Howl-O-Scream 2011

- Start date
Okay, so I am in middle school and I was wondering if i would get scared in Dead Line or 13. I went through Catacombs and only got scared once, because one of the guys opened one of the little holes on me. I laughed. So i was just wondering i i could handle it. I also went through Bitten and Fear Fair(it was so stupid i went in front of my mom and didn't get scared) Thanks!
I worked the ghost train and it was not scary! If you wrere scared, don't go thru those 2 houses

We cant be the judge to weather you will be scared or not. I have seen people in their 20s get more sacred than kids who are 8.
Has anyone else heard the radio promo's this year? It's about 1:30 long and had me freaked out in the car!
I really don't know what to say to that. I went through most of the houses yesterday and some of the scare zones, everybody I spoke with seemed to think there were more people.

I'm not sure that's true. I saw an TV interview with Phil Rayburn where he said they continue to hire and increase their staff throughout the event to accommodate the increase in attendance.
Was there last night and it definitely felt like the houses and scare zones were more populated than last week.
So went back last night- obviously I was incorrect in my statement- no real way around Stichin Time- which sort of invalidates my entire point about Festa. Carry on.
----------
I did (even with the rain) get to go to all of the houses except for Bitten. I was only able to see Grin/Unleashed/Widow with actors before the rain started and they all disappeared.
Chainsaw guys are the most effective SZ actors imho- Unleashed is not as great, but that is more of an issue with the layout of the zone I think. Grin was meh at best.
Hoping I get to see Scavengers/Stich tonight.
Catacombs is STILL my favorite HH and was the only house I was startled repeatedly. However, I was lucky that I was the first person in my group in the house and didn't get any backups so perhaps thats why.
I really appreciate the effort put into 13/Deadline, but was expecting a bit more (moreso from 13) after all of the compliments it had been getting. I was the last/2nd to last person in both houses so, once again, perhaps that's why. I will say the theming of Deadline was amazing.
I was going to rank Fear Fair higher, but the further we got into the maze, we just stopped moving. I mean I seriously stood in the same spot for 2 minutes. That seems to be the biggest problem with the house.
I don't quite know how I would rank it in my all time HOS experiences, but it's probably close to my top 3.

I went last night, and deadline was the best one there, it felt so real. Bitten is just getting old its the same exact thing, catacombs wasnt as good, none of the scare actors did anything they just stood there, and 13 was good, i never actually got scared it was just set up good. And the scare zones were alot better this year than they have ever been. But i do think they need a lot more scare actors working because there just isnt enough people workin in the haunted houses or scare zones
If you're planning to go tonight, and aren't already there, don't bother. The park just announced that they have hit capactiy, and are closed.
They just reopened.
They just reopened.
^ I think if they're closing and re-opening for attendance, it would probably be too crowded to be worth your while, anyway.
