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

First of all, you admitted to what you like on the forums before, you made that very obvious (for god sake you pulled your name from a pop song). You also seem to indicate that if I don't like bouncing around on a dance floor like an epileptic octopus doing a mating dance that I hate fun like some Care Bear villain. Some people like dancing, great, don't go to a theme park because it's not the place for it. The park isn't equipped for that kind of activity so whatever does happen would be watered down to the point where there would be no point when in reality there's a club or bar every thirty feet in Hampton Roads.

The (very limited) money used for the DJ, song licencing, and whatnot would better be making the event more immersive instead of snail repeats. Not to mention that park could come out and say, "Demons are dancing the night away, here's some crap you hear on the radio." That would actually bring out people to twerk the night away. It's also a lot more complicated for the park to do when it comes to cryptic messages. Unless the park wanted to do some viral marketing like before, but considering this would be the only thing that is up for interpretation it would make no sense for the park to go, "We'll be 100% honest for all this stuff besides Demon Street where we'll throw them a surprise dance party! We're marketing geniuses!"

I was talking to my buddy, a scareactor, and I heard that he's gonna be a chainsaw guy. Now, last I checked, none of the Terror-Tories are themed up with chainsaws... *GASP* could it be, unannounced scare zones that we haven't heard of?

Demon street DJ? I'd do alot of light industrial music, rock and metal.

alot of industrial sounds like evil dance music... It'd be different. Made a thread about it.

Just using them as examples of what the park "appears" to be going for. I expect male nurses to within the next 5 years.
Remind me to change my "Home Park" option to Kings Dominion when that happens...:s

...unless you mean Rory, but he was trapped in the past by an Angel.

Why is having male nurses so bad? We have 9 female nurses, and 1 male who would be classified under the "sexy" collum with them. (using last years cast)

I think there should be male nurses to even out the playing field if anything. Hell, even adding them to sell alcohol. I love the nurses, I really do, but I would like to see some balance between the eye-candy for men as well as women. (Or vice versa, or even both, if you're into it.)

It's just not really fair and rather sexist. Because it's so okay in our society to have objectified women. But the moment you objectify men, suddenly people start crying foul.
 
RE: Howl-O-Scream 2013: Fear Has a Way of Spreading

I'm lazy so I skimmed through most of that. So their will only be scare actors in the haunted houses?
 
RE: Howl-O-Scream 2013: Fear Has a Way of Spreading

I think their will be maybe 2-3 scareactors in each Terror-tory but that's just me.

I wasn't crying foul; I was crying "ick."

In all seriousness, because men tend to be more visual than women, and on average, men are more interested in looking at hot women than vice versa. I even heard somewhere that gay men tend to be bigger consumers of things like Playgirl than straight women.

I know for myself, I have zero interest in hot, male nurses or whatever. Greasy male stripper types gross me out, too. Sexiness is too tied up in things other than the male equivalent of cleavage, at least to me.

Now, you get Capt Jack Harkness to serve me shots, and we can talk...

Also, please note that I didn't support the female nurses either. I think the whole thing is puerile, and much more worrisome for the park than a 20th cen show in the Globe Theater, actually.

I think it would be foolish to have no scare actors in the "Terror-Tories"

Hey PR, IMHO, if you're gonna name them "TERROR-tories", they oughta be pretty frightening.

It's just a name. It was something that they probably tried to mix a word concerning an area and mixing it with the Halloween theme. Names don't always mean what they mean. For example, is a maze really a maze? Not necessarily, it gets mixed with haunted house all the time.

I was speaking in general terms when it comes to crying foul.

I really don't want to open a can of worms, but I think that's part of the problem. women as a whole, are interested in looking at their preferred gender, but are then told not to voice their opinion on it.

I have little interest in greasy men as well, or what most women consider "sexy". But there still needs to be more of a balance on that stage or out in the area, as far as nurses are concerned.

And I figured you were against the nurses, but it was just something that bothered me as a whole, and I felt like it needed to be a general statement. I'm sorry for any confusion.
 
RE: Howl-O-Scream 2013: Fear Has a Way of Spreading

I'm still excited about HOS anyway it's something new to try and do, and since I worked HOS in Tampa, maybe the DJ is way to get people to interact more and than purchase more drinks be it alcohol or non alcoholic. Maybe since I seen lots of post about budget cost and what nots maybe these new terror Tories is a way to attract a new audience to see what HOS at BGW can offer and this may help increase money for them to do future plans. It's just my opinion but too maybe this also is a way to bring in that area away to keep children away and maybe not. I'm not gonna knock it until I try it type of person, I'm anxious and excited. I guess some people want new and change and others don't but I can't wait for real. So I hope everyone don't think I'm offended or directing anything at them I just can't wait. So hope to see you all there who knows maybe we can all jump on the dance floor and BOGGIE DOWN. I know you can't please everyone but some wanted new and change and now it's happening kinda, they are maybe against it. My sarcasm here: maybe the demon street is about KK going down in flames, sorry I had to say it. Well hurry up September 13th because THE HOUSE OF VAYNE'S Suka Vayne can't wait to whats instore for HOS

THIS! Double THIS!!

Wow! This thread has been blowing up my E-mail alerts today. Some of y'all are taking this WAY too seriously. Might, might, might be really bad. Relax guys & gals. It's gonna be OK. That being said...

[sarcasm]
I, the Almighty chickenking, offer my services as the first BGW male nurse. Got my pink wig and everything ready to go. More than a few ladies have found CK sexy (as well as a few guys too...Grooowwwwlll) You can buy my Jell-O shots and whatnot in the Wild Reserve by the 'keets. :p

And that's just for starters. I shall be leaving my baby girl at home so as to be a responsible parent and not scare some of you. I will also be offering my services at closing time as designated driver on the tram. Yes, there will be a demonic rapper/DJ featured...wait for it...Tech N9ne!! As well as Rob Zombie playing VERY LOUD. I highly recommend the tram ride to your personal destination as it will be a BLAST!! There won't be any interactive pasta stations, but it will feature complimentary ADULT GRILLED CHEESE for everyone, along with plenty of rum to keep the YO HO HO going all the way home. Be aware, your host/driver may have had a few himself, so cut him some slack if the tram swerves a little bit. Bring your own turkey legs. :cool:

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

To set the record straight, I am reserving my final judgement until the very last day of Howl-o-Scream. At the moment, my current opinion stands as this: I am interested in the concepts so far.
