In the Autumn, Busch Gardens Williamsburg transforms from the "World's Most Beautiful Theme Park", into the "World's Most BOO-tiful Theme Park"!

The park goes all out with amazing decorations, Halloween shows and special frightening attractions.

Each year the event seems to be getting more popular, drawing larger and larger crowds.

Each of the parks sections is decorated in a unique theme (which changes from year to year).

The park has added great directional signs with the Howl-O-Scream attractions.

As you walk up the hill into Scotland, the trees are full of ghosts!
