Howl-O-Scream 2012 (Old Thread)

RE: Howl-O-Scream 2012 Rumors

I have been told that the maze is being reversed this year. The old entrance is now the exit.

I hate when they do that, with Hunted it made sense because the entrance was after the exit, but with a good house that tells a good story as you walk through, it would just ruin that house. You would loose the story. However, it is not like Bitten had much of a story to begin with.

I think the circle they are talking about is outside the Festhaus where the planter, maypole, and the stupid cows used to be.

I am positive he knows where the bar is located. It is the logistics that he is worried about. How are guests going to order? How are Team Members going to serve? etc.

If BGW did like $40 for Friday and Sunday, that would attract more people.

That's the last thing I want... Fridays and Sundays to be as hellish as Saturdays.

If I'm not mistaken, the minimum order for each design of those pumpkins is 1000.

Well, I do think we can see more pumpkins, as there are wires over ont he other side of the stables as well. There are also wires outside by the entrance to the park. I assume either ghosts or pumpkins will be hung here.

Out of curiosity, how do you know what the minimum order amount is for those specific props?

I'm thinking they bought from China, and I know the company that makes these pumpkins. They installed all the cables already to make Christmas Town installation easy. Not sure if they will actually use them all though.

True. While it may be more crowded on those days, it would save people some money.

RE: Howl-O-Scream 2012 Rumors

Saturdays will always be at capacity. There is no changing that. Fridays will come in at a close second and Sundays will always be close to dead. Yes you could have discounts, specials, and offers but unless you make admission more than 50% off, then they won't make as much of a difference.

Really? Out of going pretty much every weekend last year and sometimes twice in a weekend I would say that Sundays by far were worse than Fridays.

RE: Howl-O-Scream 2012 Rumors

I was at Howl-o-Scream every weekend, every day it was opened. I always felt every day was packed. There was never an empty day except for of course the rained out opening. I say Sundays are the better days to go mostly because even though the crowds are just as bad any other day, they may be slightly better because people aren't staying up as late because people have work/school, etc. Even then Sundays seemed pretty packed, along with Fridays. Saturdays were just nightmares.

RE: Howl-O-Scream 2012 Rumors

I went 5 times last year, 4 Fridays and 1 Sunday. Sunday was by far worse, Friday is deffinately the best day to go. I never had to wait in lines long. The Sunday I went was almost as bad as Saturdays

RE: Howl-O-Scream 2012 Rumors

I always thought Sundays weren't so bad with work/school on Monday.
I have no season pass but may get one next year.

 

[redsoxfan787]

RE: Howl-O-Scream 2012 Rumors

Well the Sunday I went, was also the last day they were open. So that might've played a big role for the crowd

RE: Howl-O-Scream 2012 Rumors

^ I can see the last day being it on a Sunday being crowded. The previous Sundays not so much. Just saying.

My experience says otherwise.

The last weekend Friday and Sunday are level and near capacity. I was there the last Friday with Swift last year and it was stupid packed.

Hey guys I was just thinking about the theming inside of Verbolten for HOS. I remember a while back someone saying that the theming would be different for HOS. Has anyone heard anything about that?

RE: Howl-O-Scream 2012 Rumors

As far as I know, nothing's changing so far. Maybe we'll find out this weekend.

It would be neat if they played the lady of the gardens music in there, and instead of the spirit talking to you, it was her

RE: Howl-O-Scream 2012 Rumors

Something is happening. The extent of what that something may be is the question.

RE: Howl-O-Scream 2012 Rumors

In relation to HOS?

I have a funny feeling that it it won't be anything to write home about. But this ERT on verbolten this weekend may preview this, seems like something they could get done in 4 days.
