The popular videogame franchise Plants vs Zombies is getting its own theme park ride at Carowinds in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Based on the over-the-top shooter series that drops a player into a battle between plants and zombies, the 3D experience exclusive to Carowinds has been set an opening date of Q1 2016.
Developer Popcap is creating a 3D experience dubbed ‘Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare: 3Z Arena’ game which will see two opposing teams of players in separate rooms sit in motion-based seats as they shoot at targets using handheld blasters.
As technology evolves, videogame experiences are becoming more and more integrated into theme park culture. Universal recently signed a deal with Nintendo to imagine the game developer’s videogame IPs as attractions, while a Mass Effect ride is being created for California’s Great Adventure and Ubisoft is working on its own theme park experience.
“We’re always striving to create new and unique ways for people to experience the Plants vs. Zombies universe,” said Jeremy Vanhoozer, senior creative director of Plants vs. Zombies.
“Our franchise is all about creating fun moments and doing things differently. This first-ever interactive Garden Warfare attraction from Carowinds will be unlike anything people have seen before and we can’t wait for them to experience it in 2016.”
