Dorney Park Zombie Invasion wins Guinness Book Record!!

SHAW PROMOTION was a proud sponsor of the Dorney Park Zombie Invasion 2011 where we attempted to break the Guinness Book of World Record’s most costumed people (i.e. ZOMBIES!) on roller coaster over a timed period, and we won!  Beating the previous record of 300 people by producing 330 qualified contestants (out of hundreds) to smash the record in style.  Andy, myself, and two very willing friends were lucky enough to be on the inaugurated first ride, quickly being pushed off as soon as Steel Force came to a halt, with hundreds of zombies waiting to participate.  They offered affordable make up prices by special effects artists 3 hours before they opened Dorney Park to zombies only, kicking out the day crowd.  After riding the coasters for a few hours and watching probably one of the craziest metal shows I’ve ever seen that included a “suspension”, “pulling”, pyrotechnique chainsaws, and women shooting flames from their mouth, we dragged our exhausted selves to the closest refuge still open at 1 am in Pennsylvania, Waffle House.  We’d like to give a HUGE thank you to Doug Sakmann of NYC Zombie Crawl, Dorney Park and all of the staff for staying late and having a sense of humor, Danny and The Guinness Book of World Records, and all of the people who make the Zombie Crawl a culty success!
