Paraphrasing Cyndi Lauper, Zombies just want to have fun. Being one of the Walking Dead is hard work, rising from the grave and lumbering around in search of fresh brains to eat. They deserve a break.
Last night, Dorney Park gave it to them with its first "Zombie Invasion". From 8PM to midnight, only "Zombies" were allowed to enter the park in an attempt to set a Guinness World Record for the most costumed riders on an amusement park attraction. The goal was to have 250 "Zombies" ride the terrifying Steel Force coaster. Of course, that's terrifying to humans, not necessarily to the Undead.
Dorney Park Night has to be as big an occasion for Zombies as Prom Night is for high schoolers. Makeovers and primping are a must. Dorney offered "Zombie Makeup Artists" at the park for $10 to $40. Price was logically dependent on how moldered away Zombie customers were coming in. "Igor has been in the ground for 50 years. He has rotted away to nothing. Better give him the $40 treatment."
Tickets were priced at $30 and only valid after 3:30 PM. One wonders how a hard-working Zombie is going to come up with $30 plus up to $40 for a makeover. After all, "you can't take it with you" (to the grave, that is). Zombies will have to do what teens have done for years to raise Prom money. Don't be surprised if the attendant at the Drive-Thru Window is missing an ear or a nose. Expect to pick up that new babysitter at the cemetery. It's all part of the Zombie Prom.
