Howl-O-Scream 2012 Rumors
I think the big news already is that BG sent out a survey gauging the popularity of a pay event. Interesting idea, it will be worth watching to see how it flies with the pass holders.

I actually hope it becomes a pay event, especially if it gets us Christmas Town free. It is more logical. Howl-O-Scream can be more adults, Christmas Town can be more families (as in it being free for pass holders, more families will go more often). I think it would be best for both events in the long run.

Does anybody have any idea what the logistics of this would be? Would the close the park at a certain time and reopen?
And before anyone gets delusional about this, this would be an EXTREMELY unpopular move with the GP.

Indeed, the details are really important with this, it would also require BG to stay open past 10 in order to let people get their money's worth.

I could deal with that, 6-12 is enough time on a Saturday. Another aspect would be if there's an age limit. If there's an age limit, that would be the best way to get support for it.

I'd take a look at the way Tampa does it. Park is open all day. Hos starts around 7, but you can get in at 5 with a hos ticket. You get a wristband when you go in. After 6 or so you have to leave if you weren't there for hos. If you were there before you just flash your hos pass and get a wristband.
their event goes from 7-1 Thursday and 7-2 Friday and Saturday. Don't know how well their system would work here, but they certainly could draw from that.

There's no way they'd go to 2am on the first up-charge year- it's too much of a risk.

This idea would be a huge blow to passholders. I can't fathom the blowback. Nor do I see any possible reason to justify this. The event is already wildly popular.

I think that right now, we all should just wait to see the details of this. It might just be well worth it.

Sounds like a pretty big gamble to mess around with an event that already could not be more popular, and infuriate half of their season passholders in the process.

They could sell a limited amount of tickets to the event as a way of controlling the overcrowding.
Where did it mention they would give Christmastown for free. That sounded like speculation. Maybe I missed it.

They reached capacity an awful lot during Christmas Town too.
I don't see it as an even swap. Christmas Town has limited hours, limited park space and limited rides. You're losing a lot.
