We went on this ride over the labor day weekend 2008. I have to say since the last person'..s review of the ride in 2004 things have changed. We went on since we were given a coupon for $2.00 off and we specifically went to Wildwood to go on the dark rides at the pier. So we figured $5.00/person wasn'..t that bad. Wow, we were wrong.
First off they give you these 3D type glasses that either haven'..t been cleaned in a long time or something was wrong with their cleaning machine/disinfectant spray. Mine was still oily and I couldn'..t see through the lenses at all. But whatever, it is only advertised as a 3D ride. I have been on many, many 3D rides/movies in this country and have never gotten such a dirty pair.
Secondly, the laser type guns do not work. My gun had the laser light on the whole time. Didn'..t matter if I pulled the trigger or not. NO noise, no surprise. Just hold the laser light up. What fun! The other gun seemed to go off when the trigger was pulled and made some type of shooting noise. So I thought, hey mine will be on the whole time, I'..ll have a higher score and beat the pants off my fiance. Wrong! There were no targets, nothing to aim and shoot at. There were zombies everywhere and I figured your supposed to shoot them and something would happen. Nope. Just the annoying laser beam that wouldn'..t shut off. I was aiming like a sniper at these zombies with an annoying red beam. So I put the gun down and tried to enjoy the rest of the ride minus the glasses, minus the gun.
The ride in itself is creative and this is why I would give it a 5 rating. The zombies were popping out of everywhere. I loved the part where the smoke was blown behind me. Made us jump. However, there was a lot more attention to detail on the outside of the ride then inside the actual ride.
I wouldn'..t recommend this ride to anyone. If you want to see dark props just hang out in the lobby for free. You'..ll see more and actually save yourself some $.
FYI, we never did receive that actual piece of paper with our scores on it like the other reviewer wrote about a couple years ago. Nor is there a web site zombieworld.net.
