Wendigo Woods™ is a new Terror-tory this year at Busch Gardens

When the sun sets beginning September 12, Busch Gardens becomes a pretty frightening place.
Prepare to scream this fall when the infamous Howl-O-Scream® returns with some all new thrills for 2014.
Cursed music will be playing throughout the park stirring up some strange happenings.

Be careful as you try to unravel the secrets in Wendigo Woods™… mysterious creatures are lurking in the trees.

Head to the Globe Theatre for Monster Stomp™ on Ripper Row® – a “modern rock-and-rhythm spectacular” featuring Jack the Ripper with percussion, dynamic dance and singing.

If all that fear leaves you with a pit of hunger in your stomach, there will be two new places to dine Igor’s Fright Feast™, an all you can eat buffet, and Crow’s Nest Grill™ a pirate themed galley in Ports of Skull™.

 

Howl-O-Scream® will prey on visitors daily from September 12 – October 26th after 6pm.

Similar to the model made famous by the popular television show, Project Runway, students will use the Cinderella story as inspiration in designing a pair of shoes fit for a modern-day princess.

 

Encouraged to be creative, and to interpret the beloved fairy tale in any way they choose, students will be producing sketches which will be submitted to a committee comprised of VCU Fashion faculty and Richmond Ballet dancers and staff who will then select the best, most original design. The student with the winning design will then have the opportunity to bring their shoes to life. The sketches and as well as the winning shoes will be displayed* at the Carpenter Theatre during the Cinderella run, February 13-16, 2014.
