Concepts, hhmmm... Are you sure that's the word you want to use?

Yes because as it stands, we don't know anything much about these Terror-tories other than they are over-the-top thematic changes, which is ideally a concept and I am sure they may plan out a lot of great things, but maybe only a few great things will come out of this, therefore their concept maybe amazing, but the finished product maybe less than what is desired.

It gets hyped up every year and it never meets its expectations. Look at all the hype for Root of all Evil last season, it was crap. Worst maze I've ever walked through. Not saying HOS is bad, I'm just done getting my hopes up. I'll decide after I go every weekend
 
Howl-O-Scream 2013: Fear Has a Way of Spreading

Lets not argue and bicker over who killed who, lol, we should be talking about updates!

Ireland has a lot going for it, you can say things just got electrical with the most fiendish executives sitting about. I encourage all to take a look ;)

To clarify: The yellow tubing with lights is strung throughout Ireland and the Killarney Bridge. The executive monsters are in place and Abbeystone Theater features it's gears with ropes.

So, I was looking at the Passmember HOS site and noticed that although the Quick Queues and Tours are all posted, there is no information yet about tickets ("This product is currently not available. Please check back soon.").

I plan to tell my friends that it will cost the normal $50 with my discount, but does anyone know, if BGW is planning to have a HOS special like the 50% offer they are running through this weekend? I just can't think of any other reason for them not to have posted ticket prices yet.

I also just came across this in the FAQ. It looks as if there will be scare actors in the Terror-tories:

What is a Terror-tory?
Terror-tories™ are a completely new concept for Busch Gardens’ Howl-O-Scream®. Four sections of our park, England, Germany, Italy and France, have been transformed in to haunted villages. These highly immersive attractions include dramatic theming and scare squad actors behind every corner. You won’t have to wait in line to go through these Terror-tories because they are a part of the park itself, including themed shopping and dining experiences in each section. The four Terror-tories ready to scare you are:
-Ripper Row® in England
-Vampire Point™ in Germany
-Demon Street™ in France
-Ports of Skull™ in Italy

I find it funny how all those names are trademarked. Especially since they are temporary.

As for ticket prices, I wouldn't worry. The park is extremely slow at something's while quick with others. I am sure they will have some special.

Also the part about themed shopping in each terror-tory will be cool. So I guess instead of just having the one Howl-O-Scream main store they will spread it all through out the terror-tories too. :D

I still think it's going to be a hot mess. thankfully, they'll be bars posted throughout the park to help me enjoy it. :p

Any news on the adult grilled cheeses yet?

Sounds good I find myself a lot of times relaxing with a nice THE LOVE beer from DAS FEST HAUS and people watching, so this will be a great way of not having to go thru a scare zone line. I love to watch people unexpectedly getting scared and this is a good thing I believe and the four terror Tories is unique in that the country is based on a themed type scare in which we are part of the experience instead of just lined up and sometimes missing the scare because they scare actor gets the people up front. So and thinking that this idea is good because what I heard is they hope that with each guest and visit, it will be unique experience in each country rather than just going thru the haunted houses and after one time you know pretty much where the scare is like knowing where each ride photo camera is on every coaster. So I'm ready to immerse myself in this and maybe or maybe not this is what BGW HOS Is gonna be. I have some pics I will post for you guys once I get them filtered.

At the risk of beating a dead horse, here is what the FAQ says about kids:

Is Howl-O-Scream® all day?
No. Busch Gardens® has all of the family-friendly and fun features that it normally has during the day. You can experience the thrilling rides and attractions while surrounded by beautiful fall décor and Howl-O-Scream décor that will come to life at 6 p.m. In addition, you can visit one of our face-painting booths to get transformed into a favorite Halloween character, and your little ones will enjoy taking a Halloween-themed photo with their favorite Sesame Street™ friends. But at the stroke of 6 p.m., the ghouls and haunts come out to play and Busch Gardens becomes a seriously scary place.

Is Howl-O-Scream® suitable for kids?
Maybe not. After 6 p.m., guests are advised to consider the park’s elevated scare factor when deciding to visit Busch Gardens with young children during Howl-O-Scream.

As to ticket prices, lots of local businesses (Wendy's, either Papa Johns or Pizza Hut, etc) have discount coupons. By local I just mean located in the area, not like a local entrepreneur.
