It has been far too long since we last did a photo update. Lets fix that.
Today we have a rather impressive number of Project 2015 pictures from some incredibly unique angles in addition to a massive collection of Howl-O-Scream 2015 construction photos. Enjoy!

Project 2015
Despite the fact that Project 2015 track has been on site for weeks now, Busch Gardens Williamsburg is still only in the beginning stages of construction on the actual future site of the coaster. Regardless, we managed to get some fantastic shots of the current state of the area between Apollo’s Chariot and Festa Italiana, the eventual home of BGW’s 2015 attraction.
First off, we have a panorama I think you’ll all enjoy quite a bit. You can navigate the image below by clicking and dragging or using the wheel at the top left.
Though the image above gives a fantastic overview of the construction area, it’s still not any replacement for good old fashioned pictures to see details and the like. With that in mind, here’s our full collection of pictures from the Project 2015 site:
Looking back towards the construction walls in Apollo’s Chariot’s extended queue
The area in front of Apollo’s Chariot’s queue
The area under Apollo’s Chariot
Looking towards Jumpin’ Jupiter Arcade
Looking back towards the Coke Market from next to Apollo’s lift
A closer look at the old Splashus Maximus area
The area directly under Apollo’s lift
A shot of the back side of the Coke Market from the opposite side of Apollo
Looking down Apollo’s lift from the parking lot side
And finally a nice overview shot showing the entire site

Howl-O-Scream

Ripper Row (Banbury Cross)
A ton of banners have replaced Banbury’s Union Jacks
And I mean a lot. These banners are everywhere
The park also hung up the familiar crows
The hotel facade is back up in front of the Globe
Oddly enough, the back of the hotel still has a banner for a show in The Globe Theater. Seems like a missed opportunity to advertise Monster Stomp
Speaking of The Globe, look what has been repainted!
Heatherdowns
It’s harder to take a scarecrow seriously with a hat like that
Now that’s a scary scarecrow
In addition to the scarecrows, the jack-o-lanterns have been hung overhead once again this year as well
What’s that I see? Could it be the BAP?

The inside of Le Belle has gotten a bit of theming as well

At least it’s all fairly high-quality theming
