• New names (and signage) for parking lot sections at the Transportation and Ticket Center. The sub-lots now combine for a big "heroes" lot and a big "villains" lot -- and each one has a dedicated tram
• Big tower outside PotC has speakers for Sorcerers game
• New railings outside Splash Mountain
• Crane is out installing castle Dreamlights
• Spotted: half-size ODV cart selling ice cream
• Splash Mtn final boat scene is fully fixed, even rocking back and forth
• Spotted: benches outside Mansion have always had "dogs" as handles on the end of the armrests... but the eyes are now painted red
• Spotted: new doll in the window outside Hall of Presidents. For Sorcerers?
• New dish: $11 salmon with couscous and broccoli, at Columbia Harbour House. Well worth the price.
• Osceola signs: all but one are fixed! (and the last one was being worked on late in the weekend; probably fixed now).
• Busch Gardens Tampa Howl-O-Scream: a rollickin good time, decent scare houses (6 of them), and one standout named "Alone" for a $40 upcharge (you can bring 3 others with you, so it's not truly alone). But the Alone house is not overrun with visitors; they only let groups go in every 5-10 minutes. Spectacular.
• At Howl-O-Scream, there are no scare zones -- everywhere is game! Instead, the scareactors roam in groups.
• The Midnight Hour show is campy fun with live singing (Obama, Palin, Sheen, Snookie as comic relief).
• The Fiends (naughty nurses) show is equally campy, more Monster Mash oriented.
• Construction photos of Universal mini golf. Still quite barren ground, some structures going up.
• Despicable Me signs are up at former Jimmy Neutron simulator
• Ripsaw Falls photo report: looking great!
