or remove visitors, but outlets say specific enforcement steps tied to the recent events have not been announced.
- Touching scareactors is a frequent problem at haunted attractions, and the new announcement could signal closer enforcement or changes to roaming character encounters that guests should expect through the end of Halloween Horror Nights.
