RE: Howl-O-Scream 2013: Fear Has a Way of Spreading

The scanning is kind've a record to keep track to see how many free refills they give away, I suppose they use that number to determine if the promo is worth it.

Also for you fanatics I have the transcripted audio from the San Marco "Pirate" bridge!

*Yo Ho repeated sung in unison by band a pirates*
A vast ye pirates and black hearted sea dogs!
Many a man has been summoned by the lure of the deep;
and many a man has met his death beneath the dark waters of the endless abyss.
For the sea is a cruel mistress;
and what she claims, she holds on to forever.
Mariners tell tales of phantom ships whose ghostly captain and crew have been cursed to wander the miss shrouded* waves of all eternity.
Other tales tell of sea monsters and sirens, sunken cities and ancient maps the lead to uncharted islands or treasure beyond most men's wildest dreams lay buried.
But these are merely stories;
and the truth may never be told.
For such secrets are known only to the phantoms of the high seas;
and dead men tell no tales.
*Yo Ho repeated sung in unison by band a pirates*

And here is the banners posted:

A vast ye matey
Hoist the main sails
Shiver me timbers
Hang them from the yardarm
Run a shot across the bow
Pillage, plunder, and pluck
Turn back now . . .

On a side note, the clothing hung from the ropes are just old unused/used costumes from the costume department. I read the tags for one of the shirts and it said very faintly, "Busch Gardens Williamsburg - Cursed"

Well the music is direct off a Nox Arcana CD Phantoms of the High Seas (http://www.noxarcana.com/phantoms.html) the particular track is "Dead Men Tell No Tells" which is one of my favorite off that CD, also check out "The Gallows Jig" and "Fate of the Tempest" :)
 
RE: Howl-O-Scream 2013: Fear Has a Way of Spreading

It seems that is the only track from that album they have played, I was trying to search for the other track with pirate fighting and gun shots.

Also, "Pirates" is the most popular song from the album in iTunes, which I recommend the park uses as it definitely is a great song judging from the preview.

But I can confirm, they use "Dead Men Tell No Tells" from the Nox Arcana album, Phantoms of the High Seas.

It's not really a song as much as it is a spooky guy saying the sentences in a pirate voice with background music. But it's not that bad, I wonder if they are going to play it while you wait to get into the House.

The Inoculation Station is being built today, the supporting floor is up, looks very scary to stand on. Good thing they are going to do more to make it look better.

If you look through the wooden wall at EitA you will see the last 'room' put together. Ladders, broken mirror, dead body, etc. Clearly the superstition fear.

That wouldn't get annoying. :p

So excited for the new terror-tories this year. Also all the new themed dining and spirits options. :) Looks very promising. Thanks for all the details y'all found out about it. :D
 
RE: Howl-O-Scream 2013: Fear Has a Way of Spreading

The way that the bridge is decorated, in my opinion, tells me that this is going to be a good year. Hopefully. :)

I can't wait for HOS here at BGW being an employee who worked at BGT I loved HOS especially the no screaming parents complaining about the decorations scared my kids but anyway I m excited and did anyone notice the HOS free refill cup is actually just the HOS rose eye sticker over the red verbolten cups but all good free refills. I m looking forward to meeting some of you and even hanging out at the park with you. Thanks for a great forum you guys rock. THE HOUSE OF VAYNE

Ahhh yes, nothing says pirates more than bamboo, rats and dirty laundry. :angel:

I think it looked fine before, wasn't sure what they were trying to advertise, but it looked half-way decent. Now it looks like "WE MUST SHOVE EVERYTHING THAT'S PIRATE RELATED, EVEN IN A DISTANT WAY, ON TO THIS BRIDGE.... Do you think they get the pirate theme yet?"
 
RE: Howl-O-Scream 2013: Fear Has a Way of Spreading

I don't know why you guys think the bridge is over done? It looks like it is a taste of the Terror-tories. In fact, I believe the bridge is done to pirates because San Marco is the hamlet getting the Pirate Terror-tory. The house may be in Festa, but the Terror-tory is in San Marco, and that is the San Marco bridge.

With that said, this bridge is an example of what to expect with the Terror-tories, theming that completely submerges you into another time and place completely different than the already existing hamlet.

I think they did a great job with the bridge and I hope that we see this amount of theming in the Terror-tories throughout the park.

Also to note, England, Scotland, Ireland, Wild Reserve and Italy have all new lighting in place for HOS. The new lighting is definitely much darker. Last year the weekend before or two weekends before Howl-o-Scream started there were FB complaints that they know the park is getting ready for the event but it was way too dark. I am surprised there aren't similar complaints this year so far. With that said, the park isn't in the dark for too long now that they close at 8pm and 7pm, hopefully the complaints stay away this year?

If /that/ is what to expect for the park's new thing this year, then HoS is already a failure.

Ugh I hate that. What a disappointing ending to a mediocre maze.

What is wrong with being completely submerged into a Halloween based theme for Howl-o-Scream? I mean for years we have been saying that they don't do enough for pathway scares and now they develop an idea to actually submerge you into a theme.
 
RE: Howl-O-Scream 2013: Fear Has a Way of Spreading

Because if the big new thing is only recycled props from defunct attractions and everything new is on the level of the snail, it's not going to be good anyway you slice it. We might be better off with the hordes from last year.
