Zombie Paintball Adventure Review
http://www.zombieadventure.com
The fun part of this event was the story they wrote into it.
When arriving we sign up at a tent outside and sign injury wavers.
Then we watch a live (Taped) video where there is a chemical company and something has gone horribly wrong.
So we gear up in a white smock (Clothing protection) with rubber boots (For the mud).
Then we are given a "special" gun that will help kill zombies and rescue a trapped scientist.
We walk out onto a path where are story continues. The team leader has a fake pre-recorded radio where the voice on the other side is telling us where to g next. We pass by several areas where we see problems, damaged things, etc.
Then we hit the first Zombie attack. It's set up like a live action shooting gallery. Kill all zombies by shooting them in the head or they will never die.
The rest of the tour is a mixture of story zones and 3 more zombie attacks.
The final section is where we need to rescue the scientist, kill the zombies and blow up the lab.
There was a fun explosion at this point and that's when we learn we have won and saved the world.
Good points:
Great story, Good actors guides playing the rolls, creepy location, nice set and theming, good justification of out costumes.
Great idea over all!!!
Bad points:
We were told it was going to be close to 2 hours and we were limited to about 150 bullets, so conserve.
It was over in 30 minuets and I had not even used 20% of my bullets.
We were offered no "De-Fog" and with the humidity all of our masks fogged over instantly and we could see nothing.
There needed to be more zombies. The first round I saw 2. The second I saw 0. Third I saw 3. Forth I saw 2.
And they were too far away to know if we were making contact.
Needed glow in the dark paint balls cause of the low lighting.
The event was about $50. It lasted 30 min. That's almost $2 a min. For another $20 someone could spend a full day at Disney World.
But it's a very new concept and I am sure they are working out growing pains.
I am sure after some refinement it will be allot of fun.
But I was regardless, I was very disappointed it was over so quickly after being told it was over 90 min. |
