Busch Gardens Howl-O-Scream 2017

Scream Is Inescapable at Howl-O-Scream 2017

It’s true that Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights Fest is the nation’s premier Halloween event, but there are few others with similar experience as well. Such as, at Busch Gardens Tampa, Florida the Howl-O-Scream event brings to you enough reasons to scream. The uniquely terrifying Halloween event, features as many haunted houses, scare zones and shows that will leave you screaming for days. True horror fans need not have to worry as everything about the event is scary. If you are visiting the Busch Gardens on selects nights from September 22, through October 29, 2017, you will definitely end up with the best Halloween experience ever.

The annual Howl-O-Scream event comes with many terrifying encounters, including new and returning favorite, and menus with plenty of special dishes and drinks. This year too, the Event promises the best of scares, featuring 2 brand new haunted houses, taking the total to 7 haunted houses, also included are 5 scare zones and 2 lively shows. If that is not enough, you can also opt for one of those favorite thrill rides. But be careful, the scare is everywhere. You have nowhere to hide, not even in the rides.

Among the extremely strong line-up of houses, the newest two, include Demented Dimensions and Undead Arena: Live. The brand new house Demented Dimensions comes in the form of an amazing replacement for the old Zombie Mortuary. While Undead Arena: Live replaces the old Circus of Superstition. Though the first one seems to have a better concept and detailing, I think both are exciting. With their unique stories and scares they both add some freshness to the overall experience at the Event.

Among the older houses, include the greatly improved Motel Hell, debuted in the 2016 Event. It presents an excellent theme, with some new twist and surprises, including changes to the house layout. The Black Spot is another 2016 debutante that returns to scare you with an amazing theme and story. The Unearthed, debuted in 2015 is also a great house to look for at this year’s Event. From among the oldest favorites include Death Water Bayou, debuted in 2013. It’s one of the must visit houses with amazing detail and plenty of great scares. The Zombie Containment Unit 15 is the next returning old favorite.

Again the scare zones play an important role in keeping the experience in flow. In sort they will never let you take that much needed break. They will ensure that the scare never stops. The favorite five scare zones at 2017 Event include – Meat Market, Wasteland, Class Deceased, Carnie Camp and Playground. Also we have two special Shows at the Event namely, Joshua Seth: Inside Your Mind, which is the newest, debuting in 2017. The second Show is Fiends – a returning annual favorite for many Howl-O-Scream fans.

Howl-O-Scream is a hard ticketed event and runs on select nights. For special event tickets one can visit the Official Busch Gardens website. Also there are many online ticket deals and discounts on Busch Gardens tickets and Busch Gardens Howl-O-Scream tickets.
