Well from what we've heard...

RE: Howl-O-Scream 2011

If I was laying bets, I'd say that Bitten will be returning. 3 out of the 5 houses are new already, I doubt they'll build a 4th new one.
 
RE: Howl-O-Scream 2011

The fact that they added another Scare Zone might mean that Festhaus Park will be available for complete use by the time of Howl-O-Scream
 
RE: Howl-O-Scream 2011

^ I highly doubt that. Last I heard, they were behind schedule on the 2012 construction because of all the terrible rain we were having.

Anyone think they'll end up putting Movies of the Macabre back into Ristorante della Piazza as a filler? I really enjoyed having it there- it was an excellent way to set the mood for the rest of the park during Howl-O-Scream.

I would be shocked if it is not a live show. They put a good brass show back during regular season and I would be willing to bet the better part of those performers and transferred over.
 
RE: Howl-O-Scream 2011

Considering that there is only 3 Shows, them all being live is highly likely.

However, they are bringing back some of the fan favorites. I hope they bring back The Sleepy Hallow house back, but I doubt it will happen.

So what are we expecting in the cursed area? Clowns? Like a fair theme? Any ideas?
 
RE: Howl-O-Scream 2011

Bitten... Again? Please, no, just no... Great themeing... but Horrible, just plain horrible house... Too bright, very little scares.


They need to address the lighting issue... It needs to be darker because your eyes have time to adjust to the darkness while walking aroung the park at night and being outside. Only house that was effectively dark enough was Catacombs....
 
RE: Howl-O-Scream 2011

I believe that Hunted had pretty good lighting in it last year. It wasn't to bright like Bitten. I just thought when they decided to do Bitten and Hunted it was because of Twilight. So I didn't really find it very creative. I mean the house was cool and themed very well but vampires just don't scare me like clowns and chainsaws.

I agree, Bitten was probably the best themed house, but i didnt jump or get scared once. And their was always so many people in it at once it was just a big line all the way through.

^ I'm thinking that because they'll only have one house back there this year, stacking won't be anywhere near as bad as it has been in past years.
 
RE: Howl-O-Scream 2011

I think it was too dark in catacombs because my step mom got lost in the part where that weird shrieking noise was.
 
RE: Howl-O-Scream 2011

There are two was to go near the end of the maze. Instead of exiting by taking a left you can go straight then take a left than another left then a right to exit. Each path uses the same exit.
 
RE: Howl-O-Scream 2011

I hated the two different paths thing. I can understand having the shorter one open when they have less staff and the longer way open when the house is loaded, but randomly switching between them is just a waste.

It actually worked great from what I remember when I went through it. They would send the bottlenecking groups one way and the other the other way. Made it a ton easier to relieve traffic.
