It's a new week and we're back with some amazing Halloween Event updates from this past weekend. 

Today we're in Tampa as Renee and Tyler were there for opening night to take in the 20th anniversary of this awesome event. 

​Let's check it out!!

We’re walking down the blood stained carpet at Busch Gardens Tampa for the 20th anniversary of Howl O Scream! ​
Picture
Picture
Picture
​Already making new friends.
Picture
Picture
​Festive scares all around among the Dia de los Muertos. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Our first house of the night and returning for a second year is Insomnia: Patients’ Revenge.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
​Taking a break for some snacks and drinks before heading into more scares. 
Picture
Picture
​Enjoyed some scares from the south at one of our returning favorites, Death Water Bayou: Wrath of the Queen.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
​Rocking out with these creepers in the Hell on Wheels scare zone. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
​I managed to escape the cage.
Picture
Picture
​Ventured into Simon’s Slaughterhouse, but would have enjoyed it a lot more if the team member guests behind us didn’t have their phone flashlight lit the entire time.
Picture
Picture
​The meat market is not vegetarian friendly!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
​Motel Hell: Infestation is back for more, and this time, they might need an exterminator.
Picture
Picture
​I appreciate some of the repeat houses, because most of them are awesome. But I think The Black Spot has lived its life and I wouldn’t mind seeing something new here next year. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
​Back row night rides on Kumba? Yes please!
Picture
​You never know who, or what, you might encounter along the dark pathways of the park.
Picture
Picture
Picture
​More friends!
Picture
​The Residence was the one new house this year. Unclear of the storyline, but some good scares. 
Picture
Looks like Busch Gardens is doing one of those coffin challenges next week. I would love a 24 hour nap!
Picture
Picture
​If a rabbit with a chainsaw is what you think of when you think of Deadly Toys, then you’d be right.
Picture
Picture
​The Trickster, one of the event’s previous icons, made an appearance for the 20th anniversary.
Picture
Here’s to 20 years of fear! Busch Gardens always knows how to put on a fantastic Halloween event!

Iron Gwazi Hard Hat Tour at Busch Gardens Tampa

9/12/2019

Picture
This morning we were invited out to Busch Gardens Tampa to hear the announcement for their newest coaster, and to get a behind the scenes look at Iron Gwazi. 

So no fanfare, just pics of the news RMC masterpiece. 

​Enjoy.

Busch Gardens Tampa has something very exciting on the horizon for 2020!
Picture
It's Iron Gwazi, the newest and biggest RMC conversion!
Picture
Either these guys are trying to get an exclusive look at the construction, or they're working.
Picture
Clearly they're working.
Picture
We were treated to a behind the scenes hard hat tour of the construction site!
Picture
In case you needed help remembering who's building this beast.
Picture
This will be the tail end of the barrel roll that goes underneath the lift hill.
Picture
Almost all of the footers for Iron Gwazi are the original footers from Gwazi. Florida is a recycling state!
Picture
The crane of destiny.
Picture
This is the part where the train flies off the track and explodes like in Roller Coaster Tycoon.
Picture
A little close up coaster track porn.
Picture
More footers and more track waiting to be put into place.
Picture
Happy to see they'll be reusing the station "fly by" element from the original ride.
Picture
Looks as if most of the support structure is new.
Picture
This is still some original wood, and a very tight turn.
Picture
Can't wait to ride this thing!
Picture
The large gap in the structure there is where the lift hill will be.
Picture
Something completely illogical will happen here. Come out to Busch Gardens Tampa next spring for the new RMC hotness!
