Thank you. It's hard to describe with words how magical that felt to revisit the years I treasure the most. The awe of the chainsaw chicken, the fear in my eyes as we passed the spiders on the train, and the "Shook Me All Night Long" portion from Monster Stomp. They've all made way to better things but they will always be in my heart and in memories. Thanks for the memories Busch gardens Williamsburg.
 
After doing a lot of research I feel I need to clear some things up.
The Bone Zone:
The Bone Zone wasn't in Banbury Cross, it was actually in Oktoberfest hence why there used to be skeltons around the planter. Scare Zone Link
Skeletons have taken over Oktoberfest. Lurking in the landscape of the world’s “Most Boo-ti-ful Theme Park,” these bone-zone creatures are “glow-ting” at everyone.

Sea Dog Cemetery:
As you may know Sea Dog Cemetrey was maze. Wrong, it was actually counted as a Scare Zone like Harvest Hallow
Sea Dog Cemetery
Gravediggers, zombies and legions of the living dead prowl the hills of Banbury Cross' gruesome graveyard. Guests traveling through are immersed in an ominous experience. Pirates and wretches gather to mourn their lost ones in the cemetery on the hill. But there's no Jolly Roger here, only gloom as guests venture through the last resting place of grisly old sea dogs. Beware — newcomers find a cold, dark welcome awaits.

Nightmare Express:
Nightmare Express didn't originally start out as Jack's Nightmare Express. I wanna say I remeber there was spiders in the Heatherdowns station but I'm not sure. If you have any memories of this version please tell!
Nightmare Express
Catch the train for a journey through one's worst nightmare, where dreadful dreams come to life as guests traverse the wilds of Busch Gardens' railway. The devious Mortimer Nightmare and his minions make guests face their fears in a variety of forms. This is one train ride guests won't forget – even in their dreams.

Monster Stomp:
Wow, the person who did this was WAY off with the plot.
Monster Stomp
Join Frankenstein and friends for a thrilling revue of rock 'n' roll classics like "Bad to the Bone," "Live and Let Die" and "Superfreak." Sure to rouse a monstrous need to dance, the rhythm is gonna get you.

Sea Dog Cemetery was a maze. It was in the FoF/Petting zoo area. And it was NOT like Harvest Hollow. Piratical Purgatory however was the scarezone that went with it.

Nightmare Express, had many things in Heatherdowns station. I know one year was spiders another was vampires.

And that was Monster Stomp. Frankenstein wasn't involved, but Live and Let Die was the opening number, Bad to the Bone was the intro song for the skeletons before Shake Your Groove Thing. And Superfreak wasn't involved, as far as I remember it. That description is definitely combining Fiends in Das Festhaus with Monster Stomp.

I realize that it was like a maze more than a scarezone but the park listed it as a scarezone.

Exactly. Seadog is what Cutthroat SHOULD be in terms of all around quality.

At the end of the day, it wasn't a scare zone, whether they put it in the scare zone category or not. I mean The Bone Zone was a "Scare Zone" and do you know what that was? It was just lights, that ran across the sides on the buildings and ground in front of the Festhaus, and some skeleton decorations. There was nothing scary about it. It's not like there were actors in that area.

While searching the magical place known as the internet I found these pictures of Transylvania Express.

Just saying but I would sacrifice Root and Cuthroat Cove so we could have this back. But that would be a step back from progress and the best thing to do is to look towards the future.

Considering Root has been consistently one of the best houses between this year and last year, I wouldn't sacrifice Root at all.

Not that I'd sacrifice anything to get any for of the train ride back, other than a mode of transportation.
