The Zombie Apocalypse Theme Park

In abandoned Detroit of course!

Zombie theme park

We used to play a game like this in paintball - HINT: the humans can't win.

You can't turn a Zombie into a human.

Entrepreneur Mark Siwak has concocted what I believe to be a brilliant plan to turn an abandoned and decaying part of Detroit into a full-on Zombie Theme Park, which he said would make use of the otherwise undesired space and create a bunch of jobs to put Detroit's citizens (or at least the one's willing to dress up like a Zombie and drool for a living) to work.

The potential 200-acre theme park would allow visitors to try and keep away from hundreds of roving zombies. You would enter through the staging ground and be given some time to find a hiding place and supplies before a small hoard of zombies are released. They are looking for brains, and if they find yours, you play out the rest of the game as a zombie.

But this isn't some 30-minute thrill ride. The game lasts all night. Basically, this is one huge game of tag for adults. What more could you really ask for?

There will be specially designed tear-away patches. Once your patches are gone, you're a zombie. Feel free to turn on your friends and dine on their flesh (read: Their patches).

Yes, this is the type of thing I post on my mortgage blog because it's real estate related.

That is awesome!!!

Someone would ruin the fun, I just know it. Lawyers, violent players, or competition, but someone will ruin it.

Here's another, although not quite so cool, real estate related post.

800 pounds of pennies used to pay off a guys mortgage. "He says his messages to his children have been: “If you say your going to do something, you do it,” and “Pennies add up.”"

A penny saved . . .

Who says real estate is boring"

I agree that someone will ruin the theme park. If nothing else MAZ (Mothers Against Zombies).

Making dilapidated buildings safe to enter over 200 acres sounds rather expensive.

SEE! There's one of those naysayers trying to ruin our fun!

You need to join MAZ or DAZ and get the bumper sticker so that we can be warned about you.

Here's what I want to know. In real life, you could run over zombies, beat them back, or use fire...lots of fire.

With real people acting like zombies, all your able to do is outrun them or hide.

It's in detroit, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that people will quit going to play with the zombies inside after a bunch of folks get robbed by the zombies outside.

Charles and the other city council idiots will ruin it. They'll say that this them park says only zombies will want to live in Detroit. Or there are too many/not enough minorities playing zombies. Or something else stupid.
I'd love to see it happen, I just fear the elected officials will shoot themselves in the foot again.

Use bums as zombies. They already smell bad, probably have some blood on them, shamble about (at least when inebriated to some extent) and will work cheap. To make it more realistic, don't pay them in money, pay them in food. They catch you, they get a cheeseburger. Zombies get to eat when they catch you, only its brains instead of a big mac. I figure it would work out well, and give the otherwise transient population of portions of d-town something to do.

There's a huge old hotel here in Brownwood that would make a PERFECT soft air/Zombie Apocolypse gaming center. Start at the bottom and make your way to the top for rescue. Give the poor bored kids here something to do.

Zombie Apocalypse LARPing in Detroit. Sounds like a HUGE untapped revenue stream.

Wait. Not really.

I've played a zombie scenario Airsoft game before. Was awesome right up until I blew up my ankle.

So how will I be able to tell the zombie theme park from the rest of Detroit?

Maaan, lighting a zombie on fire is a bad idea, until it turns them to ash you've got a walking firebug.
