Have fun you three!
I am looking forward to see many pictures and the Doctor vs Zombies Survival Video.

The only cameras they're allowing on the Walking Dead course are Go Pro cams, which sadly I cannot afford, so I guess there will just be some before and after shots... unless anyone else we're doing our 'wave' with has a Go Pro!

There were professional photographers on the course of the Walking Dead Escape who will hopefully have some shots of us nerds getting exhausted whilst being chased by zombies, but in the meanwhile I found two guys with GoPro cam videos of our group.
See if you can spot me, Sarah and Kris as we run, climb, crawl and stagger for our lives. You can spot us easily by looking for Sarah's bright red hair and my tweed jacket!
First guy (who runs right into Sarah near the beginning of the course!)

Second guy (who is right behind me / with me for a fair bit of time... around about 12:20 on his first video I start getting a bunch of people shouting "GO DOCTOR!" at me :lol)

In that first video, at six minutes, we can see the Doctor lead the way down a stairway of ravenous zombies. It looked so surreal, and yet I can't help but imagine such a sight must've been of some significant comfort to your fellow geeks: "Follow the Doctor!"
Well played, Jen! :lol
Dasquian Belargic
Jul 17th, 2012, 02:33:11 PM
About as comforting as anyone can be when they're fleeing in terror I guess :lol

I LOVE the bit where you just go down the staircase cool as a cucumber whilst your fellows cringe (and pant for breath) in fear at the top. Awesome! Looks like it was a blast. I would have peed myself - people pretending to be zombies are my GREATEST fear in the world. I suppose actual zombies would top that. :ohno
More videos to watch, i just watched the first one. :D

It was so much fun (even if Sarah did get infected), but it was hot as hell and totally exhausting. A painful reminder of how out of shape we are ^_^;

Watching those back, I notice more and more of the photographers dotted around the course... :ohno

Jul 17th, 2012, 04:57:57 PM
Okay, after watching those I went out into the wild interwebs and found this: http://2.8hourslater.com/
I really want to go to the one in Manchester at the end of September. By the sounds of it though, I better hit the gym! :uhoh

AHAHA XD I still have bruises from that guy landing on me.
And yay for the guy working there saying the zombies will love me because of my hair. :lol
Our commentary is hilarious. "Oh Jesus Fucking Christ" ...classy, Jones.
Lilaena De'Ville
Jul 17th, 2012, 06:21:14 PM
It looked like a lot of fun. I'm sad there's no footage of Zombie Sarah! Is it at the Quarantine tent where she/you turned and ran back into the course? I'm not clear on how that works. :)
Emelie Shadowstar
Jul 17th, 2012, 06:26:26 PM
it's at the very end. They walked you through a quarantine tent where you were scanned with black lights. Everyone else got ushered out I guess...whereas they shuffled me off into a room with another zombie sitting there grabbing at me while a guy in a hazmat suit was all "Don't worry, there's nothing he can to do you that isn't already done. Now...you have two options...I can put you down... or you can run out and risk infecting everyone."
XD a quick glance at the fake gun on the medical tray next to me and I basically was all "Renegade option! See ya!" and ran out and joined the others in the afterglow.

haha, that sounds awesome. :D I wonder how many people were like "ok I guess shoot me?"

This made me laugh :D
How long was this course? The people videoing were so slow! Were you not allowed to just book it?

There are videos of people running the whole thing in about 15 minutes. There wasn't anyone in our group of that fitness level though, as far as I could tell :lol

Yup! We also would have benefited from carrying some weapons... even just a cricket bat to shove zombies away with!
Here's another thing we did:
<object width="560" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ClRDt69Ty9o?version=3&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ClRDt69Ty9o?version=3&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>
We're sitting in the centre of the front row, so you can see Sarah's hair pretty much anytime the camera is on the three of them.
And another thing we went to :partyhard
<object width="560" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/aH8yPGu-AF0?version=3&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/aH8yPGu-AF0?version=3&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

LOL! If brains were a requirement she'd have left me a looooong time ago. I'm not the sharpest crayon in the box.

Here's another thing we did:
I don't know crap about Doctor Who, but I would have totally gone just because I absolutely adore Zac Levi... I might very much have run onstage to hug him if I had been sitting in the front row.
