The chaperone policy returns this year.

Noticed alot of wires with ropes on them over the path vs the normal ghosts at the entrance of heatherdowns. Wonder what were going to see

Maybe pumpkins again?

Was there pumpkins last year? I cant even remember

 

[netdvn]

Nope. Pumpkins were in New France last year

My first thought is it's wires for Christmas lights, as the wires are often hung early in Heatherdowns. The ropes part makes me second guess myself.

I believe they were at the entrance many years ago!

They are not even close to ready for opening. By far the last decor I'd ever seen 1 week from opening.

It’s BGW Entertainment Department in 2026 are you really surprised… The bar has been in hell for a few years now.

Halloween isn't for another 7 1/2 weeks, so they're clearly ahead of schedule.

With Monster Stomp being delayed until October now, I wonder how they'll handle our behind the scenes tour that we booked for that weekend.

 

[cricket]

Happy opening night! I am personally excited for this year, and especially curious of what they've done for Anaconda.

 

[MrBradferd]

Keeping your main show until october is hysterically fucking stupid. Like idk dude. Free event BTW so they get away with that stuff.

Ill be there tonight with a buddy and pretty excited. Keeping expectations super low

Damn, that looks GREAT. Real effort made there!

Looking forward to everyone's updates tonight! I'm down in FL for the opening of SWO's HOS so I won't have anything to add. Hope BGW's opening goes well though!

 

[MrBradferd]

Oh my lord that looks incredible. He actually feels like he belongs there

 

[netdvn]

I considered making next weekend my first visit after a few opening weekends that were duds, but seeing the troll actually might convince me to go tonight.

I'll be at pin trading day tomorrow for sure, but I don't think I'm staying all day

 

[CamisaAnn]

I'm going down next weekend. It will be my first every haunt event at any park. I've set my expectations low because of this thread. But I also have a weekend to go back in October once everything is up and running.

Clown town feels fully realized now. Absolutely amazing updates, had a great run through!
