There was preliminary plans for a building in the forest between the train tracks and Royal Palace. Nothing came of it.
Howl-O-Scream 2019
- Thread starter Gavin
- Start date
I'd be satisfied enough if the only change made was Cornered being yanked and accounting for it with something in BfE, even though it pains me to lose an outdoor house and not replace it with another. Though I fully understand the argument for indoor houses and more flexibility. Perhaps we could see something really interesting. Rehash of the dark tower or something along those lines?
I'd be more satisfied if something replaced Frostbite as well, but I'm doubtful that will happen. It's too easy for them to leave that up and not worry about it.

Every day that we don't get an HOS announcement, leads me to believe we are going to see this around August 31st.
I see no reason for the land to be unavailable. Vault was originally going to be a one and done to commemorate the 20th year. If that stays the plan it would mean that the old Bitten building would have to be remodeled for s new house which wouldn't make sense if they are planning on knocking it down for prodject 2021 next year. but as Zachary said they could always change their mind and bring it back.
They will not use RPT while they have Twas for Christmas Town. the turn around time is to tight and has caused to many issues getting setup in time to get rehearsals in before opening.
They scratched the building plans when Dark Kassel became free as it is being used to fill that role.
Moving this into the HoS thread to keep f&W on track.Why? If last year was anything to go by, I’ll just be ????????.
Okay but sometimes there's bad actions actors take such as 13's infamous "It's a bat" and Frostbites empty rooms. There's so much there so much bad potential. I'm ready for chaos.
October 13th, 2018 was a record attendance day for Busch Gardens.
For anyone interested, I created a HOS playlist on Spotify.

Its not complete but it has quite a few daytime and nighttime songs from the past few years.

Source? Considering that BGW doesn't post numbers this seems hard to know or verify.
You understand me.
I made a playlist ages ago of all the music I could find for HoS. It just makes me excited for this year's halloween season.
I’m unable to say specifically. However, I have access to all the attendance numbers.
I'm starting to believe we won't see any Howl-O-Scream related news until after the announcement of project 2020. If that happens to be the case, I wouldn't expect any major changes at all.
OKAY BUT IDEA
Howl-O-Scream is spooky. MMXX is themed to Pluto, who is spooky and rules over the spooky underworld of spooks.
This is a match made in heaven. You retheme Circo Sinistro entirely to the underworld, make Roman Rapids into The River Styx.
Spooktacular.

I'm not in Virginia so I can't go try to look at the park but I'm hearing word that significant portions of year down. This should be visible from the train. It seems that cornered will either be rethemed or torn down completely.
I have been thinking the same thing. When there is no announcement until late July/ early August, that usually means not much has changed or been updated.
For 2015, they launched the Unearthed campaign pretty early and teased it for a while. Whether or not you consider that year successful, it did bring a lot of updates and additions and was pretty ambitious.
Same for 2016; lots of push for the theme, which ultimately was not great, but they were trying new things. The updates and teasers were early and often from what I remember. But then in 2017, it was almost a complete rehash of the previous year and they barely promoted it, the first announcement wasn't until late July and it was to bid Bitten farewell. We all felt the lack of planning and thought that went in to that one.
2018 was pushed heavily starting in May, and while I think a little more thought was put into this past year, it was still a huge misstep especially where some of the houses were concerned.
The issue this year is that they technically can't run the same theme since it was the 20th anniversary, although, I swear HOS started in '99. Maybe that is their plan. "Oops we goofed. This is actually the 20th year so HOS XX Redux! Jack is Back... again. And this time, it's for real."

It did start in 1999. Last year was it's 20th season. This year would be it's 20th anniversary. BGW is weird and sometimes they celebrate the number of seasons and other times the actual anniversary.
