I have seen on youtube that Disneyland Paris had a scary event called Terrorific Night. So how come we don't have one here in the U.S.? So I have been thinking in the past few days, what if we could have a scary event in WDW? Magic Kingdom already have Not So Scary for all ages, Animal Kingdom certainly doesn't fit with the theme, we could do MGM but Universal already got a Halloween event at a movie themed park, so how about do it at EPCOT? Think about it, EPCOT is usually for older audience like MGM. So here how I imagine how to turn one of the happiest place on earths' parks into a horror freak show. For Future Wold, which it would be called Fright World, the EPCOT ball would be a giant harvest moon. Spaceship Earth will still be the same, no makeover. Mission Space would have something similar like Ghost Galaxy in Disneyland. Have the video completely different like they did to Star Tours 2. The orange side be scary and the green side be less scary. Figment would be a kid friendly Halloween makeover; the sound part would have Halloween sfx, the smell part would shoot out pumpkin spice scent, etc. Test Track ride will be the same except just add some Halloween lights display. The Wonder of Life would have a place for all ages to do Halloween activities. Caption EO would transform into a scary 4D experience. Universe of Energy would be EPCOT's ride biggest makeover, because it would be about the history of Halloween. Like the dinosaurs part, make it into the Underworld where monsters lives, then the video part show how Halloween started. Soarin, Living with the Land, Seas with Nemo are the only other Fright World's attraction that stays the same. Now for the main scary part of the park, World Showcase; a big scare fest. Before I get into the scary parts, World Showcase should have Halloween traditions around the world for the all ages like Christmas during the day. At night, on each country they would have a haunted house based on ghost stories and urban legends. The haunted houses would be located in the back where the parking lot, which is what would be transform into. They will have to build another whole parking lot somewhere else for the employees. Mexico and Norway ride will still be the same, and well as, the video shows. As for the front part of each country, have a small scare zone. France would have the fountain of blood, the lake would have green lights and fog rolling, and have a Halloween themed firework show. They still can do trick or treating if they want over at Fright World. Alright, so let me know what think about this Halloween themed EPCOT.
But what you're describing is a practical and financial impossibility. You're talking about tens of millions of dollars, possibly more, for new construction of haunted houses and a parking lot, replacement of ride videos and animatronics on existing rides. And extensive re-theming of existing attractions. They'd never, ever make the money back, let alone make a profit. In fact, it would be a money loser. Their typical park guests would be staying out of Epcot while this was going on. And they'd be relying on pulling in the same people who like Universal's HHN. But would those people pay to go to two very similar events?
