This is an idea that's been rattling around the old noggin for the last year or so, and I thought I'd share it and see what everyone thinks. (Apologies if there's similar threads elsewhere that I haven't noticed.)
The basic premise is the construction of the Spencer mansion, the RPD building and the labs underneath both of them, as well as at least a few city blocks of Racoon City, in real life, for the purpose of creating an interactive, escape-the-room type scenario, only on a grander scale.
Anybody participating would be given a four day experience, as either a member of the S.T.A.R.S, the RPD homicide squad, or an Umbrella retrieval team.
Day one would focus on weapons training (all weapons would, of course, be paintball guns dressed to look like the weapons they're supposed to be), basic combat tactics, and familiarising yourself with the area; day two, for the S.T.A.R.S and RPD, working on the"Cannibal Killer" case that starts everything and doing some investigative work; for Umbrella, research on your target and infiltration of the city; day three, the first major outbreak and subsequent fight for survival; and day four, the desperate escape.
Along the way, you would encounter many of the characters and creatures from the first three games (depending on technological limitations, or course). You'd receive a uniform of your choice at the start that would be included in the price of the ticket and yours to keep after the experience ends (which would be useful for Halloween), and there would of course be various merchandise to purchase as well.
Before anyone points it out, I'm aware this is the definition of a pipe dream. It'd be way too expensive to create, and even if it could be built, Capcom probably wouldn't let the attraction use the license. I just like the idea of this happening.
What does everyone think?
