Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare: 3Z Arena
Coming to Carowinds in Spring 2016

Carowinds and PopCap Games, creator of some of the world's most beloved video game franchises, and an Electronic Arts Inc. studio are leading the charge as innovators in the amusement park industry by announcing a new digital experience. Carowinds will open the world's first intra-active 3-D game experience, Plants vs Zombies??? Garden Warfare: 3Z Arena, in spring 2016 - adding to the park's family line-up of thrills for all ages.



The new attraction, exclusive to Carowinds, will be based off the Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare franchise - a hilarious and over-the-top shooter videogame series that drops you into a crazy, all-out battle between plants and zombies in their fight for suburbia. The newest release from the franchise, Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare 2, will also launch spring 2016 and for the first time, zombies have taken over and plants are on the attack. Players will be able to join the battle with new characters including Super Brainz, a zombie super hero who thinks he's an 80's action movie star, and Citron, a bounty-hunting orange from the future.

An intra-active experience means the game allows players to interact with the opposing team's screen. Guests will step inside the state-of-the-art Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare: 3Z Arena complex decked with 3-D technology, massive screens, surround sound and motion-based seats, to enjoy outrageous and imaginative encounters with their competition. Teams will compete in the Plants vs Zombies universe during an almost five minute backyard battle, where they'll shoot screens with blasters and track their scores as they go.

Additional information on Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare: 3Z Arena includes:

- 68 motion-based seats equipped with hand-held laser devices
- Nearly 3,600 square foot arena
- Two 14'6" x 26' screen with independent 5.1 surround sound
- The attraction will run approximately ten times per hour to accommodate between 600-700 guests.
- Players will be able to purchase photos in the Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare: 3Z Arena retail store
- Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare: 3Z Arena will be located inside a transformed Action Theater, in the County Fair section of the park

Guests will be able to play all season long by purchasing a 2016 season pass or renewing their current season pass. For more information, click here.

Sooo... you sit there, the seats move, and you shoot at a screen? Its more of a 4d theatre with guns? Or am I missing something else here...

^seems to be the case.

this is bad

This is NOT worth it.

Its not worth life anymore

Do you guys think this is what Matt Ouimet really meant when he said that all Cedar Fair parks would eventually be getting a dark ride? If so, then I'm a little disappointed.

Can't wait until CP gets a 350ft tall version of this tho

I really don't know why people are complaining. CW got F325 last year and this year they are getting this AND a huge waterpark expansion.

CGA is getting something similar, but that's it and they also didn't get a giga coaster last year.

Oh no... this is even not a ride-through attraction. One letdown.

They'll attach it to Dragster instead of a drop tower.

^ Is that why TTD will get painted green? Shudder to think like that, as that Strata has a decent dragster racetrack themed area! Never destroy that atmosphere! Oh please...

If Carowinds' Action Theater is as bad as the one in CGA, I am fine with this. Replacing a substandard attraction with one that has the potential to be pretty good is a win in by book.

Video of the new ride and details.

When I look at the letter "Z", it literally makes me think of Zurg in Toy Story!
