Is admission to HOS included with the season pass? I went in to look at something this morning and it said my passes were expired, but we got them in April.

Yes, HoS is included with your season pass. If the site is saying your pass is expired I would call the park and get it sorted. I had to do that a month or two ago when I last went because my card expired and the auto-draft didn't go through. The pass wasn't truly expired but the site said it was simply because a payment was missed by a day or so.

Ok, phew!!! I was freaking...calling now.
 
One question: is is an annual pass or a Fun Card?

If it is the former, then yes, HOS should be included. If it is the latter, then no, I do not believe you can use it pas the end of the regular season.

It's an annual pass...I just called and all is good :) I forgot I got a new chip card, so the old one didn't work when they put the payment through.

I'm glad i checked, I would've been mad if we got to the gates next friday and couldnt get in!!

Sideshow Square - NEW Scare Zone

Your jaw will drop on your way to the big top. What was once only in your imagination is now a frightening reality full of haunts, curiosities and plenty of scare to make you shriek. So step right up to the new Sideshow Square™ terror-tory™ at Busch Gardens® Williamsburg’s
Howl-O-Scream®.

As the Terror-Story Goes ...

The circus is in town. Do you dare to step right up? Consider that question carefully, because curiosity could spell doom. A gruesome scene lies ahead, and the journey there is full of fright.

Sideshow Square is crawling with creepy circus wannabes who elicit screams loud enough to muffle the horrifying groans coming from the three-ring nightmare nearby. Weird windup dolls, menacing mannequins and crazed clowns are only a few of the terrifying oddities that occupy these scary spaces.

These repulsive rejects may not be in the big show, but that only tempts them more to fill you with complete horror.

A ruthless ringmaster, in a spine-tingling gravelly voice, urges guests to “Come one, come all.” The truly brave may be tempted, but they’d be wise to follow his directive with caution. Those in search of fun will find only stun for all ages. Perhaps the best alternative is to run…for your lives!

Loved the behind the scenes video.

If they have wind up dolls, mannequins, and clowns running the park, my heart will be so happy :D Who else is going tomorrow?!

This is super disappointing, I hope they add more to it as the season goes on! IMO Sideshow Square had the potential to be the best Terror-tory based purely on the fact that Festa Italia lends itself so nicely to a circus/carnival theme... but you have to put in SOME effort.

This, plus the removal of the facades in England, plus the return of the pirate stuff in San Marco (despite that no longer being a Terror-tory) makes me wonder if this year or next will be the last for the Terror-tory concept. It's definitely devolved from the original idea of having very distinct, heavily themed and decorated hamlets... as it is now it seems like they are increasingly moving towards just kind of putting up what decorations they have wherever they can work them in. Can someone with a better memory than me recall- what has the standard lifespan been for Howl-o-Scream themes (by that I mean things like "scare is everywhere," roaming hoards etc. rather than mascots like Lady of the Gardens, Jack is Back) in the past? And what year of Terror-tories are we on now?
