Universal’s The Walking Dead opens on Monday

The Walking Dead

The Walking Dead comes alive at Universal Studios Hollywood on Monday, July 4, and from the look of the pictures below, expect to be terrified!

The new walk-through attraction is based on AMC’s record-breaking TV series. If you’ve never seen it, the show tells the story of survivors in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by hordes of terrifying flesh-eating walkers! It will debut its seventh season this year.

And it looks as if the flesh-eating walkers have made it to Hollywood. Look at these pictures…

Greg Nicotero, executive producer, says: “After six years of working on The Walking Dead, we have a great opportunity to take it out of the studio, off the soundstage and into an attraction at Universal Studios Hollywood where guests can come face-to-face with walkers.

“It’s very exciting to be able to make the attraction as 100 per cent authentic as possible. We’re getting the chance to utilise moulds that were created specifically for the show and translate them into parts of the attraction.  We’re creating animatronic walkers that guests will be able to see…it’s never been done before….it’s one-of-a-kind, state-of-the-art….and I can’t wait.”

The Walking Dead attraction, not recommended for guests under 13, is in a custom built structure just inside the theme park’s main entry.

A one-day ticket to Universal Studios Hollywood is from £66 per adult and £62 per child. To book visit Attraction Tickets Direct
