Looks like the revamped houses were announced today. Killarney Diner, Death Water Bayou, and Lost Mines are coming back, kinda expected.

So BGT announced a new Viking-themed scare zone called Ragnar’s Wrath…Invadr. Is. Right. There.

 

[Mushroom]

To be fair, BGW’s attempt at a Viking themed scare zone to tie in with InvadR, Axe Alley, was super mediocre.

If I had a dollar for every “condemned” tag, I’d have like… 10$..

The wording for Death Water Bayou sounds interesting. It makes it sound like this is going to be its last season, especially the last part.

“… The flame of death burns ever brighter from above, and the Voodoo Queen's desperation for her final sinister sacrifice reaches a horrifying climax.”

These seem SUPER generic as house themes. Hopefully they’re decent.

Monster Manor gives me vibes from the monsters they would have in the Ireland area years ago.

I'm personally hopeful for Monster Manor, however I find it concerning that Clown Town doesn't even have walls yet.

Monster Manor seems like an original take on the story of Frankenstein and I applaud the attempt to produce something somewhat fresh. Hopefully it pays off.

So these are replacing Witch of the Woods and Nevermore, right? Is Clown Town going to be completely outdoors like WotW? Manor suggests an enclosed building?

I believe Clown Town is back behind the DarKoaster building, like where you had to walk through to get to WotW a few years back.

Looks like a the infrastructure you’d see at a local pumpkin patch’s haunted house. Expectations are low for this one.

But, I’m always up for being pleasantly surprised.

If this is its final position, they better do LOTS of scenic to justify... this. This feels like Walmart-brand Circo Sinistro. Wishful thinking, but I hope it gets moved into where Witch of the Woods/Lumberhack were. Doubtful, though.

It's 100% the final location.

Back in May of last year, Busch Gardens Williamsburg filed paperwork with James City County requesting permission to build an absolutely enormous special event and storage facility on the former site of the park’s Festhaus Park-adjacent greenhouses. This addition, as we understand it, was...
