Description[]
Six months after the zombie outbreak, independent training consultants promise the best zombie survival training money can buy... more or less...
It's Zday +6 months. The US government has taken back the continental states while clearing the remaining Canadian infestations. They license and sanction private companies to capture "un-live" subjects for target training. Dozens of independent training "companies" appear, promising the best training that money can buy.
Then there's ZAP... The Zombie Awareness Program.
Story[]
The United States government has re-taken the continental United States, and is actively engaged in clearing the remaining infested pockets of Canada. The government also licenses and sanctions private companies to capture "un-live" subjects and use them as practical targets during these training sessions. Dozens of independent training consultant "companies" spring up, promising the best training that money can buy...and then there's ZAP...The Zombie Awareness Program.
Run by George Savini and Tom Romero, two dudes who extensively studied the Zombie Survival genre long before the first outbreaks, the best word to describe ZAP would be "discount".

Queue and Facade[]
Guests would enter the queue of this house to the left of the entrance for Beetlejuice's Graveyard Revue. The queue would go to a backstage area behind the Disaster building, where the line would loop around multiple times before entering the Disaster building from the back. A queue video would play on one of the walls of the building.
Guests would enter the house through the exterior entrance of ZAP Headquarters, which had a zombie trap outside.

Trivia[]
- Tom Romero and George Savini are references to Dawn of the Dead, and Night of the Living Dead director George Romero, and Friday the 13th, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 and Dawn of the Dead makeup artist Tom Savini.
- The house has a brief mention of Dead Exposure in the queue video, saying Charlie McPherson's images were captured and analyzed by ZAP. This doesn’t mean they’re the same continuity however.
- This house was one of the first to be directly connected to events occurring in a scarezone: the power failure that causes the zombies to escape was caused by the Zombie Gras float crashing into the power lines outside.
