This week on Theme Park Workshop, we've got a catch-all episode of a bunch of great new things at the parks! There's so much more to "sea" at SeaWorld Orlando, so Bella breaks down all of the special seasonal offerings as part of the park's 60th anniversary and what we know about Howl-O-Scream Orlando's 4th year. Teamwork made the dream happen and DreamWorks Land has opened to replace KidZone with a brand new show and interactive environments galore. Universal Studios Florida is rolling out their summer offerings, and Halloween Horror Nights is rolling in with some "epic" haunted house announcements! PLUS: Chicanery ensues!

In the last part of our HHN 32 celebration, the Pod Squad looks back at (most) of all the other things we haven't talked about at the event yet. From food reviews to Nightmare Fuel, from Coconut Clubs to Twisted Playgrounds, we'll break down why we think it's worth doing the non-house, non-zone attractions while you're at the event, as well as why this season of Halloween Horror Nights was meaningful to us particularly.

In this second part of our HHN 32 celebration, the pod squad goes through the twisted task called "choose thy rank." We made some dark deals and offerings to narrow down, and though at times we thought ranking these killer houses would be the last of us, we believed, we saw it through, and now we're ready to unmask our top 10 houses of the event. We have our ultimate run counts, just for chuckles!

In the first part of our celebration of Universal Orlando's HHN 32, the pod squad looks back and ranks the scare zones this year. Together these zones told the twisted origins of this year's icon, Dr. Oddfellow, and brought forth unique terrors, killer vibes, and icons of their own. Could it be our favorite year of scare zones?

Our favorite time of year (that's Haunt Season!) is in full swing, and we've gotta tell ya about some of our favorites so far. Adam and Kelley got to attend media night at Sir Henry's Haunted Trail for Theme Park Workshop and explore all three trails, ride the brand new Legends of Halloween Haunted Hayride, and celebrate the event's 10th season. Meanwhile, Bella was able to go to Howl-O-Scream at SeaWorld Orlando as media for @Flynnridersnose and sample several of the offerings their siren song calls guests to this season. Find out why we recommend these spooky scary events!

Destination D23's parks panel this year was a thing that happened. Adam and Kelley get together to talk about the disappointments, the surprises, and the teases. (Well, they'll *potentially* talk about it. We just know DinoLand won't survive the next D'Amaro meteor.) We also talk about the other broken promises Disney has given us over the years, look at the trend this year of just following up on things with the most minor of details, and discuss whether this was the right tone of announcements event after "Disney100" the company has had.

As Minion Land on Illumination Avenue opens today at Universal Studios Florida, Adam and Kelley give their in-depth thoughts of the park's newest update, from the new attraction Illumination's Villain-Con Minion Blast, to the various shops and eateries, and of course, the brand new Minion Cafe. We discuss if it's a fun addition, if it's worth coming to Universal for, and the different experiences in the land so far. PLUS: With HHN 32 on the horizon, we give our top hype list - because how can we ignore it?
