We’re walking down the blood stained carpet at Busch Gardens Tampa for the 20th anniversary of Howl O Scream! ​

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!

Today we're back at Busch Gardens, but the one that is 835 miles north of the one we were at yesterday. 

If you missed Steve and Jen's report from Bier Fest at Busch Gardens Tampa,  click here !! 

But today we're in Williamsburg with Renée who spent the weekend riding some amazing rides and drinking some amazing beer (bier?). Let's check out one of the best parks in the country!!

All weekend we were at Busch Gardens Williamsburg for Bier Fest. And some awesome coasters, too.
Picture
Might as well get started on the beer! Here is just some of what Busch Gardens VA has to offer for Bier Fest.

​RIP DarKastle.
Picture
​Alpengeist is still so good!!
Picture
Picture
Picture
​Well. Battle for Eire is... a ride?
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
​Happy 40th, Loch Ness Monster. You get even better with age! 
Picture
Picture
Picture
​I found my new home.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
You can’t go wrong with any of the coasters Busch Gardens VA
Picture
Picture
​Ended the night with some amazing rides on Apollo’s Chariot!
Picture
​Back at Busch Gardens VA for some more coaster fun! First train of the day on InvadR, and the whole train to myself as well.
Picture
Picture
Picture
​Got a few more rides in on Griffon before things get busier.
Picture
Picture
Picture
​Delayed opening for Verbolten. The only new coaster for me left on this trip, so I’ll wait it out. 
Picture
Picture
​I’m seeing signs for these all over the park. I guess I’m out of touch with this fad. Are these the new fidget spinners?
Picture
​Verbolten was a surprise hit for me! There seriously are zero bad coasters at this park.
Picture
Picture
Picture
t’s the final day for Bier Fest. Gotta get another sampler card to try some more!
Picture
Picture
​Getting some gorgeous views on the Rhine River Cruise.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
​Giving out fanny packs to riders for loose articles on Tempesto is something I’ve never encountered on a coaster before, but hey, it’s fast and it works.
Picture
Picture
Picture
The theming on all of the Busch Gardens VA rides are really top notch. Escape From Pompeii is short and sweet with just enough fire and water for an awesome ride.
Picture
Picture
​My face when I’m trying to sample all the beers on the last day of Bier Fest and it’s 90+ degrees outside and I only have 3 hours left. 
Picture
​The park is gearing up for Howl O Scream in a few days.
Picture
Picture
The last performance for the Happy Dutchman, closing out Bier Fest. Auf wiedersehen!
Picture
Picture
​Views from the Sky Ride.
Picture
Picture
Picture
For Bier Fest they also had some brewery talks, which I always find interesting to attend.
Picture
​This Busch Gardens doesn’t have quite as many animals as Tampa, but there are a few. Here are some random sheep.
Picture
​Prost! Had such a fun weekend
