Sneak Peak at Acid Assault at HHN

Warning signs posted in New York

Now that the houses and scare zones have been officially announced, Universal is making quick work of preparing the park for the event. The most obvious preparations thus far are in the New York area where props for the "Acid Assault" scare zone are already on display. Among the features are rotting vehicles, warning signs and some creepy strange baby buggies filled with bags and garbage.

Horror Night Nightmares also reports towers with projectors pointed at Macy's, the Metropolis Tribune and the New York backdrop for projection effects. These special effects could make the buildings look damaged, worn or even as though they're melting away before your very eyes. Exactly how these projections will play out is yet to be seen, but they have definite potential to produce some very neat effects.
