While this might not mean anything, the BGW HOS site is down. Usually, when the site is down changes our being made. I would make sure to keep an eye on the site.potvin1990 said:
EDIT:The site has been updated with a new background theme of wallpaper with splotches of blood which is the same background theme as Tampa. Also, to view some of the haunted house descriptions requires a username and password if you click on the title after clicking on haunted houses. I'll continue to keep everyone updated as more of the site is put online.

Guess not so sure yet. But bitten is getting old and boring. So is catacombs.
I find this really interesting but the home page has still not gone online. All the other pages are up but unless you find the other pages from the site elsewhere such as the F&Q page.
You can't pull up the HOS site from the BGW site. Also, one difference between the Tampa site and the Williamsburg site is beneath Busch Gardens Howl-O-Scream it says Evil Encore whereas on the BGW site it doesn't say Evil Encore.

I apologize for the double post, but the home page has been updated and the theme for 2016 is Evil Encore.
The only noticeable change since the last update is Cut Throat Cove is not listed when clicking on Haunted Houses, although if you pull up the Haunted Houses page Cut Throat Cove is listed. Then again, when you click on the Cut Throat Cove image from the Haunted Houses page as well as the Deadline image you need a password and username to view.

I almost wonder if we could see the removal of all houses that have been there for more than three years. For me, it showed a login for Bitten, Catacombs, and Deadline. Also, Lumberhack appeared as a duplicate of Cornered. Of course, maybe it's just typical issues.
Either way, a lot of houses have been on the chopping block for some time. This year we may have to wait in greater anticipation to see which ones will make it.

Its the option that makes sense can't have a vampire theme if there is no vampire haunted house. the two go together to well.
I don't really agree with that. Even if bitten is gone, I don't know that I've seen any indication that the vampire point zone or the vampire bar are gone. Also, I didn't get any indication that they are replicating blood banquet, just removing it.
I think we saw last year the first indications that new Entertainment VP is moving HOS away from Scott's vision of an immersive dinner theater event, and back towards a traditional haunt. Personally, I really hope this is the case.
If this theory is true, having a campy dinner show, which may really have been about our Forum and Scott, himself, in the middle of a path, really makes no sense, regardless of whatever else is going on in the area.
I would posit that we might see movement away from the not-very-scary Terror-tories, and the introduction of a new approach to path scares. In fact, I think the question of what the park may decide to do on the paths this year may be more interesting than which houses are due for replacement. Historically for me, the environment between the mazes really affects my overall experience. Music, lighting, and anxiety all play a huge role, even affecting my level of fear inside the houses.
Regardless, my main point is that with Scott gone, no one should be surprised to see the demise of his self-involved, pathway blocking, fountain-breaking, musical theater "extravaganza."

I would love to see last laugh industries come back or something similar, if we do get clowns that is. And I hope festa is fully decorated. Only difference is they wouldn't be able to put it in roman rapids que house , but it would have to go in the field.

Can I ask, mostly because I am really confused at this point, what the heck do pirates and clowns in festa have to do with "Blood Banquet" (or however that wretched excuse for dinner theater spelled its name) or any other of Scott's ham fisted attempts at musical comedy?
