### Concept: Hazbin Hotel Haunted Maze at Universal's Halloween Horror Nights

In a thrilling blend of immersive storytelling and bone-chilling frights, Universal Studios Florida presents the “Hazbin Hotel Haunted Maze.” Based on the popular adult animated series "Hazbin Hotel" by VivziePop, this haunted maze offers guests a nightmarish journey through Hell. Spanning multiple corridors and rooms, this maze is designed to immerse visitors into the darkly comedic and visually striking world of "Hazbin Hotel," complete with vivid set designs, character interactions, and heart-pounding scares.

### Entry Experience: "Earthquake: The Big One" Halloween Overlay

Guests will begin their journey by riding the iconic "Earthquake: The Big One" attraction, which has been given a special Halloween overlay with more intense and adult-themed story elements and effects.

**Queue and Preshow Changes:**
- **Frank Kincaid's Introduction:** The preshow remains largely the same, but Frank Kincaid introduces more adult-oriented jokes, hinting at a darker twist to the usual disaster theme. There's a brief blackout during the preshow, serving as a forewarning.
- **Lonnie’s Scare:** Lonnie, the assistant director, acts more jittery and frightened, dropping hints about something ominous.

**Main Attraction Adjustments:**
- **Earthquake Finale:** The earthquake sequence is even shakier and more violent than normal, with more sparks, intense flames, and violent shaking of the station supports, subway train prop, and gasoline tanker.
- **Blackout and Lucifer's Appearance:** As the train comes to a halt in pitch-black darkness, the TV monitors flicker to life. Lucifer Morningstar, ruler of Hell, appears and informs guests that they did not survive the earthquake and have died, marking their entrance into Hell.

### Transition to the Haunted Maze

- **Entering Hell:** Guides dressed as demons usher guests from the ride through a backstage door and into the haunted maze. The fog rolls in, obscuring visibility and adding to the atmosphere of dread.

### The Haunted Maze: Hazbin Hotel

**Section 1: The Arrival**
- **Hellish Entrance:** Guests enter a grand, hellish hallway adorned with firelit chandeliers, red velvet curtains, and eerie portraits of Hell's denizens. Grotesque demons welcome them to Hell with devilish grins.

**Section 2: Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel**
- **Lobby of Nightmares:** Guests walk into the Hazbin Hotel lobby, where they encounter recognizable characters like Charlie, Vaggie, and Alastor. Animatronics and live actors combine to create an unsettling atmosphere. Alastor delivers cryptic, spine-tingling messages over a vintage radio.
- **Reception Desk:** Another live actor portraying Husk hands out "room keys" with sinister smiles, suggesting that guests will never leave.

**Section 3: Sinful Suites**

**Section 4: The Nightmare Theater**

- **Escape:** Just when hope seems lost, an explosion of special effects distracts Lucifer, allowing guests to find a hidden exit door.

### Exit and Re-Entry to the Park

- **Back to Reality:** Guests find themselves back at the exit of the haunted maze, reemerging into the familiar sights and sounds of the theme park. Universal Studios’ staff will guide them back through a themed scenic route, ensuring a seamless transition.

