Zombie Theme Park in Detroit, Michigan USA

WTF is it with this zombie obsession so many people seem to have?

From a money making pov, a zombie theme park in Detroit will do just fine. Especially when you consider how often Detroit has been the focus of apocalypse/doomsday type movies.

In r/l, it seems Detroit is playing out the way it has been depicted. I hope the good people of Detroit will benefit from such fantasies.
 
Hmm. I'm all for zombies, but it seems a little one dimensional. Maybe if they added a vampire cove, or a mummy haven......
 
Why would people who live near Detroit pay to see violence?
 
Hit the streets after mid-night and tell me that you don't feel the hairs stand up on the back of your neck and that we already have a Zombie paradise inhabited by the flesh eating living dead.....

In summer, the college kids go home and we roll up the streets and turn out the lights at 9PM...



:D ;) ;)

... 9:30 when the river boat is docked. Those old people like to party...

All weekend AMC apparently teased us with a 'Walking Dead' marathon leading up to last night's new 'Talking Dead' epi plus the first episode featured in B&W. I got excited and then realized season 3 doesn't start until October.

Since they had so many experts I thought they mighta mentioned this new zombie theme park notion a bit. The makeup artists alone must be geeked as hell about all this spreading.

The pro about it being in Detroit is that they could use an attraction like this to pep up the city (heh) plus it's rather gloomy there, no? I can see Donald Trump building a new posh movie studio in SoFLA and a zombie world built in Detroit. No offense.

But how would a zombie theme park work? I've never been to Fright Nights in Orlando around Halloween but I have been to many Ren. Faires. Some people take it all so seriously that I bet it'd be hard to tell a zombie park employee from a zombie ticketholder from an on-the-verge zombie and so on.
 
I don't see it happening. I know the area of Detroit they want to use. The cost of renovating the buildings enough to make them remotely safe for people to play and hide in would be insane. Hell they can't even keep up the old fort up. Plus there would have to be waivers signed incase someone gets hit with a stray...

Interesting tidbit.

Last night they showed a completely fabricated prison made basically out of scratch in Atlanta. Everything was new... right down to dirty toilets and prison cells you'd never wish to be in. But none of it was real. Just Hollywood stuff.

The overhead for a new theme park must be enormous, but if these zombie-makers can make do with an empty lot(s) in Atlanta... well, you never know.

Actually it would probably be cheaper to level a few blocks and rebuild then try and renovate. Some of these factories are 2-3 miles square, maybe even bigger. They could buy an abandoned factory or warehouse and build a city block. Kind of like a sound stage.

Well, just like in Atlanta I bet a few city blocks are ready for the big time overhaul to go along with the huge 200 plus acred area. Something, anything for Detroit.

"Hey grrrl, wuts up?"

"Detroit! Zombi land"
 
That vacant 200+ acred space discussed in here last year...

Well, I voted for it to become another Swap Shop as in flea market *circuses, live acts, carnival rides, swapping, sharing, first run movie time area.

The drive-in theatre stuff was there but I forgot how cold it gets in that area.

Turns out, Zombies might run it all...

In Detroit, the Zombies are found at the polling place
