The Walking Dead Gets a Theme Park Attraction
The Walking Dead will now be an ongoing part of Universal Studios Hollywood, with a year-round Walking Dead attraction coming to the Los Angeles theme park this summer. The attraction was first announced on Talking Dead Sunday night.
For the past four years, The Walking Dead has been a part of Universal’s seasonal Halloween Horror Nights, featuring elaborate mazes based on the hugely popular TV show, and its inclusion has been frequently credited for greatly increasing attendance to the already successful Horror Nights events. The ongoing attraction sounds like it will be a similar experience, as far as an attraction guests to the park walk through, rather than a ride.
The Walking Dead executive producer/director Greg Nicotero and his special effects company, KNB Efx, have partnered with Universal Studios Hollywood for the attraction, with Nicotero’s team constructing prosthetics, using original molds from the series, for the walkers that will be a part of the attraction.
Walking Dead’s Melissa McBride Discusses Carol’s Brutal Episode
Full spoilers for The Walking Dead continue below.
Don't ever underestimate Carol Peletier, or it may cost you your life. That's the lesson characters have learned again and again on The Walking Dead as Melissa McBride's character has come into her own over the seasons, evolving into arguably the best developed and executed character on the AMC series.
The latest episode, "The Same Boat," once again put Carol front and center after some of Negan's people captured her and Maggie (Lauren Cohan). Carol quickly slipped into "cowering Carol" mode to protect her pregnant friend, but it soon became unclear whether she was actually as emotional as she seemed or whether it was all an act.
