Don't worry about being unoriginal. The theme park motiff is perfect it's 
just parallel development. Our themepark adventure was set in DisneyLand in 
south California. It included mutated animals from the zoo like area, 
pirates of the caribbean. And the spookiest of rides, It's a Small World. 
There was a gang of kidnapped children (Mouseketeers) that were controlled 
by a former employee turned crazy guy. He was one of the characters (The 
Mouse) before the bombs. He worked for Walt's frozen head. TWhen the posse 
first entered Main Street USA, a massive illusion took effect. The place 
looked all cheery and happy. Players failing a spirit world thought it was 
real, but the happy tourists were all walking dead. The illusion ends with a 
child saying "Look Mommy an airplane." and a bright flash of the ghostrock 
bomb. Our posse like the adventure and since then they never wade through 
waist deep murky water.
