I just saw the naked guys in the pool. I threw up in my mouth and I want to gouge my eyes out. Please tell me what house you rented because I will never get in that pool, no matter how much bleach they clean it with!

Great report! I went to Aquatica two years ago. It was fun, but I got sunburned! So I see there have been a lot of Busch parks in the past few installments. Could this be because of Smisty's current employer?

So I gotta wonder... Is Piers ever sober?

I can see it now... "Why are these homies dissing my girl Why do they gotta front?"

Question: Why did KidTums ride the Jurass coaster three times? Answer: Credit whores

Boy, it sure it pretty warm in Wisconsin this year if everyone is in t-shirts and shorts! Personally, I think next year you need to head north and visit Orlando, Florida. I hear they have the Orlando Dells.

Is that a real shuttle?

^Your girlfriend may live in Florida, but you don't so you cannot demand a recount. Your girlfriend can, though.

If Piers and Prince Desmond happen to meet, I will die a happy man.

Here's mine. My MS Paint skills really stink. EDIT: Hmmm...Robb kind of looks like President Logan from "24" in this photo. T-shirt

I think the best way to do Howl-O-Scream is to do the Fright Feast. It's $25. Howl-O-Scream officially starts at 7:30, but the Fright Feast starts at 5:45. You get a pretty good buffet dinner and you see one of the shows. At 7:00, you can access the houses 30 minutes early and you get priority acces until 8:30. I've done the Fright Feast over the past few years. During the early entry time, your group tends to be the only ones in the houses and the Scare-actors will be all over you! Each year that I've done the Fright Feast, I'm able to finish all the houses by 8:30. Then I catch another show, do the rides, or check out a few houses again.

^Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! Save the Sinbad show! Let's find Princess Dezmound and she will donate money. I need trucks and hammers. Come on people, we can save the Sinbad show!

I went on Sunday, 10/19, and it was crowded! The lines became long very fast. I did Horror Nights first and that was the only house I didn't use Express on. At around 6:15, the wait was around 5 minutes. When I did all the other houses, I went back to Horror Nights and used Express. The line was then 90 minutes. All the houses had 60-120 minute waits! The schools are out now and Sunday was a special UCF night, so that's what made the crowds huge. It felt like a Saturday. Even though it was crowded, the Scare-actors were going all out. I got more scares that night from the Scare-actors than I did during my visit earlier in the month! The least scares were in Horror Nights. The most was in Havoc. I went in at around 6:15 and left around 10. I did all the houses and rode Jaws. I skipped Bell and Ted because it was terrible when I saw it earlier. I did walk by a show and I didn't hear uproarous laughter. By the way, if you want wait times texted to your phone, send "tonight" (no quotes) to 64646. You'll get updates every 30 minutes. The times are not accurate to a T, but they tend to be +/-15 minutes. By using this system, I saw the waits grow and grow every 30 minutes.

I've been to Halloween Horror Nights at USF and Howl-O-Scream at BGT.

We should just do it like Nagashima Spaland and name the coaster "Triple Launch Coaster." Problem solved! No more online petitions!

^Too bad. I remember about 4-5 years ago, the Cylde and Seamore show became "spooky." Slappy walked the plank and then came back as a ghost to steal the treasure. The Pets Ahoy show had the trainers in Halloween costumes. I still haven't seen the Tony-award winning "Countdown T Halloween."

I think Busch should just name it "Maverick: The Next Generation."

Silly rabbit, phones these days aren't for calling and talking to people. A phone is used for such activities like texting, games, and listening to music, but you never use a phone to talk to people! That's crazy!

Was there a Cylde and Seamore Halloween show?

Surely the photo captions will be hilarious!

^My mental picture of Steve and Jen were very different than what was in my picture. Yet another woman who is unavailable -- dang!

Great photos! Now we know what Steve and his girlfriend Jen look like. Also, I am ashamed to admit I looked at the lion's nards. I've thought about doing the backstage coaster tour. $20 for a 45 minute tour is not too bad! And oddly, I was at Busch Gardens on 10/10 too, but during the last 90 minutes of park operations. I have to agree -- the ride ops didn't look very happy. Kumba seemed to be running louder too!

This ride looks so cool and it'll be my 500th credit! I'm not too pleased with the name, but I wasn't too pleased with SheiKra at first. It sounded like some drunk guy blurted it out. Then the name grew on me. Then again, a coaster by any other name would be just as kick a$$!

If this park does open, we'll be sure to see it on Erik's "Oddventures." It does sound like a neat idea, but with Orlando's saturated market, it'll be difficult. How many tourist attractions have come and gone in Orlando?

Great photos! I love Sea World's Spooktacular, but I've never seen the Countdown to Halloween show. One year they were handing out banannas down the candy trail. Were such delictable delights available this year?
