SeaWorld Orlando introduces new icons for Halloween events. Visitors to Howl-o-scream will face Havoc, which the theme park calls “ambassadors of the darkness.”
The chaos character appears to be a piece armed with a bloody machete and motorcycle, wearing a burnt skull, Ember-inspired eyes, a chain and a ragredient black coat.
“Havoc is abandoned of ringmasters, and guests will feel his presence long before they see his smoldering silhouette,” a Howl-o-scream news release said. Habos was previously tied to a siren, the former face of the Sea World event.

Also, a new feature for the after-hours event, which will run in the evenings selected on September 5th and November 1st, is a live show entitled “Throttle,” which states that Havoc and his “nightmare riders tear the portal.” The “Monster Stomp” show and its Jack the Ripper-style production will also return this season.
SeaWorld Orlando also revealed four new Howl-o-scream Scare zones. They are named as the tragedy of the trailer park (“Tentres of Territories”), the echo of glass (“Skewed Mirror Maze”), Woodlot Hallow (“Tree Weekly Sap-like Blood”), and Forgotten Ashes (Abandoned Scrappy).
The park had previously announced ghostly homes for events, including Widow’s Nest, Raveyards, Collector’s Curse, and Farm 51 encore.

In addition to five theme bars and drinks, the Howl-o-scream evening includes the “Grave Danger Strill Show” presented by Hellzapoppin Circus Sideshow.
Additionally, several major rides and attractions work on How-o-scream nights, including Mako, Icebreakers, Pipeline Coasters and Infinity Falls and Water Ride.
This is the fifth edition of Seaworld Orlando’s Howl-o-scream. Halloween spooktacular in the park is a family-friendly daytime event with trick-or-treats and other light activities included with regular admission, returning on August 30th and running until November 2nd.
NBC will be airing special about the epic universe theme park
