This did give us some unique experiences, but as always, has not influenced the opinions or thoughts on the event. Pro-Tip: Since the park is open all day, check out the shows early and don't do Lumberhack, Cornered, or Cut Throat Cove until dark as they're all outside and are better after sunset.ĭisclaimer: We were invited out to see this year's Howl-O-Scream at Busch Gardens Williamsburg in order to do our review as part of their media night.Hours of operation is still a major issue too, not enough time! Dislikes: Scare zones still lacking actors, Demon Street is still confusing, Cornered not really that great but fun still.Lumberhack is a good new addition and the upgrades to Bitten (acting wise) and the rest was nice to see. Likes: Scarlett's Revenge is an amazing maze, better than anything they've done.Recommendation: New improvements, new mazes, and more to do, definitely check it out!.(Food: Really Damn Good, Mazes: Really Damn Good, Scare Zones: Very Good) Review Team: +Kitsune Hazard, +Carrie H.C.However, they were the cards that were dealt for us to look at things.

Top that off with the weather, and it was even more strange than normal for a review trip. I should also point out that our visit was also on the first night, so some weirdness is always around and a few things may have changed by the time we've written this. Of course, that doesn't mean there aren't still problems, but we'll get to those down below. Top that off with the Scarlett's Revenge trading card dueling game, which is pretty fun to play, and a ton of other things make this year's event really shaping up to be the best it has been in years. Add in the revamped Blood Banquet character dining experience shows and more, and it's a lot to get done in a 4-5 hour window!

Three new mazes introduced Cornered, Lumberhack, and the feature maze, Unearthed: Scarlett's Revenge, this year has more to do than ever.

Not only featuring more mazes, but several of the old ones have seen some updates to them. Busch Gardens Williamsburg has really upped the ante for this year's Howl-O-Scream.
