Make A Wish grants a Big Zombie Tour with a real walker
By Susie Graham
To see some locations where The Walking Dead was filmed is a wish for many fans, including one lucky Make-a-Wish kid who got his wish with a Zombie Tour.
Atlanta Movie Tours teamed up with Make-a-Wish to grant a wish for a boy named Joey who wanted to see locations from the hit zombie show The Walking Dead.
Atlanta Movie Tours offers several “Big Zombie Tours” that use actors from the show as guides to give great stories and behind-the-scenes information to the busloads of guests.
Kent Wagner is a featured walker from The Walking Dead and a guide for Atlanta Movie Tours. Today Kent was guiding a Big Zombie Tour 3 and got to spend time with Joey from Make-a-Wish. He posted about his experience on Facebook.
According to the Atlanta Movie Tours website, Big Zombie Tour 3 includes the following stops that Joey and Kent enjoyed today:
The fans asked…we answered. Now we offer even more iconic locations from our favorite show and yours…The Walking Dead. This time we head to the East to fill in all the missing locations from Big Zombie 1 and 2!
- 3 hours with an Insider who’s performed on set, starts from Cherokee Rose in Haralson, GA
- See for yourself if Glenn made it out from under the dumpster and where Nicholas met his demise
- Go back in time to Rick & Shane discussing the fate of poor Randall and where we last saw Sophia running off into the woods
- Sit and discuss the fate of mankind at the old Feed Building
- See where Gareth has his Bob-e-Que and much more!
Next: Highlighting Season 6 Walkers
It looks like Joey received an autographed walker photo from Kent and maybe a growling lesson. He might just show up in season 12 or 13 of The Walking Dead and become a guide for Big Zombie Tour 9 sometime in the future. Glad you had a great day with Joey, Kent! Thank you Atlanta Movie Tours and Make-A-Wish for bringing these two guys together!
