Now Busch Gardens will require visitors age 15 and younger to be accompanied by a chaperone at least 21 years old after 4 p.m. The chaperone must enter the park with the minor, remain inside the park and be available by phone.

The park is implementing a chaperone policy for the remainder of Howl-O-Scream following a chaotic altercation during the seasonal event's opening weekend and a stabbing in the park the next weekend.