Prompt: Write the concept and script for the haunted maze attraction (similar in layout to the haunted houses from Universal's Halloween Horror Nights) entirely based on the Hazbin Hotel (an adults cartoon/animated series made by VivziePop), located in the Halloween Horror Nights event in Universal Studios Florida. To enter this haunted house, guests actually have to ride an attraction, "Earthquake: The Big One", located in Universal Studios Florida. For the description of Earthquake: The Big One, it is an interactive attraction following the storyline of a fictional movie studio run by Frank Kincaid (played by Christopher Walken). The studio is going bankrupt and needs visitors to act as extras for key insert scenes. In helping Kincaid complete his film, the visitors are then asked to be a part of the finale sequence involving an earthquake. Earthquake's queue displays for movie props from fictional Disaster Studios films, including a Meteor-Struck House from Apocageddon, a torn apart plane from 300 Knots Landing, a mechanical shark from Das Schurke (the head from Bruce, one of the mechanical sharks from the Jaws attraction), and a giant tank being consumed by the tentacles from Super Mega Ultra Atomic Chaos. Guests are also greeted to Disaster Studios with a giant mural of destroyed Los Angeles, introducing Frank Kincaid as the "Master of Mayhem." Guests are introduced to Lonnie, an assistant director who cast guests for scenes that he needs to be shot in the soundstages. Guests are then taken into a screening room where Kincaid described his brand of film-making. He then asked visitors to help him complete his film. After a speech, guests are ushered into another soundstage where the scenes were shot. Audience members that were pre-picked to be involved in the scenes are brought out to perform, and scenes are filmed where a child jumped from one spot to another, villainous lab workers are hit by styrofoam rocks, a man flying, a man being thrown around in a flood, a woman screaming, a grandmother hoeing, and people noticing an awful smell with the song "That Smell" in the background which actually creates a scene of several bugs and insects buzzing around them, as if they’re trying to swat them away, later in the final cut of the film. Kincaid appeared on a screen and invited guests to take part in his finale that was being shot next door. Guests enter a subway station, modeled after BART's West Oakland Station, where they board a subway train. Small plasma screens on the train direct guests on the reactions needed to successfully shoot the scene. Departing the station, guests travel beneath the bay and soon arrive at the Embarcadero subway station. Shortly after arriving at the station, the lights in the station start to flicker, the second unit director tells the people over the intercom that it's just a slight tremor and that there's no problem. The station then goes dark, then the train is shaken by a violent earthquake. The entire station is seemingly destroyed as large cracks form in the station platforms, sections of the roof collapse, a gasoline tanker falls through the ceiling and bursts into flames, another subway train enters the station and derails, and a flash flood rushes down the stairs and into the station. These effects and props are recycled, with some new effects added in. Following the sequence, the train heads back to the West Oakland station, and the TV monitors on the train show the trailer for the faux film "Mutha Nature" (the trailer spoofs disaster films in general, and it stars an uncredited Dwayne Johnson as a park ranger who tries to save lives during a series of ecological disasters such as earthquakes, floods, and hurricanes. Green screen technology allows the trailer to incorporate scenes shot by guests, under the guidance of Universal Orlando staff). For Lucifer Morningstar's appearance after Shadow turned into him (and no, he is not Satan, since Lucifer and Satan are separate characters, and Lucifer represents the sin of Pride whereas Satan represents the sin of Wrath), he is about 6 feet (1.8 meters) tall and he has literally pure white skin. His hair is blonde, short-cut, and is slicked back with one tuft sticking out, and his blonde hair has thin light coral streaks on the thicker, paler blonde highlights. He has no facial hair on the lower half of his face (no beard, mustache, sideburns, etc), but he has eyelashes and sharp black eyebrows. He also has thin lips, and a mouth full of sharp white teeth. He has a biologically mid-to-late 20s aged body (despite being older than Earth itself and Lucifer being immortal). He has no visible ears or nose (not even a nose ridge, nose cartilage, or nostrils), giving him a less "human" appearance and instead having flat, smooth surfaces where the ears and nose would be. His eyes (which do not have irises) are light yellow with red slit pupils resembling those of a snake. He, like his daughter (Charlie Morningstar), has a large red circle pattern on each of his cheeks. His eyelids are light purple which give the appearance of eyeshadow. His forearms (including his hands) also appear to be dark grey, and it is noticeable when his sleeves are rolled up. Lucifer's white-red clothing is somewhat like a circus ringmaster; he wears a wide-brimmed white top hat with a golden snake and a red apple over golden spikes, which resemble a crown, and a red-lined and red-trimmed white popped-collared suit with eight golden buttons - his coat is worn over a light red-and-white striped waistcoat with two golden buttons and a small, accessorized black bowtie. He also wears a pair of long white poofy pants neatly tucked under a set of heeled black knee-high boots. On his left pinkie, he sports a golden ring which is presumably his wedding ring. Lucifer is usually seen carrying a red apple-topped black cane that matches his hat. Due to his angelic origins, he possesses six white wings with red feathers, which he can