Joe, Lane, Nick, and Mike are joined by Banks Lee of Attractions the Show to talk about Volcano Bay, a new Universal Orlando hotel, Chance takes over Halloween Horror Nights, Guardians of the (annoyed grunt) Galaxy, and then Banks gives us the skinny on the new attractions in central Florida this summer!
We're roughly three months out from the start of Halloween Horror Nights and to kick it off Universal Orlando Resort and Michael Aiello have announced this year's icon: Chance.

Chance, the Harley Quinn-esque side kick to Jack, has been featured in 2007 and 2015's Carnival of Carnage shows. Now she will get the event to herself with a house and scare zone.
"For us, Halloween Horror Nights 26 literally takes place where we left off. The aftermath of the carnage is still fresh and Chance finds herself incarcerated for the crimes of last year. With the “Jack in the Box” on an evidence shelf somewhere waiting for someone to turn the crank once more, Chance bides her time within her cell," says Michael Aiello, Director of Creative Development for Entertainment at Universal Orlando in the Universal Orlando Blog post. "So, we have two very distinct states of mind for Chance—as well as two distinct looks. Terror itself, ripped in half… the shockingly real and the grotesquely imagined. This is an evolved Chance taking her rightful place atop Halloween Horror Nights."
Additionally, ticket and ExpressPass prices have been released. "Ultimate Fear" is a new ticket option, giving you access to every night of HHN. Thanks to Orlando United user ThemeParks4Life for the pricing and increases from 2015 to 2016.
