RE: Howl-O-Scream 2017

So has anyone heard anything as far as rumors or actual information concerning the event. Because its odd we haven't had anything teased in part considering how early their marketing campaigns have been as of late.

In a long line of shows that try to pass themselves off as, "theater," Fiends is in a class of tacky, trashy, unoriginal, and terrible unto itself. Saying its loss would not be any loss at all would be an understatement. Frankly it would be a gain.
 
RE: Howl-O-Scream 2017

First, about time we heard from the park concerning HOS i was waiting in anticipation on something major. Second, does the Burning of Bitten also mean that vampire Point is gone as well or are they going the leave the decorations up like they did with the Ports of Skull when that bit the dust.

About two weeks or so ago I posted this:

A little birdie has reported that Bitten will not return this year. Expect a new house in this area of the park for 2017.

Note that I didn't say a new house should be expected to take Bitten's place (I don't want to comment one way or the other on that issue just yet). I did, however, confirm that a new house would be making its debut in this area of the park (Oktoberfest).

Why that very specific wording? I've been told over and over again now that there will be a house located inside DarKastle this year. Either there is an impressively potent plague of misinformation inside the park right now, or we will have a very interesting new house for 2017.

That would really surprise me. Shutting down a major attraction? It's not like we are talking about the bumper cars. I think it would be really cool, but can't believe the park would do that.

Reportedly DarKastle ridership is low during Howl-O-Scream and that is part of the justification.

Can confirm: new things await guests for HOS. Of course, nothing is in stone yet. I have high hopes for this season!! Might turn out pretty awesome

Sweet.

But.

HOW can you confirm?  WHAT are you confirming?

Well yeah besides the Bitten news, something else to the Festhaus area will be added..... and I hear even more new things to come to New France. But like I said really until the park says it,anything can change.

According to the BGW Auditions page, looks like Fiends will be returning despite being rumored to get the axe. Night Beats, and Monster Stomp are returning as well.

I wonder if they can put those there to mislead people. I have been told vehemently several times that Night Beats is gone. Also, whatever anyone thinks of Fiends in general, the park seems to be locked in a tight situation with that one. Even if the entire show was/is terrible, the nurses have proven to be a huge sales point just like they are in Tampa. They have supposedly been trying to get rid of Fiends for years, but they seem to have given up. It's there to stay whether they like it or not.

Fiends in Williamsburg was literally so close to being cancelled that Marketing sent out a letter to fans saying as much. It was decided last minute that the show would stay because alcohol sales were too high to not bring it back. Whether or not you like the show, you have to admit it's quite an evil one because of that. ;)

It would be awesome if the park introduced a Steampunk themed maze for a possible replacement of Bitten. Then again, They would have to find a theme for a new show/terror-tory to go along with it, so its very unlikely that it will happen.

I love how eager the park is to announce this fact. I am very excited about the rumors circulating around this house.

Hey I built that coffin.
 
RE: Howl-O-Scream 2017

I enjoy Fiends because it is corny and fun. I am glad to hear it is returning.

If Bitten is gone and DarKastle is used, what are they going to do with the Bitten Building?
