RE: Pass Member Weekend 2013
Because we're talking about Busch Gardens, they have not announced a time when the parking gates or the turnstiles open. Your guess is just as good as mine really.

The presentation is at 9:30, gates open at 10. They figure that's the best way to answer all the questions they get, to not get any.

On a whim this afternoon I decided to round up the major things I think could be announced on Saturday. Link
Also, anyone who is planning on being there for the announcement on Saturday, has a Twitter account, and has the ability to tweet during the announcement, please PM me.

Zach I noticed you said one of two hamlets for the 2014 project, but I can confirm it is Festa Italia that the test was done, right in front of Apollo's Chariot actually.
If you have any evidence if that, by all means, PM me if you would. I have different people saying different things.
Come on you guys, the thing starts in 12 hours! What are your predictions?
I'm calling the following:
1. Fancy Howl-O-Scream announcement
2. Fairly in-depth Christmas Town presentation
3. Europe in the Air replacement announcement or the return of Corkscrew Hill
4. London Rocks! announcement or teaser

Public tar and feathering of SG. But I will be at KD, so you guys have fun!
They seem to have been emphasizing food and beverage a lot recently. Is there any chance they will talk separately about those initiatives? Or would that just be rolled into the other events?
I ask because I think that is one thing the park has been doing really well recently. Even before the F&WF. Do y'all remember last year when they had the in- park competition between the two food teams?

1. Howl-o-Scream, everything we already know with a twist
2. Christmas Town, new pass deal announced and a look at a few new decor, maybe a new area
3. Europe in the Air replacement or Festa Italia stuff or both?

CK predictions:
- Jack the Ripper kidnaps unsuspecting "victim". Crowd goes wild.
- SG still takes the stage out of pure arrogance and irregardless of boos...cause, you know...free iPad.
- EITA 2 announced
- Possible softening of anger due to CT unlimited Pass released for Pass Members.
- Pork Shanks, Bacon & Adult Grilled Cheese brought out to taunt someone in the crowd.
- CK possibly gets kicked out of the Festhaus.
- Zombie Village Band plays music as the crowd exits at the end.

All I want to know is if the Food and Wine festival is coming back next year. I didn't get to go this time, and I really wanted to try the food.
Otherwise, I imagine they over-hyping HoS and CT. Maybe a replacement for EitA.
Oh and the question "Will the haunted train be coming back anytime soon?"

From what I've been told, the F&WF lost a ton of money, not saying it won't be back it seems to be a pet project of someone. They've addressed the train question every year, it's not coming back. I want them to address the "negative work environment in the entertainment department and how up and down the east coast performers are now shunning BG and are being told not to work here. They keep having people walk off and noone to replace them, what's going to happen to the entertainment? It's pretty bad when the KD shows are getting better than BG.

Carl Lum takes the credit for F&WF. He said it was his idea that he got from Epcot, at least that was the story he gave one of my sources. With that said, I actually heard the F&WF did much better than they expected, plus the people that did go and enjoy it, didn't just enjoy it but loved it.
I just can't imagine it didn't do too well, unless the cost of the stands outweighed everything. But now that they have those stands, they can continue to reuse them.

That is actually incorrect. It was rushed to be implemented this year as a cash grab and fell victim to lack of advertisement. As a result it just barely broke even thus tying up funds that could have been used elsewhere until Quarter's end.
Unfortunately won't be able to attend. Thanks given in advance for all coverage provided. I know it's a nightmare to get in from previous postings. Much Appreciated for all the hard work you all do!!

Atlantis is the most accurate of what I have seen anyone say.
I will be braving the crowds today, for my personal up to date coverage of the event plus maybe some HOS pics, follow me at @BGWFanPR on Twitter.
