The Zombie Theme park would seem like a scaled up version of those as it seems to have similar limitations (no weapons) and rules (if you lose your tags you become a zombie).
Even if it is a "completely unrealistic ... middle school project" or a "poorly thought out idea", the worst that could happen is that the people trying to put this together will learn a lot, and hopefully use that experience to try something awesome later. Considering what they are trying to put together, they clearly think this is awesome, and in that light I'd say it's worth the risk of doing.
Disclaimer: I'm from near Detroit. Not sure how much that changes my opinion on this, though.
Paintball guns could make this more interesting.
Near my city there's an airsoft field where weekend zombie events are organized. Basically, you assemble a group, pay the entrance, and a group of actors disguised as zombies attack you in the forest. Being paid actors, they play it real, safe, and "correctly" die when they should.
Aesthetically, the idea of a 'zombie theme park' is pretty weak. I get it; there's a lot of people who think zombies are the bees' knees. But a theme park dedicated entirely to them? You know how one dimensional zombies are? After running away from moaning, stumbling zombies for an hour, this would get boring as hell. And most people don't even commit to the acting (lame). Practically, what the hell is the matter wit…
It appears there is already a big demand for this sort of fun.
We've done that before, with old power stations and churches.
I don't think this project will be financially viable and a big liability on top of that..
