Heavy metal fans can now climb aboard Ozzy Osbourne's Crazy Train for a frightful ride at Universal Studios' Halloween Horror Nights. The new haunted house attraction, developed as a living horror movie inspired by the Birmingham-born icon's solo career, opens August 28 at Universal Orlando Resort and September 3 at Universal Studios Hollywood.
A Tribute Starting in Aston
Guests begin their twisted journey in John Michael 'Ozzy' Osbourne's birthplace in Aston, Birmingham, before venturing through the disturbing world of rock and roll he created. The experience spans 45 years of his outrageous solo career, with music from six of his albums: The Blizzard of Ozz (1980), Diary of a Madman (1981), Bark at the Moon (1983), No More Tears (1991), Scream (2010), and Ordinary Man (2020).
Sharon and Jack Osbourne's Reaction
Sharon and Jack Osbourne said: 'Ozzy never stopped pushing boundaries, and he loved anything that gave fans a new way to experience his music and the worlds he created. Halloween Horror Nights has done an incredible job bringing that spirit to life. Walking through these haunted houses, you'll recognise so many moments inspired by his music and imagination. It's a wonderful tribute to Ozzy, and we hope fans have as much fun experiencing it as he would have had seeing it come together.'
The Ride Experience
At Universal Studios Hollywood, the haunted house starts with 'Crazy Train' and Ozzy's early childhood, then leads to the Osbourne Asylum inspired by Diary of a Madman. As guests weave through the decades, they encounter unique iterations of Ozzy's persona: Madman Ozzy, Werewolf Ozzy, and the Prince of Darkness from the 1970s. John Murdy, Executive Producer of Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood, stated: 'Ozzy Osbourne didn't just help define heavy metal—he created a cultural phenomenon that has influenced generations of music, art and horror. We previously had the privilege of collaborating with Ozzy, and this new haunted house is an opportunity to honour his extraordinary solo career. Inspired by all 13 of his albums, guests will journey through the dark, surreal worlds that fuelled his music and cemented his legacy as the one and only Prince of Darkness.'
