live2tell75 Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 Hi everyone! Last night Kevin, myself and a group of awesome peeps checked out our first Halloween event for the season, Howl-O-Scream at Busch Gardens Africa. We had a blast! Great job to everyone that worked the event, many of you gave us some good scares! Going on a Thursday night is the only way to go to Howl-O-Scream! We walked into all 6 haunted houses and rode all the rides without any wait. We did have to wait 5 minutes for Cheetah Chase and Shiekra, but we didn't mind. The haunted houses were very long! Club Muse was our first house of the night and really set the mood! This house had great scares and seemed to go on forever! Everyone loved the new house for this year: Trapped In The Walls, lots of good scares! The Hunted, like last year was fantastic had some fun surprises! We didn't get to see any of the shows but did do all the scare zones which were a lot of fun! Here is my ranking of the houses & scare zones from favorite to least. Haunted Houses: 1. Trapped In The Walls 2. Club Muse 3. The Hunted 4. Deathly Departed 5. Freaked! 6. The 3rd Demntia Scare Zones: 1. Zombie Junction 2. Restless Death 3. Pharoh's Revenge 4. Wicked Woods 5. Bone Grinders Onto the photos, enjoy! These hotties enjoyed their night at HOS. L-R Heather, Ashley, Janette and Lynn. It was so nice to be able to stay on Guazi for a few rides without getting off. Ashley and I got some major air time on Guazi! We all loved Guazi at night! Except maybe Heather. Ashley thought this old ghostly-grizzly man was HOT! Daryl made a new friend, his name was Death! Our group met a new large monster friend. Kevin's favorite part of Cheetah Chase is "the plummet of death" go figure! This is the only coaster at Busch Gardens Kevin and I can ride together! (Kevin is not a big coaster fan, but loves Cheetah Chase!) Janette, Ashley, Daryl and Heather are ready to conquer Cheetah Chase! Awh, aren't we cute! Ashley loves being stuck in the middle of a sandstorm! Heather and Daryl are so ready for the breezy Sandstorm. My first up-sidedown credit, the Scorpoin. Ray, Lynn, Daryl, Heather Oliva and me. Heather, go stand next to the nice psycho guy and victim! From L-R: Daryl, Heather, Oliva and Lynn. And a ride on the always awesome Montu! From L to R: Janette, Ashley, Ray and me. After our first 2 heart pounding haunts of the night it's time to take a relaxing stroll through Egypt. L-R:Daryl, Heather, Ray, Ashley, Janette, Lynn and Kevin. Lots of fog set's the mood for the evening! Here's our TERRORiffic group: L-R: Daryl, Heather, Me, Janette, Lynn, Ray, Kevin, Ashley, & Olivia. Like when Lynn and I got separted from our group and stummbled upon this guy in pieces. Freaked! was a lot fun and had a few surprises! So Kevin and I conquered another year at HOS. I can't wait, cause I will be returning on the 21st! Till then Kev and I are ready to crash! Thanks for reading! Our group rocked! I think everyone had a spine-tingling-great time! Janette and I had a blast at HOS!
cfc Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 Ex-x-x-cellent! Definitely looks like it puts the 'Burg's version to shame! And what are these mysterious feelings of deja vu I get whenever I see pictures of Cheetah Chase . . . A mere 12 days and I'll be in the midst of Halloween, er, paradise (?) in Florida--woo hoo! Looking forward to getting those BGA credits at last (well, I already have one, at least). Chuck
live2tell75 Posted October 6, 2006 Author Posted October 6, 2006 Chuck, it is going to be a blast! You are going to love HOS at BGA. And the Wild Maus, I mean Cheetah Chase looks forward to seeing you again! I can't believe it is in less than 2 weeks!
Slacking Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 Wild Maus? It'll always be Wild Izzy (*shudder*) to me! Glad you enjoyed HOS! Crowds were so sparse Thursday night, it was a perfect night to go. Nice to see After Hours towards the top of your list.
pvcoasterguy Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 Nice TR! What was the drop of doom on Cheetah Chase? We were braked so hard on that ride that we nearly came to a stop before each drop. Could've been a good ride... too bad.
live2tell75 Posted October 7, 2006 Author Posted October 7, 2006 ^^After Hours was a lot of fun! The coat room/body room was great! And I love the floating heads room from last year- good scares! Where in After Hours do usually work? I I thought everyone did a great job! ^ Any drops on a coaster for Kevin, are a "plummet of doom"! The biggest coasters he will go on are Space Mountain & Revenge of the Mummy.
Slacking Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 I like to call Cheetah Chase "Cheetah Crawl" when they brake you heavily. As for After Hours, no clubbing for me, but I am in the outside scene as one of the officers.
live2tell75 Posted October 7, 2006 Author Posted October 7, 2006 ^ So you were one of the officers that made us go in the paddy wagon! It was so funny, my group didn't want to go in there, they were all pretty scared!
ECZenith Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 Nice TR, definately looks better than last year.
Slacking Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 ^ So you were one of the officers that made us go in the paddy wagon! It was so funny, my group didn't want to go in there, they were all pretty scared! Yup! I have to direct people into the paddy wagon, but I can get great scares at the same time. Some people absolutely don't want to go up the steps into the truck, it's pretty funny.
IOA Freak Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 Sorry for my ignorance, but what's the paddy wagon?
live2tell75 Posted October 8, 2006 Author Posted October 8, 2006 ^ It's a police bus-type transport for criminals.
