You're pushed off the tram where you get to walk the Psycho House and the War of the Worlds set. I had a pedometer on and it proved that the area you walk is about a quarter of a mile. Then you get back on the tram and go on a route that "hasn't been used in years," even though you can see it's the tunnel used during the day for the Mummy part of the tour. You can even see pictures of the mummy on the side of the wall. You come in a close encounter with the Director and, shockingly, you get away.
The Terror Tram was disappointing. The encounter with the Director was not at all scary. They make it seem like you get to explore the whole entire lot when you barely get to do anything. I liked the idea of being able to get off and explore, but Universal needs to seriously redo it, because I know I was not the only one who did not enjoy it.
I saw a lot of people getting out of the line because they heard terrible reviews of it when others got off. It is important that the terror tram stays open because you get to get off the tram and be close to famous sets. That's very cool and it offers something that competitors like Knott's can't offer.
On the other hand, I hope Universal realizes the ride deserves to be improved. The terror tram is new to Halloween Horror Nights, so I cut it some slack. I hope Universal will keep it around. Perhaps letting tourists explore more or at least make it a bit longer would suffice.
I really didn't like the terror tram, but the rest of the park was pretty good. I saw the show "Carnival of Carnage." Frankly, it was the best thing there. It features these two guys who do really crazy stuff like eat worms, eat fire, and sit on a bed of nails. I saw one of the guys in the auditions, so I was really looking forward to seeing the show.
