Detroit mayor's office on zombie theme park: "No"

Posted | Contributed by Jeff

A developer's proposal to create a zombie apocalypse theme park in Detroit's vacant and abandoned city blocks does not amuse city hall. A spokeswoman for the mayor's office says, "No," and offers no further comment.

Ha!

I wish I could "Vote Up" the mayor.


Well, I guess that idea is dead before it's even undead.

Given what's been going on in Michigan, the zombies would likely starve from lack of a food source...

Better shoot the proposal twice in the head to make sure it stays dead.

Well, I guess you have to "roll" with the punches. Oh wait, wrong thread.

That mayor had the Brrrrraiiiiinssss to shoot this idea in the head.


Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

Maybe they'll shift to Plan 9. I hear it's from out-of-town. :)

If I understand Michigan's "emergency manager" law correctly, once the city can no longer keep its finances in order, the Governor is permitted to appoint a zombie to run the town anyway...

Eggcellent. Ed Wood is smiling in his grave.

Touches on the Zombie thing - look at what people pay to do this. 

A Romp With The Undead

Might need to reconsider Mr. Mayor.

Those zombie runs are what I first thought of when the other thread was first posted. I first heard about it last year when they held one near Baltimore; a friend of mine had considered signing up. Doesn't really interest me much, but it seems like it would be fun.

I guess zombies are still cool. Here I thought the trend had peaked.

They always say, you can't keep a good zombie down.

^That's what zombies with stomach problems say about the humans.

I'm surprised they said no, the dystopian theming would really beautify that city!
