Halloween Harvest 2020

[Applesauce]

Most likely this means decorations only.

That means they'd actually have to decorate the park. Because in recent years... It's been lacking.

Honestly if it's decorations only, that's fine. I'm sure they could prolly take some props out of houses (not like a wall or something) to make the decorations fuller.

I still want a fall food festival in hos's place though. I want my pumpkin and apple treats.

@Applesauce this is an amazing idea! I would show up for this, in place of HOS. ?

This year would be the third operating season for BFE. Do you all think that it being about 2 years old would call for it to be out of operation for HOS to allow for a house again?

 

[BGW Family]

The shows make HOS for us. A walk thru decorations attraction? Meh, we decorate the inside of our house better than BGW does the park. These days anyway.

Those aren't too hard to find they sit over there all year. Just a reminder that technically that is trespassing going over there.

 

[Mwe BGW]

Oh shoot I didn't see any signs Edit: The gate there was wide open

Boneyard?

 

[Eric]

Its a shame that they just leave that stuff out there all year. Or do they ?

Scotland parking lot

Ah - makes sense. Guess overflow parking hasn't been needed for awhile.

BGW owns the two warehouses over there. One is the ENNIS and the other is the WISE. The ENNIS warehouse stores the over-sized game prizes stock. The WISE warehouse stores most of, if not all of Entertainment's special events items.

But as @CastleOSullivan stated, that is there private property, regardless of if you do not see a sign, or an open gate, it is still trespassing. I do remember on the most extremely busy days, they have parked guests by the ENNIS warehouse and on the grass in front of the WISE warehouse.

Man, seeing those pictures reminds me how much I miss Wendigo Woods. A million times better than Axe Alley. The creativity, immersion, and tension in that area was just brilliant.

Not sure if this has been discussed elsewhere, but BGT has announced details for their HOS event:

Good find - it has it's own thread under BGT: https://parkfans.net/threads/howl-o-scream-2020.6768/

So with BGT Howloscream happening how likely is it that we see BGW follow in their footsteps?

We expect there to be a Halloween event, we just don’t know what it will look like yet. Don’t expect much more than decorations—but don’t rule out more either. A lot will depend on the guest cap imposed by the state in October.

It shouldn't be too hard to incorporate face masks into costumes for scare actors. I would expect at least 1 or 2 scare zones with socially distanced actors.

It actually would be a good opportunity to try to have a more mature event since they wouldn't have to worry about families staying past 5pm if they only open in the evening and have no kid attractions running.

 

[Jonesta6]

Curious if F&B and merch sales would change and what direction if it became adults only (not thinking they'd actually do that or enforce it if they did)?

The easy solution there is to run Count Spooktacular from 11-3 and then Howl-O-Scream from 5-9.
