the 2013 season. Nowadays, the brake runs simply allow the trains to run through the circuit without stopping. As The Walking Dead: The Ride, the brake runs stop the train once again at a certain point but have been modified to make the train jolt forward unexpectedly for a dramatic effect. Safety Since becoming The Walking Dead: The Ride, the ride's minimum height was increased from 1.2m to 1.4m, although the ride and its restraints have not changed in any way to merit this; the change is to assist with the recommended age restriction of 13+. Both seats in a row must be occupied as the design of the restraints mean that a lone rider in a row could slide out. Where feasible, a live actor "zombie" will fill empty spaces and attempt to scare their seat neighbour as the ride goes around, particularly at the on-ride photo.
