If you’ve spent the last three decades memorizing the layout of the Spencer Mansion, it’s time to put those skills to the test in the real world. To celebrate the franchise’s 30th anniversary—and give fans the ultimate appetite whetter ahead of Zach Cregger’s upcoming Resident Evil movie—Universal Horror Unleashed is officially bringing Raccoon City to life.
Running for a limited time from July 9 through August 30, 2026, this hyper-immersive Resident Evil takeover is completely included with General Admission tickets. The experience drops guests directly into the center of a biological disaster. It forces them to navigate six heavily themed, story-driven zones in a desperate bid to contain the T-Virus outbreak.
The Six Zones of Raccoon City
Pack your infinite-ammo rocket launcher (spiritually, at least), because the walkthrough is a literal tour through survival-horror history:
Zone 1: Arrival – Guests pass the ominous “Welcome to Raccoon City” sign. Watch as local police completely lose control of the initial Umbrella Corporation outbreak.
Zone 2: Mission – You’ll take refuge inside the iconic Raccoon City Police Department (R.P.D.) lobby. But you’ll have to solve interactive puzzles under a strict countdown timer.
Zone 3: Infection – A trip straight through the heart of the quarantined city streets, crawling with ravenous, flesh-eating zombies. Keep your eyes peeled here for a glimpse of the enigmatic Ada Wong.
Zone 4: Combat – The adrenaline hits maximum capacity as you walk right into a live-action battleground. You’ll stand alongside franchise royalty Leon S. Kennedy, Claire Redfield, and Jill Valentine as they trade blows with waves of the undead and notorious bioweapon villains. Once the dust settles, the heroes will stick around for exclusive photo ops.
Zone 5: Escape – Guests must execute a frantic final survival mission to get out of the hot zone alive.
Zone 6: Aftermath – The ultimate safe room. Survivors can step directly inside an Umbrella Corporation facility to unwind with exclusive, limited-time food and cocktail pairings.
The Biohazard Menu: Surgical Trays and Beakers
If you manage to escape the infected zones without getting bitten, Umbrella is rewarding survivors with a remarkably high-end, beautifully twisted culinary menu.
The Jill Sandwich – A premium, gourmet nod to the famous 1996 meme. Features thick brioche, hickory-smoked bacon, bibb lettuce, heirloom tomato chutney, avocado mousse, and a smear of black garlic aioli.
The Sewer Special – A crispy plate of beer-battered cod served alongside Cajun fries, house tartar sauce, and a bright lemon sofrito.
Note: Both savory dishes are appropriately served on a medical-grade surgical tray.
Brain Freeze – A decadent dessert combining ube gelato, mango gelée, chocolate feuilletine, tart raspberry sauce, cocoa nibs, and a sharp chocolate shard, served inside a souvenir science beaker.
The Umbrella – A refreshing, dangerous cocktail mixing tequila, pineapple-thai chili syrup, fresh lime juice, and grapefruit soda, meticulously garnished with a “rotten” pineapple wedge and a miniature cocktail umbrella.
The outbreak officially begins tomorrow, July 9. Head over to Universal Horror Unleashed to secure your admission before the city goes into total lockdown!
