Howl-O-Scream 2018

[belsaas]

Hey guys. Please excuse me if this has been posted before, but I tried to run a search and nothing came up.

My husband and I are premier members and recently relocated from Williamsburg to the middle of Texas. ? We are flying back in for Howl-O-Scream at the end of October and was wondering if there were any additional pass member benefits being given that month? I’m having a difficult time finding anything online.

Here's everything BG has listed for October.

I'm going to be making my way to the park on Saturday for Howl-O-Scream. I haven't been in a couple of years and I remember last time I went the crowds were downright insane. We plan on splurging for the fast pass especially for the haunted houses. However, I noticed the Howl-O-Scream Eerie Tour that would take you to all of the houses and you'd experience no line. Has anyone ever done this tour? Is it worth it? or would you recommend just getting Fast Passes?

 

[Icer]

It's more expensive by a little bit to do the tour versus the haunted house quick Queues. Unless you want that tour experience, not worth it.

 

[Nicole]

My understanding is that the tour no longer goes behind the scenes, so I struggle to see how it is any better than QuickQueue.

In addition to being completely off-topic, these comments are rude and approaching a rules violation.

Sorry, an obviously poor attempt at humor ?

I have to be in Williamsburg at an unpleasantly early hour for work on Monday, so I've decided to do book a hotel and do HOS Sunday night. I hope to hear from folks going tonight and Saturday that the park has made some major improvements.

Anyone going today? Hopefully it's much better!

BGWFans will be reporting tonight from the park.

Bring a canary into the mazes with you.

I wasn’t here on Sunday, but judging by people’s reports, the decorations have certainly increased. Compared to last year, it’s phenomenal.

 

[Vigil]

I'll be there tonight too! Hoping it's better this week than last, and I'm optimistic now that they had some more time to prepare.

The only thing in the park I’m worried about at this point is Garden of the Souls. I doubt the lack of decorating will be too big of a deal mainly because there’s barely any lights in that area. The centerpiece looks really cool, and I hope the actors no what they’re doing.

 

[Gavin]

I’m here if anyone wants to meet.

 

[Coaster Takes]

Impressive... most impressive. But seriously, the decorating is actually pretty well done. The only lackluster areas are San Marco, and Oktoberfest.

The skull from demon street has been repainted and moved to the Italy stage. I hear there will be a dj there.

 

[Coaster Takes]

Dimented demensions and Vault XX both were amazing. There were some points in both that I almost fell because of how well timed and how well executed the scares were. Staffing is also amazing. Don’t know what busch did, but they did right.

 

[Coaster Takes]

Here’s the deal with frostbite. Once you get into the maze, you aren’t in the maze yet. There’s this excessively long filtering line that is kinda uh.... shit. After that they’ll filter you through two sides. I got the left side, and it had a few good scares, but had very long empty corridors at time. The thing that shocked me was that there was no snow. I’m going to put my foot down and say that the right side probably has the snow. Final conclusion: Half shit.

 

[Ghost of Pretzel Kaiser]

No snow is a good thing, in this case.

Are they busy?
