"The Walking Dead" Is Getting a Pop-Up Theme Park At ComicCon

Ever wanted to pay to run away from actors pretending to be zombies? You’ll have your chance in San Diego.

AMC has rented out Petco Park (as in, an entire stadium), where you can sign up to be a survivor, and scramble across cargo nets and other obstacles; a walker, where presumably you’ll snack on survivors; or a spectator.

The really ballsy part is that AMC expects you to pay for all of this. Tickets to be a survivor are running at $70 to $90 a pop, although we imagine that as scalpers buy them the cost will go up. There’s no “prize” announced just yet, but we’re a little skeptical a cable network would go to this much trouble and expect people to shell out that much money if there wasn’t something at stake beyond your ego.

Either that or they’re testing out “The Walking Dead Live!” for the general public. We really hope it’s not that.
