IAAPA 2016: Triotech announces plans for Fear the Walking Dead attraction in Las Vegas

POSTED 16 Nov 2016 . BY Tom Anstey

The attraction will be based on the spin-off of AMC's hit Walking Dead, popular as a visitor attraction in its own right

Triotech has announced it’s teaming up with AMC to deliver a new attraction in Las Vegas based on Fear the Walking Dead.

Coming to the world-famous Fremont Street, the media-based walkthrough attraction is the first ever to be based on the Walking Dead spin-off - a brand which has proved popular as an attraction for the likes of Universal Studios.

The completely immersive attraction, dubbed 'Fear the Walking Dead - The Experience', starts at the entrance and takes visitors on a journey through the Walking Dead’s world, putting guests in similar situations to that seen on the zombie survival show.

“AMC has created an amazing IP in Fear the Walking Dead and we’re really excited to be working with that brand,” said Triotech president and CEO, Ernest Yale. “This walkthrough attraction really will be a first of its kind.”
