Theme Park Rangers IAAPA: Florida company develops 'Walking Dead' ride

Fans of "The Walking Dead" may come face-to-decomposing-face with creatures from the televised zombie drama in an amusement park ride being developed by a Florida company.

Jacksonville-based Sally Corp. is showing off elements of its "4-D" dark ride called The Walking Dead: Battle for Survival at this week's gathering of the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions — aka IAAPA — at the Orange County Convention Center.

"This will be a six-passenger kind of anchor attraction, motion-based vehicles, virtual and practical sets and scenery," said Rich Hill, creative director. Not to mention dozens animatronic walkers, the TV show's term for zombies.

"You are a survivor of the zombie apocalypse, and you are trying to gain entrance into a camp," Hill said of the ride's storyline.
