Welcome to the New York area of Universal Studios Orlando, now with a hauntingly themed overlay from two of horror's most iconic movies: Friday the 13th: Jason Takes Manhattan and Leprechaun in the Hood.
As you enter the area, you're immediately transported to the eerie streets of Manhattan, circa 1989. The buildings are graffitied and dilapidated, giving off an ominous vibe that something sinister is lurking nearby. The iconic mask of Jason Voorhees hangs from a nearby fire escape, signaling that you've entered his domain. You'll need to be on your guard and look over your shoulder, for he could be lurking around any corner.
As you continue through the area, you'll notice that the storefronts have been transformed to reflect the two movies. A sign above a seedy-looking shop reads "MacDougall's Sporting Goods," a nod to the shop where Jason obtained his iconic hockey mask in the movie. Nearby, a pizza parlor bears the name "Katz's," an homage to the restaurant where Jason wreaked havoc. A nearby convenience store has been renamed "Hood Mart," in reference to Leprechaun in the Hood.
As you wander through the area, keep an eye out for hidden Easter eggs and references to the movies. You may notice a graffiti mural depicting Jason and the Leprechaun engaged in a battle to the death. You'll hear snippets of dialogue from the movies playing in the background, adding to the eerie atmosphere.
But be warned, the danger is never far away. Suddenly, the Leprechaun appears, cackling with glee as he threatens to unleash his wrath upon you. As you turn a corner, Jason looms in front of you, his machete glinting in the dim light. You'll need to run for your life to escape his grasp.
