TAMPA,
Fla., Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Busch
Gardens Tampa Bay's Howl-O-Scream returns as what will feel like
the most horrifying nightmare. This year's event takes over the
entire park with five haunted houses, nine scare zones, four
sinister shows as well as untold horrors lurking in the dark. Aside
from the inescapable haunts, guests can seal their fate in the
darkness with nighttime rides on 10 world-class attractions,
including the award-winning Iron Gwazi, North America's tallest and the world's
fastest and steepest hybrid coaster. Busch Gardens Howl-O-Scream
will take place on select dates now through Oct. 31, 2022.
New terrors hailing from the afterlife and iconic frights will
even make the bravest souls whimper in fear. Fan-favorite houses
such as The Forgotten, Witch of the Woods and Death Water Bayou:
Blood Moon - The Final Phase will return, as well as the infamous
scare zones including The Junkyard, In The Shadows and Skeleton
Crew. These returning favorites are just a few of the experiences
that will complement the following fear-inducing new additions:
NEW Haunted Houses
NEW! Stranglewood Estate:
The halls and walls of what once was a lively home filled with
laughter and lavish parties, have witnessed the pitiful souls that
once entered unaware of their inescapable fate. For Madame
Gwendolyn, years of torture and torment developed a hatred for the
living, including her parents who did not escape her wrath. At the
heart of this opulent estate, guests will step into her secret
basement room where her servants faced their untimely death in this
grim, blood-soaked prison. Welcome to Stranglewood Estate.
NEW! The Residence: Home for the
Holidays: Merriment turns murderous at this suburban family
home. Christmas arrives earlier than ever this year at The
Residence: Home for the Holidays, an all-new house filled with
horrors waiting to be unwrapped. Holidays are best when spent with
loved ones, but there is no guarantee for guests to survive this
silent night.
NEW Scare Zones
NEW! Ravens Mill: Cries of
fear and mercy take over the Ravens Mill, a nightmare-cultivating
corn field haunting those who venture through these creepy
pastures.
NEW! Beyond the Veil: In the
depths of a dark dense forest fairies and orcs roam freely as you
stroll through this place of shadows. Guests must beware, when
walking past Beyond the Veil, they will be faced with demonic
creatures of misfortune and malevolence.
Shows and Entertainment
Like rising from the grave, this year's Howl-O-Scream also sees the
return of the high-energy and pulse-pounding creatures of the night
featured in Fiends along with live musical performances by
The Rolling Bones and the death-defying acts and stunts from
Cirque X-Scream. The following sinister all-new game show
joins this year's entertainment lineup:
NEW! 50/50: Choose Your
Fate: At this all-new show, the host will make everyone
believe the odds are in their favor when they are not. Fates are
sealed long before guests spin the wheel because regardless of
choice, the game show host always wins.
Parental discretion is advised after 6
p.m., as Howl-O-Scream contains graphics and amplified
scares that are not recommended for children. Howl-O-Scream is a
separate ticket event. Costumes are not allowed.
Best Way to Scream and Evil Upgrades
For the most avid
Howl-O-Scream fans, Front Line Fear passes are the best way to
access all five haunted houses. And for extreme fans, a Front-Line
Fear Extreme pass gives access to all haunted houses as well as
serving as Quick Queue to scream their lungs out on Busch Gardens'
roller coasters, including Iron Gwazi, North America's tallest and the world's
fastest and steepest hybrid coaster. Front Line Fear passes start at $69.
To step further into the darkness, an Ultimate VIP Tour grants
admission, unlimited front-of-the line access to haunted houses and
rides, one-time front-of-the line access to Iron Gwazi, private
complimentary beverage locations, free photo & reserved seating
at the Fiends show and free preferred parking. A Behind-The-Scenes
Tour is also available for guests to see what goes into the scares
on a daytime, lights-on experience.

time offer available at HowlOScream.com and purchase evil upgrades
