Throughout the year, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay welcomes guests from all ages to come and see exotic animals and roller coasters that exceeds speeds as fast as a cheetah. With so many activities and shows, Busch Gardens can never go wrong to please its customers. When spooky season arrives, Howl – O – Scream awakens and invites Halloween fanatics to enjoy its houses and scare zones with deals that are irresistibly good. Howl – O – Scream has their separately paid ticket passes, front line of fear passes and front line fear extreme passes. In 2019, with their 20 years of fear promo, the price range of the ticket passes were from $39.99 to up to $59.99. The front line of fear passes price range were from $29.99 to $49.99. The front line fear extreme passes prices were from $59.99 to even $90.00. Many may argue that the front line fear extreme passes are not worth due to how expensive it may be, but here’s why it is a must have!
The front line fear extreme has benefits such as front of the line access to all 7 roller coasters, front of the line access to all the haunted houses and 20% off to all gift shop transactions.
If you’re a roller coaster die hard fan, then this the pass you must take! For the 20 years of fear event, on one of the biggest nights of the year (October 19th), the pass was useful to go on all the attractions with little to no wait. The regular lines were up to an average of 90 minute wait times and even more on certain rides or houses. The pass saved so much time and was well worth going into the houses without any time. This pass allowed time to eat, relax and go to the rides without worrying about how long the wait times were. With circling the park twice that night, the scare actors did an outstanding job for being a packed night and acknowledging that it was a Saturday. Usually, the park attendance is low during the weekdays and the front line extreme may not be useful in comparison to weekend nights. This year for their 21st year of fear, with a new hybrid roller coaster in the list “Iron Gwazi”, the pass will be an essential for the full experience.
