AMC and TRIOTECH Partner to Bring “Fear the Walking Dead Survival”
Attraction to Fremont Street Experience in Las Vegas Summer 2017
Fans can immerse themselves in an electrifying zombie-themed, multisensory experience inspired by the hit AMC series
LAS VEGAS –July 11th, 2017 – Fremont Street Experience will soon be home to a new attraction, Fear the Walking Dead Survival,
scheduled to open summer 2017. Inspired by the hit AMC series,
thrill-seekers and zombie fanatics will enjoy this unique multisensory
experience that combines a thrill ride, escape room, maze, and
interactive gaming, all set against the horrors of a zombie apocalypse.
The attraction, in the heart of Fremont Street Experience, is in
partnership with TRIOTECH, a Canadian company who is a leader in
creating high profile, technologically-advanced interactive media-based
award-winning attractions.
“Fremont
Street Experience is always looking to create the optimum experience
for our guests, including tourists and locals alike. Among our many
other attractions and events such as SlotZilla and the Downtown Rocks
summer concert series, this new attraction will not only benefit
downtown Las Vegas, but the city as a destination,” said Fremont Street
Experience CEO and President, Patrick Hughes. “We’re excited to partner
with TRIOTECH, a leader in creating innovative and immersive attractions
in the entertainment sector along with AMC®, which is home to some of
the top rated, most critically acclaimed, fan-favorite programs on
television.”
The
groundbreaking attraction will feature elaborate sets, all-encompassing
audio and video, as well as high-tech motion simulator technology. Upon
entering into the "Fear the Walking Dead Survival" experience, guests
will find themselves in the setting of a temporary military facility set
inside a junior college amidst growing rumors of a zombie outbreak.
Brave souls will have to explore the inner-workings of the
military-controlled facility, which includes multiple zones and various
experiences, to face their fears and protect their lives against a
bloodthirsty hoard of the infected. Visitors will need to utilize their
survival skills and instincts to fight off the never-ending zombies to
hopefully escape back into the real world.
“Fremont
Street Experience is a tourist destination known for its unmatched
variety of entertainment, making it the perfect home for this
futuristic, immersive, interactive attraction,” said Ernest Yale,
President & CEO of TRIOTECH.
"We
are delighted to give the passionate fans of “Fear the Walking Dead”
such an unique on-the-ground experience that really captures the
physical thrills and intensity of emotion of the series,” said Linda
Schupack. EVP of Marketing for AMC and SundanceTV. “We hope that in
this instance, what happens in Vegas does not stay in Vegas and that
visitors will spread the “Fear!”
Fans
of the cult-following TV series, "Fear the Walking Dead™," will
immediately recognize many of the attraction's features, but even those
unfamiliar with the AMC® show," will love the fright-filled,
exhilarating attraction – only available at Fremont Street Experience. AMC’s “Fear the Walking Dead” is the second highest rated drama on cable TV and the fourth highest rated on cable overall in 2017.
