The Walking Dead Escape returned for its second year at Petco Park during Comic-Con and did not disappoint. The event featured a brand new course, more zombies, and new locations from the TV series. We had a couple of Daily Dead staffers run through the course and have photos and videos to share.
"The Walking Dead Escape allows fans to live out the events from the groundbreaking, Emmy-award winning and top-rated AMC series, which is based on Robert Kirkman’s Eisner Award-winning best selling The Walking Dead graphic novels and comic book series.
There are three ways to participate in this epic adventure. Participants can be a Survivor and race through the zombie infested evacuation zone; a Walker who becomes one of the undead, embracing the inevitable; or a Spectator who watches the apocalypse from sidelines at the Escape Party. The KNB EFX team will transform those who sign up to be Walkers into the most terrifying zombies to grace San Diego. Registration is now open atwww.TheWalkingDeadEscape.com.
Survivors will climb, crawl and slide in an effort to avoid confrontation by hordes of Walkers, while achieving the ultimate adventure on The Walking Dead-themed obstacle course. The Walking Dead Escape is not a race, and Survivors are not timed, but the end is near, and they must move swiftly. If they’re lucky, Survivors will reach the decontamination zone at the end where it will be determined if they have been infected."
We want to thank Kristian and Fernanda Hanson for the videos and photos below. The second video is courtesy of ThemeParkHD, who recently shared it with us. We've been told that there are plans for ten new events over the next year and we'll let readers know more as soon as we hear anything.
