For the howl o scream..when you buy a ticket does it include admission to the parks rides as well? The website says not by daytime and I'm confused..nobody is picking up the phone..also is there quick passes for the haunted houses?

Howl O Scream is it's own ticket. And yes a majority of the rides are open.

Think Howl o Scream started at 6 last year and everyone had to be out so people for howl o scream could get in. And it might be like a normal day minus the quick pass not really sure

The Hallo Scream thing is only for the evening, didn't include the daytime admission. But I believe everything will be all inclusive while there.

typically busch gardens admission tickets are for everything. you don't have to pay separate for park rides.
