There is a façade for “Jupiter’s Claim,” a tourist trap that appears in the film.

There appears to be a blood-covered horse statue next to the Jupiter’s Claim entrance.

A wooden fence surrounds the town, followed by a fence covered in a green tarp to block it from guests’ view.

A cherry picker vehicle was parked at the center of the town. Stacks of wood were next to it.

Another cherry picker was just past the entrance. We didn’t see any construction work ongoing when we visited.

“Nope” will hit theaters on July 22, 2022, and is sure to be another Jordan Peele hit, so it’s no surprise that Universal Studios Hollywood may be preparing to incorporate it into Halloween Horror Nights. Watch the trailer for “Nope” below and catch a glimpse of Jupiter’s Claim.

  1. They have been building that for months. I was curious if it was for HHN or something else until I saw the latest Nope trailer last week.

  2. I hope this is for Halloween Horor nights. It looks awesome. It seems like a lot of work though just for HHN.
