Rock Out to the Upside Down: Meet the New Stranger Things HHN Lagoon Show
Get ready for Hawkins! Universal Orlando announced a brand-new HHN Lagoon Show featuring Stranger Things. Relive five seasons of music, monsters, and memories.
It is officially time to dust off your cassettes and prepare to step back into the Upside Down. Universal Orlando Resort announced that the HHN lagoon show is about to transform into Hawkins, Indiana for an all-new nighttime spectacular: Stranger Things: Return to Hawkins.
Tuning Into WSQK: What We Know So Far About the HHN Lagoon Show
In addition to the 2026 Stranger Things HHN house, the Netflix show will be featured outside of the house. According to the official announcement shared directly on the Halloween Horror Nights Social Media, this brand-new HHN Lagoon Show is going to be a retro radio broadcast experience: “The music. The monsters. The memories. In this show, tune in to a special WSQK broadcast and relive your favorite moments from five seasons of Stranger Things.”
This HHN lagoon show announcement came out on the same day as some disappointing news for Halloween Horror Nights veterans looking to buy multi-night tickets with express. Those will not be offered this year!
Despite that, instead of a traditional linear retelling for the HHN lagoon show, we are tuning in to the fictional WSQK airwaves to cruise through five epic seasons of the hit Netflix series. Expect a synth-heavy soundtrack, massive water projections, roaring fountains, and state-of-the-art special effects bringing our favorite party and and their terrifying adversaries to life on the water.
The Music, The Monsters, The Memories
So, what can we expect to see projected onto the mist when this show debuts?
- The Music: You can almost guarantee that Kate Bush’s Running Up That Hill and Metallica’s Master of Puppets will blast through the lagoon’s heavy surround-sound speakers.
- The Monsters: From the classic Demogorgon lurking in the woods to the massive Mind Flayer and the calculating Vecna, the lagoon will become a playground for the Upside Down’s worst nightmares.
- The Memories: Relive the heartbreak, the triumphs, and the ultimate moments of friendship that have made this sci-fi phenomenon an absolute staple of pop culture.
We can’t wait to see how Universal utilizes its massive lagoon technology to bring the nostalgic world of Hawkins to life. Stay tuned right here to Main Street Magic as we bring you more updates, reviews, and survival guides for the upcoming horror season.
