Howl-O-Scream 2021 at Busch Gardens Tampa

This past weekend we were invited out to Howl-O-Scream at Busch Gardens Tampa to get our scare on at the always amazing Howl-O-Scream. Some new and returning houses were on hand in addition to some amazing scare zones!

And now on our tour of haunts around the country this weekend, we’re at Busch Gardens Tampa!
Picture
Love the Halloween atmosphere but not a fan of being scared? You can get yourself a “No Boo” necklace.
Picture
Kicking off our night at Howl-O-Scream by drinking beer with giraffes.

Voodoo scare zone!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
It’s so beautiful.
Picture
Picture
Death Water Bayou is always such a great house.
Picture
Picture
Picture
The Junkyard is an awesome walk through/scare zone where you can revisit some scares from the past.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
So many scare actors in The Junkyard.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Witch of the Woods was absolutely amazing!
Picture
Picture
In the Shadows scare zone, so creepy and fun!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
The Forgotten took us into the dark and sexy vampire world.
Picture
Picture
If you need some liquid courage, there are plenty of drink options.
Picture
Picture
Skeleton Crew scare zone had pirates out and about.
Picture
Picture
A crowd favorite, zombies and bumper cars!
Picture
Picture
Picture
I feel like every haunted event has to have clowns somewhere.
Picture
Picture
The Residence is one of the returning houses, honestly not my favorite but has some good scares.
Picture
Picture
Little Nightmares was one of my favorite scare zones. They’re just so cute!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
The Shortcut scare zone, definitely the most dark and morbid.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
We’ve reached the final house of the night, Cell Block Zombies. There have been prison houses and zombie houses before, so why not put them together - what could go wrong?!
Picture
Picture
Thanks for a great night at Busch Gardens Howl O Scream! Loved seeing this event fully back with all the scares and houses!

Hard Hat Tour Of All New Sesame Place San Diego - Opening March 2022

Yesterday we were invited out to Sesame Place San Diego to take in a hard hat tour of the all new park. Since I was already going to be in San Diego for some family things it was perfect timing to make a quick trip to Chula Vista to see this all new park. 

It truly felt great to be back doing park tours, something we haven't done in far too long. And this park is going to be super cute and everybody will love it. Let's head in for a closer look!

Right off the top, the park will be opening in March 2022. It's going to be a busy few months for SeaWorld parks!
Picture
But before we head into the park for our tour, a few words from our hosts. Lisa Aiu, Sesame Place San Diego Vice President of Operations
Picture
John Dunlap, Sesame Place San Diego Park President
Picture
Clint Brinker, SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment Corporate Project Manager
Picture
Some friends came out to unveil the new sign!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Let's head in for a tour!
Picture
We of course started off in the parks entry area
Picture
Clint was a great tour guide! And they mic'd him up which was great!

I had never been to Aquatica before, but it looks like most of the water attractions are indeed staying at the park. Which is great!
Picture
The Sunny Day Carousel
Picture
Big Birds Nest
Picture
123! My inner toddler definitely smiled at this one!

What you've all be waiting for, Super Grover's Box Car Derby!

The trains look awesome!
Picture
Picture
It's been awhile since we've been able to get this close to a not-yet-open coaster!
Picture
Picture
Picture
You ready for some nerd shots?
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Oooh, Fancy!
Picture
Picture
Before the tour ended some friends came out to say goodbye!
Picture
It truly felt so great to be doing things like this again!
We hope you enjoyed this tour and video, we had a great time at Sesame Place and can't wait to see it completed early next year. 

​Thanks to SeaWorld Parks for having us out for the tour, it's always appreciated!

SeaWorld San Diego Update: Howl-O-Scream Prep and more

Last Friday I made a quick stop at SeaWorld San Diego to check out Howl-O-Scream Prep and see if anything was new on Emperor. 
Picture
Before the SeaWorld stuff though, if you're ever down in the Kearny Mesa area, you need to treat yo-self to some amazing Ice Cream. Perfect treat!
Picture
Howl-O-Scream is now hiring, scan the code!
Picture
Picture
Bier Fest is still going on for a few more weekends! And even the first weekend of Howl-O-Scream! Beer during the day, Screams at night!
Picture
Who am I to turn down a 10 minute wait for a coaster that ended up being about a 1 minute wait.
Picture
A look at Emperor, cannot wait to ride this! I love B&M Dive Coasters!
Picture
Howl-O-Scream prep near Wild Arctic!
Picture
You know, as a blogger I should know where all the mazes are being constructed, but this was the only one I could find.
Picture
I must have sat here for 2-3 minutes waiting for this fake bird to move. Lol.
Picture
I of course had to see my Penguins!
Picture
And the sharks! Be warned, the moving sidewalk isn't working in here, and people just stop in the tube, with zero ventilation.
Picture
Didn't see much Howl-O-Scream prep going on, but lots of Halloween Spooktacular prep is being done!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
This could maybe be for Howl-O-Scream?
Picture
Picture
The trains for Tidal Twister are now completely gone.
Picture
It's been reported that they are working to get the ride back up and running, but obviously it won't be anytime soon.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Before I headed out I of course had to take a ride on Manta! It's so good.
Picture
Alright everybody, that's a wrap from SeaWorld San Diego. Unfortunately we won't be going to Howl-O-Scream on opening weekend, but will be there the first weekend in October! We are very much looking forward to it!
