Tweet

Last month Electronic Arts announced it had partnered with the theme park Great America to create a 4D Mass Effect theme part attraction.

Now Electronic Arts has announced that it has teamed up with another theme park, the Carowinds theme park in North Carolina, to bring the Plants Vs. Zombie franchise to life. The "intra-active 3D game experience" is called Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare: 3Z Arena and will open in Spring 2016.

"The attraction allows players to interact with the opposing team's screen," said Electronic Arts. "Guests will step inside the state-of-the-art Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare: 3Z Arena complex decked with 3D 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."

The attraction features:

• 68 motion-based seats equipped with hand-held laser devices
• Nearly 3,600 square-foot arena
• Two 14'6" x 26' screens with independent 5.1 surround sound
• The attraction will run approximately ten times per hour to accommodate between 600-700 people
• 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 the Action Theater, in the County Fair section of the park
