As i had visited Universal Studios previously, Mr and Mrs Foodie thought it appropriate that i should attend the event.
The main focus of the event was to promote Barrhead Travel's link up, and promotions with Universal.
After a brief introduction and slide/walkthrough from Barrhead travel Orlando reps, and finally, a PowerPoint presentation on upcoming Halloween attractions from Universal Studios' Mike Aiello - one of the creative minds behind them.
Barrhead Travel has had a successful collaboration/link up with Orlando Universal Studios for some time time now. Most recent figures have shown a 30% increase in bookings to the resort. There is an interactive facility, exclusively for Universal Studios Orlando resort, in the company's city centre premises, for those wishing to experience a taste of what lies ahead.
The main event of the evening, was the presentation by UV's Mike Aiello. Mike has been involved un creating many of the Halloween 'horrors' over the years. New 'Horror Houses' for this year's Halloween nights, include Ghostbusters, Universal Monsters, and Netflix's Stranger Things.
