SeaWorld introducing Havoc to Halloween event

[Disney4me]

SeaWorld Orlando is introducing a new icon for its Halloween event.  Howl-O-Scream visitors will come face-to-face with Havoc,  which the theme park refers to as its “ambassador of darkness.”

The Havoc character looks the part: Charred skull, ember-inspired eyes, dressed in chains and tattered black coat, armed with a bloody machete and a motorcycle

“Havoc is the ringmaster of ruin and guests will feel his presence long before they see his smoldering silhouette,” a Howl-O-Scream news release said.  Havos previously was bound by the Sirens, the previous faces of the SeaWorld event.

Also new to the after-hours event, which runs on select evenings beteween Sept. 5 and Nov. 1, is a live show titled “Throttle,” in which Havoc and his “nightmare riders tear through portals,” the release said.  The “Monster Stomp” show and its Jack the Ripper-styled production also returns this season.

SeaWorld Orlando also revealed four new Howl-O-Scream scare zones. They’re named Trailer Park Tragedy (“territorial tenants”), Echoes of the Glass (“warped-mirror maze”), Woodrot Hallow (“trees week sap like blood”) and Ashes of the Forgotten (abandoned scrapyard).

The park had previously announced the event’s haunted houses, including Widow’s Nest, the Rave Yard, Collector’s Curse, and an encore of Farm 51.

Howl-O-Scream evenings also include five themed bars and beverages, plus the “Grave Danger Thrill Show” presented by Hellzapoppin Circus Sideshow.

In addition, some key rides and attraction operate on Howl-O-Scream nights, including Mako, Ice Breaker and Pipeline coasters plus Infinity Falls, a water ride.

It’s the fifth edition of SeaWorld Orlando’s Howl-O-Scream. The park’s Halloween Spooktacular, a family-friendly daytime event with trick-or-treating and other light activities included with regular admission, returns Aug. 30 and runs through Nov. 2.

NBC will air special about Epic Universe theme park
