Saw final sketches of all the characters and their costumes yesterday. Includes Jack the Ripper, Mary Jane, skeletons, demon, whore, shadow, headless mourner, and Victorian woman.
Also heard from Entertainment that the last scare fair before yesterday only had about 75 people show up.
It was very busy yesterday, but I didn't hear a total body count.

One of three original. One from mix it up and one from out of state.
I'm on drumline for my school, and one of my instructors told us that he used to be one of the drummers that played in MSR. He played on the drums with water on top and the lights below. That's pretty cool, I think.
I love how when Busch puts stuff up way too late, everybody complains, and when they actually take initiative and get ready early, everyone is like "huh?What is this sorcery?!" It could be so they can have more time and more manpoower to put together wendigo woods.
Let me preface this whine by saying that I think it is great that BGW is already setting up for HOS.
That said, the transition from Porno Nights directly to HOS got me thinking. When was the last time we saw BGW not in some stage of an event -- set-up, on-going, take-down? In other words, when was the last time we saw the beautifully-themed park without random overlays and glittery decorations?
Honestly, if SEAS really is having financial trouble, why don't they save money in the summer and give us back the Old Country for a few months?

It's unfortunate, really. Food and Wine really isn't a far cry from normal BGW, at least not when compared to Illuminights. I have no idea if San 'Murica was successful, but at the very least I hope it manages to stay confined.
That being said, it's a very good thing that they're starting early. It looks like they might have learned their lesson.

Glockenspiel has started disassembly over night.
So no one will have to look at the broken bits, until next year? I guess that should make everyone happy? Maybe they will fix it in the meantime?
You have about 6 months to fix those figures Busch Gardens, before they have to be put back in. They better be fixed next year.

Yes... Yes... Let the hate flow through you!
Feel the full power of the dark side!

Go back to classical music in England? You mean get rid of the obnoxious psychedelic theming and go back to emphasizing Ye Olde Architecture? Unthinkable! Who would ever enjoy a serene environment like that? It's not as if that's where people draw their first impression of the park or anything...
Actually, I specifically am suggesting that the park not sink money into a pointless summer event. The issue of retheming BC is a completely different discussion.
I'm sure all of you have seen this already but for those of you who haven't, the new HOS14 map was updated and now has new wooded areas for Cutthroat Cove and Root of Evil. Nice little touches.

The ROAE woods design was always there but the CTC one is new. Looks nice.
Every light I've looked at today has been replaced with their HOS counterpart.

Maybe if we're lucky while London Rocks is nonexistent during Howl-O-Scream they will switch back to the classical music during the day.
