Event Howl-O-Scream 2014: Cursed

[Party Rocker]

Looks like Howl-O-Scream at SeaWorld will follow the same theme as both Busch Gardens parks, but that's not all their sharing.

SeaWorld is also taking on the Terror-tories concept. They will be creating their own Ports of Skull, Vampire Point, and Demon Street among others. They also have their own Pirate Bar. If you look closely, most of the pictures on the website are pictures of Howl-o-Scream at Busch Gardens Williamsburg.

They are also getting the hours that BGW seemed to try to implement this year by staying open until 11PM and Midnight.

Anyone been? Plan on going? Thoughts on all the shared things?

I'll be going this year. I'm thinking the fact that they're staying open later may help them this year since Six Flags also has Fright Fest, but it's usually only open until 9 or 10 every weekend. I'm looking forward to going this year to try something new.

I'll be there on Sunday so I'll look out for construction.

Sarah have you been to BGW's HOS last year? If so, could you compare their similar offerings to BGW's? Kind of like their Demon Street versus BGW's.

Well I know they had the Blood Thirsty Bar, a Monster Stomp, and Jack is Back!

I'd like to hear what you thought of them as well Connor.

I'd also love pictures.

Sorry to say this but I don't live in Texas. I live in Richmond, VA. I am on vacation in Texas! But I can still bring you pictures of HOS construction!

The walls for Den of the Departed:Zombie Takeover! Are about to go up. The maze takes place on the concrete pad to the left.

Another picture of the structure for the wall.

The carnival lights are up for Sideshow Row.

While I was waiting in line for Rio Loco on the bridge they had some props sitting back there getting ready to moved.

And some more props sitting by Rio Loco. There was some colorful barrels but they didn't get in the shot because these people were arguing.

Thanks for reading my update and I hope you have a great day on the forums!

Sunday was the last day of Summer Nights which meant the last night of Patio Del Sol.

When we checked on Monday the tables were gone.
Since they haven't released the map I don't know what bar this will be for HOS.

I finally made it to SeaWorld on 10/25 to check out Howl-O-Scream this year. I didn't get any pictures as it was around 8pm when I finally made it over there. I didn't go the haunted houses/forests, or what not as it really didn't interest me to spend $25 for a couple of hours. I did catch Shamu's Rockin' Creepshow, wasn't impressed as it was very similiar to OneOcean, just with Halloween music and the trainers wearing skeleton suits instead of their regular ones. I also watched Jack is Back at the end of the night when the park was closing; it was an okay show, but not something I would have to see again. Overall, I was pretty disappointed with SeaWorld's Howl-O-Scream when compared to Fiesta Texas' Fright Fest.

To be honest, all SeaWorlds should keep the Halloween Spectacular for kids, maybe Aquatica San Antonio should take Howl-O-Scream.
