An extremely wet night played into the atmosphere this evening as Busch Gardens Tampa opened their annual Howl O Scream event.
For 18 select nights this fall, Howl-O-Scream 2014 unleashes a new type of terror as Busch Gardens Tampa transforms into Florida’s top-rated Halloween event, complete with 300 acres of fears and frights, including new horrifying haunted houses and sinister surprises around every corner.
Tormenting surprises and unexpected terrors are around every corner, including the event’s newest haunted house – Dead Fall.
Inside Dead Fall, the ghosts of long lost memories reach into the present and will NOT be forgotten! These spirits from the past lurk in the shadows of this Victorian garden and greenhouse, longing to drag unsuspecting guests into their world. Visitors have to try to escape before becoming a permanent resident of Dead Fall!
This year, Howl-O-Scream 2014 puts guests even closer to the action with Zombie Containment Unit 15.
Three years after the undead invasion, there has been a containment failure in Zombie Containment Unit 15. Zombies have escaped in search of flesh, and Howl-O-Scream guests are the next target. Armed with only a Z.E.D. (Zombie Eradication Device), it’s up to them to hold off an undead mob in this interactive zombie laser-hunting experience.
Freaky Preview runs tonight and Saturday, Sept. 26 and 27. The event then runs Thursday through Saturday nights, Oct. 2-Nov. 1. Howl-O-Scream will also be open on Sunday, Oct. 19. Operating hours are 7:30 p.m. to 1 a.m. for all event nights.
Hundreds of undead creatures emerge from the shadows and lurk throughout Busch Gardens as paranormal terrors keep your pulse pounding with an all-new haunted house, roaming slash mobs and more. Even more excitement awaits you on some of Florida’s top thrill rides, including North America’s tallest freestanding drop tower, Falcon’s Fury™.
General admission to the event is $89 plus tax.
