This could be interesting: Source: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2168161/Detroit-hit-flesh-brain-eating-zombie-apocalypse-live-action-terror-theme-park-pushed-through.html?ito=feeds-newsxml Detroit to be hit by flesh and brain-eating zombie apocalypse (but only if live-action terror theme park plan is pushed through) Derelict areas of Detroit face being taken over by hordes of 'flesh and brain-eating zombies' if an ambitious business plan takes off. Entrepreneur Mark Siwak wants to create live-action terror theme park 'Z World' on Motor City's run-down and abandoned streets. Customers would pay to be chased by professional actors and try to seek shelter in ghostly homes, factories and businesses. Detroit has become known in recent years for pioneering 'creative solutions' like urban farming and pedestrian-friendly greenway trials. Soaring budget deficits and a declining population has forced businesses and the authorities to 'think outside the box'. And Siwak, who has raised $2,200 of the $140,000 needed through fundraising website IndieGoGo, said his theme park could be the perfect solution. He told CBS Detroit: 'The city can only have so many urban farms or similar uses for vacant plots.' And he revealed he is already receiving CVs from hundreds of residents keen to work at the tourist attraction. He added: 'While zombies are great, the real neat thing about this project is the potential to inject some life into a forgotten neighbourhood - with the opportunity to work with neighbourhood groups and organisation'. The project would follow in the footsteps of Atlanta Zombie Apocalypse, where thrill-seekers wield paint ball guns to play hide-and-seek with undead zombies in a formerly abandoned truck stop.

I'm not sure how 140K will get it done but it's a hell of an idea. Of course trying to get an insurance company to back it will be tough considering the level of potential violence. I'd go at least once. http://www.vibe.com/zombie-theme-park-detroit

The trouble with theme parks is that they can go horribly wrong...

The way Detroit is going, the entire city could be a zombie themepark in a few years. That poor old town has been hit bad.

It is weird that in the article they show a picture of the William Livingston House, which was torn down in 2007.