materialize and extend from his coat. He is shorter than his daughter, Charlie (who stands over 6 feet, around 6 and a half feet tall), and his wife, Lilith (who stands over 6-and-a-half feet tall). Despite his very thin body, Lucifer has the following powers; Flight (able to summon his six bird-like angelic wings from his back and he is capable of flying), angelic power (as a fallen angel, he possesses very strong angelic power, which holds sway over the demonic power of his contemporaries), demonic magic (as King of Hell, Lucifer has accessity to demonic magic at a much higher level than his daughter), hand-to-hand combat, super strength (as the King of Hell and one of the Seven Deadly Sins, Lucifer's strength is quite exceptional, as when he fought Adam (the Hazbin Hotel series' main antagonist/villain) he barely put any effort into the fight and easily defeating the powerful angel), shapeshifting (able to change into many forms and animals at will, for example; according to the Story of Hell, Lucifer briefly took the form of a snake (possibly his favorite animal form), and in the episode "The Show Must Go On", he took the forms of a snake, a goat, a bird, a horse, and an octopus (these animal forms are just examples of what animals he can shapeshift to), and when he shapeshifts, he still keeps some of his traits, like color scheme, red cheeks, hair, black bowtie, and white top hat), size manipulation (Lucifer changes his size a few times during the song number "Hell's Greatest Dad" in the episode "Dad Beat Dad", first when he’s sitting on his throne in front of Charlie where he is very large, and the second being when he falls out of the slot machine where he is much smaller), duplication (he can create multiple copies of himself), portal creation (he is able to conjure portals as a means of instant transportation, which other demons can use; for me example, Lucifer’s portals manifest as rings of sparkly light, being similar to the portal that took and removed Charlie and Vaggie in from Heaven in the episode "Welcome to Heaven", indicating that this ability is derived from his angelic powers), pyrokinesis (like his daughter, Charlie, he also has the power to manipulate fire at will), fire breath (in his full demon form, he can make fire come out of his mouth at will when he speaks), teleportation (he can teleport to any location by covering himself with glittery red mists), life manipulation (Lucifer is able to create and manipulate life; for example, he created Razzle and Dazzle (two small goat-like winged demons who serve the royal Morningstar family as personal bodyguards for Charlie and the rest of the family)), conjuration (he can create virtually anything he desires with a simple flick of the wrist, including but not limited to clothing, puppets, instruments, large fountains of champagne, and mountains of caviar), liquid manipulation (he is capable of carrying, manipulate, and throw yellow-colored liquid), ventriloquism, and full demon transformation (when Lucifer takes on his full demonic form, as well as displaying his wings, Lucifer displays a pair of red horns with an orb of fire between them and a thin crown resembling a snake with an apple above his hat, while his eyes also change to have red sclera with yellow pupils (unlike in his default form), he also has a black devil-like tail with spikes that ends in a triangular tip with a red heart at the center, while demonic eyes also appear on the inside his coattails; a similar eye also appears on his bowtie, in addition, his entire body gives off a light white glow). He also has musical talent (similar to his daughter Charlie, Lucifer partakes in singing), instrumental talent (he's known to be quite a skilled in various instruments, including being a very skilled fiddle player; Lucifer also can play an accordion to a minor degree), and great craftsmanship (Lucifer spends his time alone making rubber ducks with various gimmicks such as flipping backwards and spitting fire). Here's Lucifer's personality; despite his status as the ruler (king) of all of Hell, Lucifer possesses a grandiose and dramatic nature, acting very over-the-top in most situations. He switches between being silly and theatrical and awkward and melancholic. Like Charlie, Lucifer is ambitious in his beliefs. According to the "The Story of Hell" book Charlie reads in "Overture", Lucifer was an idealistic dreamer whose desire to gift humankind with free will led to the accidental creation of Hell and the subsequent banishment of it caused him to give up his dreams. After he and Lilith separated, Lucifer went into isolation and fell into depression. He coped by crafting and hoarding tons of rubber ducks, spending years in his home. This obsession also causes him to become estranged from his daughter, to the point where he barely calls her at all and thinks she does not want to talk to him. As a father, he falls short of expectations. Although he loves Charlie dearly, he seems to be preoccupied with his own problems. He rarely calls her, and when he does, it's usually because he's bored or needs something. When Charlie reached out to him for help in setting up a meeting with Heaven, he was thrilled to hear from her. However, he couldn't recall where she was or what she was doing, even though she had shared her passion project, the Hazbin Hotel, with him months ago. He also wasn't aware that Charlie was dating someone, or that she was attracted to women. This indicates that, despite his love for Charlie, he doesn't communicate with her and hasn't built up a relationship with her, though it was shown that Lucifer was much closer to Charlie in her childhood, even being the one that inspired her to pursue her dreams and passions, only becoming more distant in Charlie’s adulthood. While he is the King of Hell, Lucifer hardly rules over his subjects and leaves them to their own devices. As a result, his name (and, by extension, Charlie) carries little