Madlands: Caged Cannibals and Cybergoria were both announced on Universal’s HHN social media pages.

These join fellow original concept houses H.R. Bloodengutz Presents: A Halloween Fright-tacular! and Jack & Oddfellow: Chaos and Control.

IP attractions such as Stranger Things 5: The Final Chapter and a house based on the Oscar-winning horror film Sinners have also been announced.

“In this haunted house, a defunct zoo is now the deadly domain of warring cannibal factions that have taken their animal instincts to extremes,” Universal wrote of Madlands: Caged Cannibals. “They’re territorial. They’re hungry. And you’re lunch.”

Cybergoria will take a more sci-fi-based approach, as guests will “awaken thousands of years in the future in this haunted house and brave a cold world driven by machines with a singular goal: to make you live forever, even if it kills you.”
