Do you think because they don't mention them in the press release that the escape rooms may not be returning?
Hopefully all that means is they realize that Demon Street is the fucking worst and will stop attempting to make it scary.
maybe they are planning to isolate and separate the more halloween party areas away from the more scary areas, which would be much better than blending the two.
“New terror torries”. Kind of dissapointed they didn’t bring back Scare is Everywhere. Hopefully Lorikeet will be used, they completely get rid of Demon Street and Sideshow Square. Vampire Point could leave too. Bringing back DarkSide of the Gardens would be the absolute best. A couple more changes such as better staffing management would be solid gold. The staffing as been horrid since the 2015 season. Last year probably had the worst. Now when it comes to the party zones, I’m torn. If they place them in areas that don’t get too much foot traffic such as Ireland, Scotland, etc, I’ll be fine. If they place them in areas such as Oktoberfest, France, Festa Italia, then we’re gonna have some really nasty beef. The only thing I like about people getting extremely drunk is when they attempt to slide on the Oktoberfest bridge on rainy days and fall on their asses. I just hope that they produce an over the top event. If they don’t then I will have lost all of my hope on the Busch Entertainment team.
Its funny most of the people here aren't a huge fan of party zones for haunts. Down here HHN and HOS are full on party atmosphere outside of the scare zones. Hell HOS plays rave music all over the park all night long and the atmospheric music is stuck only in the scare zones and the mazes.
GUYS, the pavilions beside festhaus and behind festhaus are HUGE, and used for legit one day out of the year,(Buffet preview day), The Pavilions have privacy fences separating them from the Germany field, so no project Madrid info would be leaked. Please tell me if I'm wrong but those empty Pavilions seem like the perfect place because the Bitten Queue is gone, and one of the biggest complaints was having to walk down to lumber hack. There is definitely enough room for lumberhack and any other house they wanted between the pavilion Area they used for the queue for bitten and lumber hack and the pavilions that are budded up against festhaus and behind it. These spaces are large enough for houses. Busch has shown that they can turn the tiniest space into a house (Corned) anyway. Has anyone thought of this?
Those pavilions are used all throughout the year for countless group events and act as a huge money maker for BGW.
Additionally, the park isn't the least bit concerned about people seeing the Project Madrid site. Just like with InvadR, the railroad runs straight through it.

Yup I had nasty fried chicken there last year for a ACE event. A few years ago there was a Busch Gardens Gay Days...and there was a Drag Show.
Whatever they do, I have a strong feeling that they will have to find a new maze location, or we might be down by at least one maze. I hope they wouldn't let us go down in number, but especially not by more than one. I doubt they would use the simulator building in Ireland, but that location was always so restrictive anyways with most corridors being so tight.

You enjoy watching people injure themselves. Fascinating...
Group events that use the space aren't super spaced out. They Black Forest Picnic Area actually sees a lot of use.
Anyway, I'm not saying it's impossible, just highlighting an important roadblock the park would have to address.

You know i wouldn't mind if we went down to six houses I've felt that in recent years that with the number of houses and territories it led to the scare actors being overstreched. If having one less house means having better scare actor populations in the mazes then I would be for it.
They said “new mazes”, and new “Terror Torries” pluraly. A possible complete overhaul of HoS? Exactly what the damn event needs.
TRUTH, its the 20th year so an overhaul would be cool.MadridBot said:
They can afford to switch up all the houses if they wanted to.
I'd contend that there isn't money to do it well—which is a totally different issue altogether.