weight. While the denizens of Hell recognize that he is a powerful force to be reckoned with, they seem to know that little, if anything, would make him show up. Lucifer dislikes the Sinners of Hell and describes them as "violent, destructive psychopaths, hellbent on causing as much pain and destruction as possible". According to him, they are all "the worst" he does not believe they can be redeemed and he cares little for what happens to them. Despite his disapproval of Sinners, Lucifer hints that he regrets his role in ever giving them free will due to what they had done with it and the consequences that came from this. Although he understands his daughter's interest in rehabilitating Sinners, Lucifer is cynical about the idea of trying to save any of them, as he attempted to redeem sinners in the past, stating that Charlie doesn't know when he tried this all before, and that his dreams were too hard to defend. Since Heaven was so unwilling to listen to him in the past, he does not want Charlie to go through the same thing. However, she still manages to convince him to arrange a meeting in Heaven for her and Vaggie, which helps Lucifer regain faith in her plans. Lucifer is fiercely protective of Charlie, as seen when he threatens her bodyguards, Razzle and Dazzle, that they had better been doing their job protecting her. Later, when Alastor began rubbing in his failings to be a proper, supportive father to Charlie and her dreams and implying he had taken Lucifer's place as Charlie's father figure, Lucifer displayed jealousy toward Alastor, whom he began to see as a rival for Charlie's affection and became insecure about his father-daughter bond with her. In "The Show Must Go On", he arrived late, but joined the fight against Adam (the series' main villain/antagonist) and the Exorcists, helping Charlie defeat them. This protective nature is shown again when at one point, Adam tries to strike both Lucifer and Charlie from behind for them to block his blow and send him flying into the dirt. Dropping the mocking attitude he had previously given to Adam during their fight, Lucifer then proceeds to angrily berate Adam for threatening him and Charlie before beating him within an inch of his life, only stopping at Charlie's insistence. Lucifer is often times careless and doesn't think about what he says, even appearing clueless at times. For example, when confronting Adam, Lucifer misworded a verbal threat as an innuendo instead and smiled proudly afterward, and when Charlie corrects him, he forgets what he said. In his first meeting with Vaggie, he calls her "Maggie" right after being told her name. Additionally, even with his monumental position, he is rather socially awkward, for example, trying to connect with Charlie by excitedly bringing up that they both like girls. However, he is not afraid to fight or get violent, as shown when he fearlessly battles Adam and beats him up violently. In the process, he is unafraid to act cocky and successfully irritate Adam by reminding him about his failure with Lilith, as well as suggesting he slept with Eve. Lucifer shows more intimidation prowess when he orders Lute to "take her 'little friends' and go home". Even so, he adds "please" politely, showing his generally refined manner. Here are Lucifer's preferences (his likes and dislikes); he likes/loves his daughter Charlie (he even supports his daughter), circus imagery, rubber ducks (including crafting rubber ducks), singing, caramel apples, pancakes, musical instruments, girls, and polka music. However he dislikes sinners demons (including Alastor the Radio Demon), having given sinners a chance, Heaven's rules (especially Heaven's hypocrisy), the Hazbin Hotel's name (including the Hazbin Hotel's bar), someone teasing about his short height, see his daughter Charlie sad, and his daughter Charlie getting in harm's way (including the thought of his daughter (Charlie) being crushed by Heaven like he was), and himself being separated from his wife Lilith. In the Halloween overlay of "Earthquake: The Big One", the queue (and preshow) remain mostly the same (but having Frank Kincaid making more adult-oriented jokes to fit with the Halloween overlay, as well as having a brief blackout occurring during the middle of preshow as a hint of the ride not going the way it is planned, and Lonnie acting more scared due to what will happen). However, the main attraction (when the guests are riding the train vehicle) is even shakier and more violent than normal, with more intense sparks of electricity falling from the ceiling, the flames being more aggressive and intense, while the station supports seem to shake more violently than normal, and both the subway train prop and gasoline tanker sliding more violently (adding to the realism and further giving an impression of there being an actual earthquake while riding). In this Halloween overlay, and just after the ride ends, the entire building and the lights in the train vehicle the guests are riding in would blackout with all the lights suddenly shut off (simulating actual power outages), and the train vehicle does not head back to the West Oakland station nor does it show the trailer for the faux film "Mutha Nature". Instead, in just 15 seconds of guests waiting in the pitch black, there is a little appearance by Lucifer Morningstar (the king of Hell) on the TV monitors in the train, claiming that the guests did not survive the earthquake and had died (and the guests are entering Hell), with the fog rolling in (after the guests perished), and guests are led by the guides (who are demons rather than humans as before the ride began) into the actual house through a backstage door, before leading to the entire haunted house themed to Hazbin Hotel, all taking place in that animated show's depiction of Hell, with the ending of that haunted maze claiming that the guests will be in Hell forever, but the guests make it out of the maze and back into the theme park.
