Paintball Central

We went to the zombie shoot again for the Halloween season. We have done this before so thought we woudl take or daughter. First of all the value is not as good as it once was. They also have no more practice area which was fun since all there is to do besides that is stand around. Also they allow people for 10.00 a head to cut the line which makes the people who paid in advance just wait longer. Offer that in one of the groupons for peats sake. Then the wait, they say 30 minuets to an hour and it was more like 3 hours. Plus they seem to cut down on the number of zombies to shoot at. Al lin all it was a much nicer experience the last time.

I went here for the Zombie Paintball experience after buying a groupon. I’ve never been to a more disorganized venue in my life. We arrived at 7 when the event opened and received numbered tickets for our group of 6. We received our numbers and sat down for a little while. Well, a ‘little while’ turned into 4 HOURS of waiting for our number to be called. We made a trip to the Bi-​Lo down the street to use the bathroom and grab food. What a scam! After waiting for 3 of the 4 hours, we debated asking for our money back. We decided that our time wasted was worth more than our money back… that was a mistake as well. When we were finally called, we walked to the back field and waited another 20 minutes to actually get on the truck. They had the nerve to try and sell us extra ammo for $ 5 when we were on the truck. The ride itself was the bigger disappointment. On my side of the truck there were MAYBE 4 zombies to shoot at. We rode through the track twice, but I probably had half of my one ammo pack leftover which was subsequently wasted. Do yourself a favor and go to Scarowinds. I’d rather sit in traffic on I-​77 waiting to get to Scarowinds than sit in a field in the middle of nowhere for 4 hours to shoot 8 zombies for 15 minutes.

This place is great. Staff is friendly. A tad pricey compared to others but worth the premium. Membership is 28/​month for unlimited play and air. Avoid Palmetto Hills down the road.
