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! Written by Renée Girard  And now on our tour of haunts around the country this weekend, we’re at Busch Gardens Tampa!  Love the Halloween atmosphere but not a fan of being scared? You can get yourself a “No Boo” necklace.  Kicking off our night at Howl-O-Scream by drinking beer with giraffes.   Voodoo scare zone!     It’s so beautiful.   Death Water Bayou is always such a great house.    The Junkyard is an awesome walk through/scare zone where you can revisit some scares from the past.     So many scare actors in The Junkyard.     Witch of the Woods was absolutely amazing!   In the Shadows scare zone, so creepy and fun!     The Forgotten took us into the dark and sexy vampire world.   If you need some liquid courage, there are plenty of drink options.   Skeleton Crew scare zone had pirates out and about.   A crowd favorite, zombies and bumper cars!    I feel like every haunted event has to have clowns somewhere.   The Residence is one of the returning houses, honestly not my favorite but has some good scares.   Little Nightmares was one of my favorite scare zones. They’re just so cute!     The Shortcut scare zone, definitely the most dark and morbid.     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?!   Thanks for a great night at Busch Gardens Howl O Scream! Loved seeing this event fully back with all the scares and houses! Related Videos

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! Written by Gregg Condon  Right off the top, the park will be opening in March 2022. It's going to be a busy few months for SeaWorld parks!  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  John Dunlap, Sesame Place San Diego Park President  Clint Brinker, SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment Corporate Project Manager  Some friends came out to unveil the new sign!
   Let's head in for a tour!  We of course started off in the parks entry area  Clint was a great tour guide! And they mic'd him up which was great!  A rendering of the parade   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!  The Sunny Day Carousel  Big Birds Nest  123! My inner toddler definitely smiled at this one!    A look back at the Carousel Area, 123 and Big Birds Nest area  The Community Center and Abby's Garden  Hooper's Store!    What you've all be waiting for, Super Grover's Box Car Derby!   The trains look awesome!   It's been awhile since we've been able to get this close to a not-yet-open coaster!    You ready for some nerd shots?     Oooh, Fancy!   Before the tour ended some friends came out to say goodbye!  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! Related Videos

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.  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!  Howl-O-Scream is now hiring, scan the code!   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!  Who am I to turn down a 10 minute wait for a coaster that ended up being about a 1 minute wait.  A look at Emperor, cannot wait to ride this! I love B&M Dive Coasters!  Howl-O-Scream prep near Wild Arctic!  You know, as a blogger I should know where all the mazes are being constructed, but this was the only one I could find.  I must have sat here for 2-3 minutes waiting for this fake bird to move. Lol.  I of course had to see my Penguins!  And the sharks! Be warned, the moving sidewalk isn't working in here, and people just stop in the tube, with zero ventilation.  Didn't see much Howl-O-Scream prep going on, but lots of Halloween Spooktacular prep is being done!     This could maybe be for Howl-O-Scream?   The trains for Tidal Twister are now completely gone.  It's been reported that they are working to get the ride back up and running, but obviously it won't be anytime soon.    Before I headed out I of course had to take a ride on Manta! It's so good.  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! Related Videos
