I Just hope they make it scary... I mean really, that's all I'm asking for yet it seems like im asking too much.
Oh and the scare zones... They all should be like Harvest Hollow, or atleast have as much effort in them as Harvest Hallow. It's easily Comparable to some Scare zones at more High profile parks. I understand building 5 Harvest Hallow areas isnt possible and the budget wouldnt likely allow for it, but the amount of props and scare actors in Harvest Hallow Divided up among the scare zones in the park would be pretty nice...
I just dont understand why BGE Only really places off walk way props and and sprinkling of actors in their scarezones... I always thought the point of a scare zone was to congest or add objects to a path and provide eye catching props and other visual distractions to allow scare actors to move in a crowd and scare people more effectively...
Guys standing around with chainsaws will scare people... But guys popping out of nowhere with chainsaws, or catching you while your staring at the pretty scanner (moving light) on the walkway or that scary looking prop and popping out behind some random uninteresting crate(or other in theme uninteresting object) will scare more people. A little fog and a strobe or two wouldnt hurt either...
Edit: And for the record, I know that the chainsaw dudes last year would pop out from behind walls and doorways, But once you saw it happen a few times, you knew exactly where they were hiding, and they were all on the edge of the pathways... You walk through the middle and keep your eyes on the edges of the path and you werent afraid or scared by the dudes standing in the middle you were good. Had there been props on the pathway and other things such as weird moving lights, A bit of fog, even a strobe set a very low setting they could have improved each area and made it 25x scarier by forcing guest to move around the props and look at them... And I know People are gonna argue that these things would make it so much scarier... But If you are gonna have chainsaw guys out who are gonna scare small children anyway, a few lights and distracting props shouldnt be scaring them any more than the scare actors would be, These things would just be making it easier to scare guest who arent... you know, small children and require just a bit more than a guy standing around in makeup or a mask to scare them....
And and before someone cries budget, If Busch Gardens cant afford a couple of scanners a strobe and a mount or a few crates(or other props like it) painted and garnished differently for each area... I guess that my part time minimum wage making self has more money to throw away on these things than Busch has to INVEST...
