The Story

Savannah, Georgia is well known as being one of the most haunted cities in America. With a long history including pirates, yellow fever, and mass graves, it has long been the perfect storm to create some truly terrifying encounters.

Now, the dead of Savannah have been especially shifty and the eccentric mechanic Earl has recruited you into helping take out some of the zombies and ghosts that have just showed up.

After heading into the mechanic shop, ask about Earl's "secret project" and they'll let you into a back door. Follow that hall and Earl himself will address you and tell you what's going on.

Ride vehicle will be a robotic arm mounted on a 3 dimensional coaster track.

2 guns are for targeting ghosts, and 2 are for targeting zombies.

The front and back movement will lock in place when loaded in, but each gun will have a full range of motion left, right, up, and down

Your first location will be River St, where the undead have crashed through the storefronts and are terrorizing the river boat tour.

Next stop is the famous Pirate House. Here you'll find a lively crew of undead pirates causing havoc, while chained zombies grab at guests and tear down the building.

Upon arriving at Forsyth Park, a wedding by the iconic fountain is interrupted by necrotic activity. Guests come just in time to let the happy couple get away, and clean up.

For the final scene, you are brought to Bonaventure Cemetery, which seems to be the epicenter of all the ghoulish activity. While fighting off the largest horde yet, you come across a portal, which has been the cause of the undead rising. You are pulled in to battle against a particularly strong adversary before being pulled out last minute by Earl.
