Makes it easier than going all the way back. Also, I would say as long as you keep moving from house to house, you should be able to get then all. Just don't stop for a beer or anything lol.CastleOSullivan said:
Howl-O-Scream

I haven't really seen an answer for this anywhere but it's probably out there. I know the media trailer for Unearthed was filmed in Tampa, but which park is championing this house? Or is neither taking a lead over the other and working in a partnership or is it an afterthought for BGW and Sea World?
That app no longer is with the forum. And is (most likely, I've never had it) vastly outdated at this point.Malsdad said:

Tampa almost always takes the "championship". In order of influence; Tampa > Williamsburg > San Antonio. That being said, about half of the story was contributed by Williamsburg. Tampa doesn't really have any trees in the area around the house, however, they are doing construction work nearby. Earlier I mentioned that Williamsburg (and also SWSA I assume) will be borrowing Tampa's "venue flow" format. That format ensures that an entire story is told, regardless of the space you put it in.
So far, Tampa's biggest advantage is that what you see in the commercial is essentially what you will get. Williamsburg will basically be forced to lengthen the experience, due to the long, narrow corridors. That is why Williamsburg is putting a bigger emphasis on summoning past evils. They need more filler, whereas Tampa will probably get straight to the point.
I actually think it will even out between Tampa and Williamsburg, but San Antonio is a bit more doubtful.
So, Going this Saturday. The bring a free friend ticket saved me $77 dollars. Im satisfied so far, im still debating if i should eat in park.
On Saturday i will be posting photos all day on my social media accounts, for more current photos it would be on my Snapchat. Later ill post some here on the forums, and so on.

What I have seen from Tampa's Unearthed experience looks promising. There seem to be about different categories of characters. They had archaeologists at the beginning that use a clipboard scare just like in Windego Woods. There were a few creatures that looked very cool. Also, they had victims, most of which were missing eyes. Then they have the icons, which I don't know much about yet. If Williamsburg uses any of this, it will be a great experience.
Williamsburg hardly EVERS does details like Tampa, Tampa is at a higher level than Williamsburg.
Just to add, will the park close if it's a washout Saturday, i still plan on going reguardless rain or shine. I know for a fact if the mazes outdoors are flooded,they will be closed.
I believe this is because it is a premier event for Tampa. Tampa has to compete with Halloween Horror nights and the like. From a business standpoint they cant come at it half-assed. Because i would think they need to be on the same level if not above Universal. To make any kinda money on an event like that. BGW is a different entity altogether. Yes they compete with KD during Haunt but neither event is meant to really compete with a thing like Halloween Horror Nights( not that HHN is better by any means, i have never been so i cant say that but i would think with a company like Universal people expect more.) Now i think from a setting standpoint that in some cases BGW, doesn't need a ton of detail if they just better used the natural settings they have. Hopefully Lumberhack uses this well. Being in the dark in the woods can be scary enough if you know how to use it wisely. Im still really excited to see what this year brings. No its probably never going to be as detailed as Tampa. But in some cases i dont think it really has to be(even though id like it to be )Preston said:
Deadline is probably the closest we will get to Tampa quality for a while. Although Oak Island helped with that one, it didn't have the signature cheap/random look of some of their other products. I think Oak Island does a great job with helping the park set up events, but I think it would be great if the park could break free of them for designing houses.
Tampa used them for a long time, but breaking away from them, and getting other vendors to work with the park was a major turning point for Tampa. I don't know if Williamsburg designed the new houses mostly in-house or not, but if they did, then they can slowly break away from relying on one contractor. I think this could be the best thing to happen here, but it could take a while for them to build up the quality enough to split ways.

The company helps them set up for pretty much all of their special events. They are great at helping the park with planning an itinerary to get everything set up in time. Busch Gardens almost always gives them the initial design, but they help to set it up, and they often try to sell some of their products on the side. That, in my opinion, is where the problem lies with Howl-O-Scream. For example, most of the houses probably wouldn't have so many problems with random dangling objects, such as camo netting, if that company wasn't so insistent on selling the park things that they don't need.
Tampa used to use them for Howl-O-Scream. Now, they only use them for Chritmas Town. Tampa contracts a variety of outside vendors. The overarching vendor that they initially chose gives less restrictions than Oak Island as to being able to find the best deals. That led to them being able to give the contract to the highest bidder for different elements in each house.

Here are some photos a friend sent me from the park and allowed me to share. I plan to go to the park later to get more photos with my camera.

So Oak Island is responsible for all of that burlap sack to the face I get inside the mazes. Curse them!! I'll stop blaming BGW now
