Howl-O-Scream 2014

The parks Instagram has posted 3 really dark pictures today. I guess it's their way of teasing the public for HOS. My speculation into these pictures is they make the bottom of a dress or cape when placed side by side. Maybe I'm seeing things, but it looks like they purposely put the pictures up in the order they did. Here is the link in case anyone missed them. http://instagram.com/buschgardensva
It looks like it could be a coat that the rippers would wear. It also looks like Jack's coat.
He's right when you look at their feed on your mobile phone and the three pictures are lined up together it's a black cape type thing, with a red brick background.
Please don't let this be like Tampa. Please don't let this be like Tampa. Please don't let this be like Tampa. Please don't let this be like Tampa. -continues on and on.-Zachary said:

That's what I was thinking. Maybe teasing Ripper Row. Oh let's hope for a Jack themed house! (KIDDING) That should definitely keep the kids in the park after 6.
If they say anything on Facebook or Twitter like "Jack is back!" Someone's going to get fired. Haha
I'm just comparing Tampa's Fiends to our Fiends. They are similar, yet ours looks like nuns going to church compared to theirs. Or at least until last year, when the two shows were comparable.
Tampa's Igor makes me extremely uncomfortable. and I just don't want this "Igor's lounge" to be like something Tampa's Igor would have.

Guys, I think I just caught onto something the park/social media team is doing, and it's actually pretty creative.
About a month ago [Edit: It was really a week ago. Time flies.] someone (who I thought was nuts at the time) posted to the BGW Facebook page about "strange happenings" at the park. This was before Zach's Wendigo announcement. "She" just posted again under the name Amy Malone about 7 hours ago.
The most recent post on the Facebook page is 2 down from Luke's village band pic. The link to Amy's website is here http://accursedoccurrences.blogspot.com/2014/08/strange-and-unexplained-happenings.html
Both her Facebook page and the website "accursed occurrences" were started in late June.
Her most recent Facebook post: I went back to the Busch Gardens to see if I could spot anything out of the ordinary. It took me a while, but as I was walking I found these deep scratches in a tree near the back of the park. I’m not an animal expert, but I’m betting these weren’t made by a Clydesdale. [Picture of claw marks in a tree]
She also posted August 1: "I heard about some sightings of an unidentified creature near a theme park in Williamsburg. It didn’t take me long to figure out they meant Busch Gardens. So, I came to Williamsburg and I’m pretty sure I saw something. Posted it on the blog and am continuing the search " http://accursedoccurrences.blogspot.com/2014/08/theres-definitely-something-in-woods.html " on the BGW FB page.
It also looks like the broken fence picture (posted August 5th by Virginia Park…I mean seriously her name would have to be Gardenia Busch to be more obvious) is part of this marketing as well.
It's nice to see them trying something new (this actually somewhat meets my desire for a Blair-Witch-feel for this new Terror-tory!), but it looks like no one has caught on yet on the Facebook page. If anything, this will be interesting to watch,

You think the park is intentionally damaging things to make it look like there is a real monster in the park just to build up hype for HOS?
Thats so genius they can't possibly be doing that.

My favorite thing? At the end of some of these posts about her friend "Brittany" missing, it's labeled "Wendi's Disappearance".
You just know they were originally going to title it "Where did Wendi Go? Guess they decided that was a bit too obvious.

Okay, Busch Gardens, you have my attention.
This is the coolest thing the marketing department has ever done. I am now standing and applauding, literally.
I'm.
I'm so excited. Please don't let me down BG. I believe in you right now. ; u;
(lmao. The pictures. nice photoshop skills. A+. I'm sorry, they just naturally look bad to me. But it's still A+ marketing. man I'm excited.)

It's weird seeing a blog related to BGW that doesn't have tips for raising kids or herbal remedies.
