SPWC

Orlando or California

Ive gone to Orlando since it started.

I've been to the Orlando one the past 2 years but I can't go this year because I've done so much other traveling and my vacation fund is drained. I have a blast every time I go!

I wanna go this year...dana, we need to coordinate or I might end up going by my lonesome

Cassie is gonna be here from sept 26 - oct 3 so we should try to go then.

So, you guys have totally got me researching this! I'm thinking of going to the Sick Puppies show in Tampa then maybe checking out Howl-O-Scream (instead of HHN) and then hitting the Tonic show in Tampa on the 5th. Dana, have you been to Howl-O-Scream before and if so, how does it compare to HHN?

The last 2 years I have enjoyed Howl-O-Scream way more than HHN. HHN has gone down hill a ton over the last few years (no more scare zones, the houses are uninspired and have no scares other than push a button and walk around a clearly visible corner or gap in the wall, etc). That being said it is still one of the best Halloween events in the country and I hope I can visit here to go sometime in October!

If you do go to Howl-O-Scream, I highly recommend getting the front of the line pass. The lines there get insane, especially because they stagger people entering the houses (not a continuous conga line like HHN). This does make them better but the waits can be even worse than HHN. The pass usually is pretty cheap.

I do the R.I.P tour for HHN so I don't wait in any lines and get in to all of the houses, rides and get front row for Bill & Ted. It's a tad expensive but I won't do it any other way.

Thanks for the info guys! My friend just confirmed she can go with me! I'll be going to the SP show at the Ritz Ybor, Busch Gardens/Howl O Scream and WOBtoberfest to see Tonic! I think I'll add on the front of the line pass when I get to HOS. I wished I had gotten the VIP pass the last 2 years at HHN so I know I'll want it for there.

I was being such a sissy. You should come back and do Howl-O-Scream with me. Apparently, their scare zones have gangs of chainsaw killers who chase you right out of the zone.

You hate chainsaws. Why would you subject yourself to that?

I'm sensing a group trip to in the future!
