Pics from yesterday of the preview center

And finally... if i see a chair I usually get a picture of me sitting in it.

The prices really are not that bad. I'm surprised.

 

[Shog]

I think this will be a good event for BGT, but at what cost? Is it just me or has this event taken precedence over Howl-o -Scream? It almost appears like BGT is conceding and going in another direction with their investment dollars. After a record breaking Howl-o-Scream last year it will be interesting to see how things shape up this year with these two events. Will Howl-o-Scream have record crowds again? Will this Christmas event really pay off? I am anxiously awaiting to see how this all plays out.

Well we all know that Xmas is where the money is at, no need to look further than the store shelves. As soon as the Halloween decorations are on the shelf the Xmas on get unboxxed.
I don't think it will effect HOS... it is a very poular event and they are far enough apart. They do Christmas shows anyway, SeaWorld does their park up for the season, so this is just progress and more money for the park.

Yeah, I don't think it is getting any more attention than Howloscream as far as event spending. Howloscream just needs to step it up on its own anyway. Why it seems that way is because this is something BGT has never attempted, and Howloscream already turns a healthy profit from following.

When Macdonalds gets a new sandwitch they do not need to fit in more ads with the big mac.

I just hope they Halloween up the preview center during HOS. Some zombie elves meandering around the area or something just for fun.

Smells so good in there

I wish I would have gotten those $10 tickets now. It looks like I would have been able to go after all.

Yeah, that was a great deal.

 

[Bryan]

Yeah I didn't get the $10 tickets either and I don't think I'm gonna go. Wish they would've kept it that price for passholders. Plus I looked in the preview center and it seems a little too christmas-y for me anyways

Well thats kinda the point... For $10 I'll give it a shot, but I would probably drive to SeaWorld before paying full price.

Scanning the website I noticed they will have penguins there. Any chance these penguins are from Sea World?

 

[Obi Ubamba]

Penguins!

 

[knokout1]

Yep, located near Candy Cane lane in Nairobi

of course they are, why bring in any other ones?

 

[knokout1]

Well cause what happens when the penguins are returned to Sea World when the new Antarctica opens up? They order some more on Ebay? I know this won't happen this year, but in years to come.
