Oh wow, and the sand wasn't a problem? Glad to hear you guys got through all the houses!

Wheelchairs may have to take a separate path. Someone mentioned they were directed around the sand, maybe? At Cornered instead of going through all the cornstalks, wheelchairs are directed a straight path out avoiding the narrow cornstalk maze.

My guess is they may have the Bitten house be a dressing room for the casts in the houses/terrortories instead of sticking them in tents again. Don't know if they have the budget to turn it into another house with Frostbite making its debut, along with a possible new terrortory.

I would love it if they turned Bitten into an up-charge house like "Alone". They could make it very personal by "locking" you in one of the cages at the end for a few seconds while thirsty vampires claw at you until a passageway opens.

I don't really want more up-charge attractions, but I think this would be much more fun than No Escape.

I agree. And personally I just don't like people touching me so thirsty *anythings* trying to get at me is terrifying.

I think it's time for some Terror-tories changes; Wendigo Woods needs to go, Demon Street and Vampire Point either need to go or get a reboot.

You just named two of my favorite terror-tories; I think you need to go ;-P

Your choice of favorite terror-tories is disturbing. Haha

Do you guys see a new InvadR-esque Terror-Torie happening or do you think that would have already been announced by now?

While I would absolutely love to see something like this happen I doubt it as most of the parks PR statements regarding HOS bring up things like "experience our new haunted house" found in one of the pass member emails or in the PR statment about HOS 2017 claiming "A different kind of chill is coming to Howl-O-Scream® this year at Busch Gardens® Williamsburg."

It almost sounds like this is the final line up which isn't super surprising because usually every couple years we see a major change and then we have years like this year where only one new attraction is announced. Also, I feel like it may be because this will be one of the largest if not the largest space BGW has been able to work with meaning that they need to put all there attention into this attraction.

I still say, as we discussed pages and pages back, that a Scandinavian-themed terror-tory would be amazing. Trolls and whatnot? Heck yes.

Also, where *is* Hummel Boy?

I have heard many rumors that there is a Viking Terror-tory replacing Wendigo Woods, although I wouldn't bank on it yet, personally. Plans tend to change very quickly with Terror-torries. Demon Street, Vampire Point, and Sideshow Square are all good examples of ones that changed, sometimes in the weeks of construction.

I recently asked a long-time shop keeper in Germany about it, and she said it was sold (I forgot for how much, but it didn't seem like much) and is in Maryland now.

I hope he's happy. And thanks, that's interesting to know. I would have thought the park would have their plans ironed out well ahead of time and stick to them!

Fair enough....yes those things would be terrifying. But what would BG do to make them scary? Let's be honest, they wouldn't be burning villages or staging rape scenes in the park.

I believe the park once staged an entire scare zone on the premise of angry Scots in Heatherdowns. I think it was called The Moors, and the fear factor was simply the rage of the unruly brutes. I guess angry Vikings wouldn't be much more of a stretch.

That said, for a Scandinavian scare zone, I would prefer a troll theme, like Merboy suggested. That would be epic.
