 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!! Written by Renée Girar We’re walking down the blood stained carpet at Busch Gardens Tampa for the 20th anniversary of Howl O Scream!    Already making new friends.   Festive scares all around among the Dia de los Muertos.     Our first house of the night and returning for a second year is Insomnia: Patients’ Revenge.     Taking a break for some snacks and drinks before heading into more scares.   Enjoyed some scares from the south at one of our returning favorites, Death Water Bayou: Wrath of the Queen.     Rocking out with these creepers in the Hell on Wheels scare zone.     I managed to escape the cage.   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.   The meat market is not vegetarian friendly!     Motel Hell: Infestation is back for more, and this time, they might need an exterminator.   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.     Back row night rides on Kumba? Yes please!  You never know who, or what, you might encounter along the dark pathways of the park.    More friends!  The Residence was the one new house this year. Unclear of the storyline, but some good scares.  Looks like Busch Gardens is doing one of those coffin challenges next week. I would love a 24 hour nap!   If a rabbit with a chainsaw is what you think of when you think of Deadly Toys, then you’d be right.   The Trickster, one of the event’s previous icons, made an appearance for the 20th anniversary.  Here’s to 20 years of fear! Busch Gardens always knows how to put on a fantastic Halloween event!   Related Videos

 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. Written by Steve and Jennifer Burant  Busch Gardens Tampa has something very exciting on the horizon for 2020!  It's Iron Gwazi, the newest and biggest RMC conversion!  Either these guys are trying to get an exclusive look at the construction, or they're working.  Clearly they're working.  We were treated to a behind the scenes hard hat tour of the construction site!  In case you needed help remembering who's building this beast.  This will be the tail end of the barrel roll that goes underneath the lift hill.  Almost all of the footers for Iron Gwazi are the original footers from Gwazi. Florida is a recycling state!  The crane of destiny.  This is the part where the train flies off the track and explodes like in Roller Coaster Tycoon.  A little close up coaster track porn.  More footers and more track waiting to be put into place.  Happy to see they'll be reusing the station "fly by" element from the original ride.  Looks as if most of the support structure is new.  This is still some original wood, and a very tight turn.  Can't wait to ride this thing!  The large gap in the structure there is where the lift hill will be.  Something completely illogical will happen here. Come out to Busch Gardens Tampa next spring for the new RMC hotness! Related Videos
Related Updates:  Last weekend was the kickoff of Bier Fest at Busch Gardens Tampa. Steve and Jen were on site to try all the tasty drinks and food which all looks amazing. And they happened to take a look at a tiny little project going on at the park too. =) Written by Steve and Jennifer Bier Fest is back Busch Gardens and we’re to check out this year’s offerings!   This year’s festival map, most of Gwazi Park is blocked off for obvious reasons. More on that later!  Love the giant menu board at the festival entrance that lets you know what’s on tap at each location.  Plenty of food options available to soak up all the beer!     We tried the Spicy Mango Wings and Sweet Potato Fries, both delicious! And of course a Rosé Float for dessert!     Don’t worry, it’s not all beer at Bier Fest. There’s plenty of options for everyone! We can’t wait to go back for more. Weekends through 9/8   Bier Fest continues weekends through September 8th. You can find out all the details here. Oh, and there is this other thing going on at the park too!!   It looks pretty amazing   Related Videos
