Howl-O-Scream 2019

[DRIFT]

And HOS is one of my favorite Halloween events ever so to see it like this triggers me.

I think the Royal Palace Theater needs a new house. Spark isn't exactly taking up space back there, right?

I loved Catacombs, so going along those lines... Maybe a haunted french Chateu ala No Vacancy? (Bonus points if it used flashlights)

Or a French revolution themed house in which you are the bourgeoisie.

 

[DRIFT]

I like where your going...

Technically it's 5 mazes in one area. But I agree they need to spread the houses out. Having Circo and Dystopia at the front of the park, and then the other houses in Oktoberfest is just not smart? I understand that there's room back there for all the houses, considering they gutted darkastle for this. But, I like being able to walk around the park and go "hey there's a house let's do it." Instead it's feels like they're forcing you to stay in Oktoberfest.

Honestly though, Lumberhack doesn't work as it is because it's been reversed and is telling the story backwards, and it's not a house that can do that. But I find that otherwise it has a a season or two left before leaving.

In talking with contacts who work there it seems that the park realized their mistake and has 0 intention of it doing the same thing again. I'm told that Culinary, Merchandise and Park Ops all said that it was too much in one area and that it had negative effects on their locations by making it so that people didn't want to wait in another line in between mazes for food or merch and it created a scenario where the majority of people were in Oktoberfest. Because of that they were not doing as many things in other parts of the park.

I’m just throwing this here, what if they did a mythical creatures themed scare zone?

Or even better a house, with puppets

That's good news. The houses need to be spread out. It gives you a reason to move around the park. I hated that the majority were lumped together. It definitely made the lines longer.

You mean you didn't like Mr. Carver and his upcharge escape room as a mascot?

(I'm still extremely salty. I want my doll based house bgw. I feel owed this.)

Mentioning a theatre got me thinking...probably a limited audience for the backstory... A haunted theatre inhabited by the "ghosts of BGW shows past". They're coming back from the dead "for one last performance". Pieces of old sets, ghosts in old costumes, eerie renditions of songs....

I’d be all for a Sesame Street house...

 

[DRIFT]

Ireland needs its own scare zone,and they should close battle for eire so they can put a house there,it wouldn't kill them to do that,and that pathway where the birds are and the pet shenanigans to Ireland deserves a great scare zone,its one very spooky place at night.

 

[netdvn]

They just need to figure out a way to hire more actors.

That and bring set design back to Bitten and Catacombs level. The current crop of mazes is lacking in the set department.

They won't close BfE for a maze like they had in the past for EITA. It's too new of an attraction and the only indoor ride during HOS.

I agree though they should do more in Ireland as far as scare zones

 

[snowman6996]

I think they stopped doing scare zones by the bird aviary because the slope was too steep. People running and falling

 

[The Quist]

Ireland used to be one of my favorite places to hang out at HOS, but the last 3 or 4 years it has been worthless at night. They should do a banshee theme if its a scare zone, or make it a party zone.

 

[netdvn]

Ireland is already a party zone.

 

[The Quist]

I realize it is considered a party zone but it hasn't been a good party zone for years. It needs a theme overhaul or a refocus because it used to be a fun hangout spot.

 

[Applesauce]

I imagine once Fiends leaves, that area will get a retheme. Considering they've been slowly scaling back the nurses.

 

[Sly4Good]

Let's retheme Ireland to my junior year dorm -- there's a horror story waiting to be told.
