You can go into the park during the Howl O Scream hours only. The park opens at 5. The rides are all open with the exception of the children's rides in Sesame Street. The everyday shows will not be available, but FIENDS is playing over by Sheikra.
We were at Howl O Scream on September 28th. You can enter the park at 5 Pm to get acclimated & find where you want to go first, but the Haunted Houses don't open until 7:30 Pm. They do have a Fright Night dinner that can be done from 5 - 7 Pm. Somehow, we got through ALL of the Haunted Houses this year, which was amazing. We went to see the Fiends show too.
The park for Howl-o-scream opens at 7:30pm and only the thrill rides are open.
Howl o scream tickets are only for after 730pm. Not all rides are open but the ones that are, are included.
Certain rides are open during the Howl-O-Scream event. You won't be able to ride all the rides like you can with a regular Busch Gardens daytime ticket.
