Universal Orlando has announced that it is permanently closing one of its attractions. It’s the second attraction that the theme park has decided to shutter.

In 2005, Fear Factor Live invited Universal Orlando and Universal Hollywood guests to be part of the show. The Universal Hollywood version shut down in 2008, but the Orlando version continued until the pandemic shut down theme parks in 2020.

Countless numbers of visitors to the Florida theme park faced their fears to the enjoyment of the crowds. The Fear Factor stage has been shut down since March 2020. Currently, that area has been used for the Halloween Nightmare Fuel stage show which is part of Halloween Horror Nights. It will officially close on November 1st and there has been no announcement about what the park will do with the space, though there are rumors of an expansion to "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Diagon Alley," according to attractionsmagazine.com.

This is the second attraction that the theme park has decided to permanently close. Earlier this month, they announced that Shrek 4-D will close its doors in January 2022.
