SeaWorld Orlando’s Howl-O-Scream promises to be a triple threat
W
ith three brand new houses, four all-new scare zones, five sirens, and the return of four fan-favourite attractions, guests at SeaWorld Orlando can experience one-of-a-kind thrills and chills on select nights until 31 October. SeaWorld Orlando’s third annual scare event, Howl-O-Scream, has begun. Under the cloak of the night, the sinister sisters prevail, promising skull-shivering scares beyond your worst nightmare and giving you more screams than any other theme park. Enter if you dare and escape if you can in the three new heart-stopping haunted houses plaguing this year’s event. Making it out of the houses is only the beginning, with four new scare zones expanding the siren’s eerie empire. From a petrifying pier to a toxic wasteland, experience the shadow-stalking fears that lie around every corner and reimagined frights all through the night.
For thrills alongside chills, guests can soar to death-defying heights on fan-favourite attractions such as Manta, Mako, Pipeline, and Ice Breaker. Guests can also quench their thirst for fear at a fiendishly interactive bar or feel the monstrous electricity of a live show.
Howl-O-Scream 2023 features five haunted houses, seven scare zones, more coasters and more unexpected frights than ever before - making it a can’t-miss experience for haunt fans and thrillseekers.
Guests begin their journey venturing beneath the surface of the sea in the all-new
‘D3LER1UM666 Laboratories’. Surrounded by the near-infinite depths below and expansive oceans beyond, peer into the darkness that engulfs an inescapable research headquarters before time runs out. Brave the arctic terrain in pursuit of Frost, and follow the smoke of Frost’s fiery twin, Flame, in the brand-new house, BENEATH THE ICE – The Meltdown, soon to be the hottest rescue attempt ever made. Once free, there is nowhere to run. Prepare to freeze or burn. Drift through gruesome gators and ghoulish gravestones of the Louisiana Bayou in DEAD VINES: Nawlin’s Nightmare. Guests will trespass on Hex’s hideaway, feeling her wrath and wicked witchcraft while evading the jaws of her horrific home.
Alongside these brand-new additions are reimagined classics like Captain’s Revenge: Drowned in Darkness and the fan favourite Blood Beckoning.
Guests can face their most frightening fears and scariest spooks in three brand new scare zones. Trek through a lethal landfill of mutant creatures, humans, and even plants hungry for a fright in the all-new Toxic Turmoil. Amid the chemical chaos are surprises in store: not everything is as it seems or as it was. And if escape from infection was easy, do not be so fooled by the brand new Blood Light District, a borough known to tempt the faint of heart. The beauty and beckoning of their inhabitants are a curse, binding victims in bond and blood.
Completing the cauldron of chills is the IAAPA adds to leadership team
Four new professionals have joined the leadership team at the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA). Jack Chan has been named as the new executive director and vice president of the IAAPA Asia-Pacific region. He joins the association from Accesso, where he was sales director. Christy Spahn has been named vice president of expo sales and operations. She has experience with the National Restaurant Association and has more than a decade of experience in the expo space.
Jorge Cabrera has joined as senior vice president, people development. He joins from Fun Spot and has experience at SeaWorld and PepsiCo.
Finally, Stacey Mills has joined as head of global expo operations. She is a longtime IAAPA team member who most recently served as the senior director of conference and trade show operations.
Jakob Wahl, president and CEO of IAAPA, said: “The addition of Jack Chan, Jorge Cabrera, and Christy Spahn to the IAAPA team underscores
our commitment to strengthening the global attractions industry. These industry veterans bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise that will be pivotal in driving IAAPA's mission forward. We are proud to welcome three members to the team who have worked for true champions in their fields.”
unveiling of Carn-EVIL Pier. Fun transitions to fright in the cloud of the night as freaks, barkers, and demented clowns welcome guests to the show. Appearing alongside these new nightmares are fan favourites Portal of Passage, Frozen in Terror: Alive in the Ice, Witchcraft Bayou, and Terrors of the Deep.
The Howl-O-Scream experience would not be complete without SeaWorld’s darkly entertaining, high-energy shows like the haunting Siren’s Song. Be immersed in the story of the iconic Sirens as they feast on the fears of even the toughest of travellers. Guests can also watch a pulse- pounding musical performance starring Jack the Ripper in the award-winning Monster Stomp. Howl-O-Scream’s fantastic frights are finished off with a spectacular share of bites and flights. Returning for the event’s triple threat is the Longshoremen Tavern, where the longshoremen are dying to entertain those who enter their doors. A few scare zones away is the restoration of Siren’s Last Call, a hideaway for the Siren’s followers and home to the signature drink, The Siren’s Kiss.
