Nothing for Tampa yet, huh?

I went years ago to this and really liked it! We went on preview weekend and it wasn't that busy and were able to ride all the rides as well. The houses I remember being pretty good too. Lots of fun :)

you have to click Tamp to get the view. That is a big difference at HOS most of the time you can actually do houses and rides. Smaller crowds make that possible.

I had a real good time the two years I went (2004/2005). Ascetically it isn't quite on par with HHN but considering the difference in the line lengths for the houses, it made it all worth while. My only problem is that they reused their big pyschoward house both years I was there.

That's the ONLY house I did when I went. After that one I was just like, nope. Not doin' anymore. I was too scared. :lol:

EFI (Escape from Insanity) Would rank as HOS best house of all time by most people I still miss it, I did 3 of it's versions.

Oh definitely. It was the only house really right on par with the quality of HHN. I just wish they'd have changed it up more the second year I went.

Well sadly HOS does not change a lot. But then again People do HHN houses 15-16 times in 1 month,,so maybe they figure that is good plan. HOS follows more the Knotts Scary Farm theory. I did After Hours so much in the 4 years it was there I could walk you through it right now if the building was empty. Change is good But I will say last year Death Row Vengance was my pick for best House in Florida..First time I had ever seen anyone use flying ghost, Well Flying Prisoners.

They had prisoners on a second level and they would fly from one side of the cell block to the other side. Very cool effect, It took me a couple trips through to figure how they had the rigging and harness set up. My other favorite was the firing squad It was just a very well thought out house with some good gagas.

Very different! I wonder how it will play out too. Like will they turn into demons or vamps or something, I kept waiting for something like that to happen. We'll see.

I have a feeling they'll end up being vamps. Doing a vampy theme would be a smart thing to do this year considering all the popularity surrounding vampires right now.

Well they already have a vampire House in Taste of Blood, so I am not sure how this whole thing is going to work. There is a rumored Sorority House and a Toy HOuse.
