WAR ! ! !


The rules of the game are simple. If a person gets hit, they must hold up their hands and move to the Dead Zone. The Dead Zone is located on the outskirts of the battlefield. After getting hit, visitors must make their way up one of the many ramps leading into the Dead Zone. From there, they can move up and down the Dead Zone, viewing the action from behind one way panels of glass. Positioned in towers high above the action is a group of staff members that monitor the kills they see. The contrasting paint is clearly visible on the suits, and if someone continues to fight despite the fact that they’ve been hit, the staff member will disarm their weapon using the transmitter gun. Robin Hood sympathizers begin the battle in Sherwood Forest. The forest contains many artificial trees, rocks, bushes, ramps, huts, dips, and countless other objects that make Sherwood Forest what it is. In contrast, Sheriff sympathizers begin the battle inside Nottingham Castle. They too will have their own collection of objects such as wagons, watchtowers, bridges, exc. that can be used as cover. Another duty of staff members is to further simulate war by controlling such actions as falling trees and blowing debris in the air. The battlefield is so massive and littered with obstacles that at the start of the battle, no side can see the other. A side can only win the war by capturing the other sides’ flag and bringing it back to their side.


The main purpose of the theme park is to simulate the exhilaration of war in an authentic and safe environment. This thrill alone is enough to inspire guests to return, and with more people.
