Plants vs. Zombies: Z-Tech War-Tech!

Plants vs. Zombies: Z-Tech War-Tech! is a duelling Roller-Coaster ride based on the video-game franchise, Plants vs. Zombies. Similar to Battlestar Galactica: Human vs. Cylon in Universal Studios Singapore, it provides riders and guests to experience 2 different track paths to take on: The "Plants" and the "Zombies".



This is currently the 2nd amusement park ride to be based on Plants vs. Zombies, with the 1st being the now-defunct Plants vs. Zombies: 3Z Arena, a 3D experience ride that operated at Carowinds from 2016-2022.

Ride plot
The following events take place between Garden Warfare 2 and Battle For Neighborville.

In the Z-Tech Warehouse, Dr. Zomboss and his large group of zombies have created an "mega-upgraded" version of the Zombot from the first game, as it has now been upgraded with features such as generating zombies, indestructible steel, faster movement and laser-eyes.

Davebot-1000 and the L.E.A.F. Agents however know of this news through secret spies and inside information. Now with the help of the guests, Crazy Dave, Nate Timely and Patrice Blazing have decided on a plan to raid the Z-Tech Factory in order to destroy the Zombot.

The queue
The normal queue winds about the inside of Crazy Dave's house, Zen Garden and finally into his large high-tech garage. Inside the house, guests may find several different references to the franchise, such as like the TV playing several different trailers and animations for Plants vs. Zombies or several different characters from various PopCap games (eg. Peggle) on the frames. The "Universal Express" queue skips Crazy Dave's house and guides guests into the backyard and the final queue segment of the Zen Garden.

The ride
The ride starts out facing the garage doors, when the screen on each car turns on to reveal Crazy Dave, Patrice Blazing and Nate Timely explaining the plan about how Zomboss has a great threat, and they will have to stop it. Soon, the garage doors open and the coaster jumpstarts across the neighbourhood and into the mountains, before making several different twists into the Z-Tech Warehouse. At this point, a "duel" happens between both coasters as they twist around each other. Eventually, the Zombot emerges after the Zombies' side of the coaster manage to activate it. The coaster makes dips and turns to dodge its moves as it rampages across the warehouse. Finally, the coaster bursts through the back of the Zombot's head, exploding it. However, the zombies' side of the coaster "knockdown" the coaster in retaliation. Lucky, the coaster throws a Cherry Bomb to trick Zomboss and makes it back safe and sound.

The queue
The normal queue starts out in a hangar bay of the Z-Tech Warehouse, where several crates and metal storage crates can be seen. Then, guests will enter a room with several different futuristic computers and digital screens displaying the mission to unleash the Zombot. Finally, the guests will enter a mess-hall like room where many zombies can be seen scanning the perimeters above the room. The "Universal Express" queue guides guests to a narrow winding shortcut to the mess-hall, guests can also see digital screens and portraits of various zombies on the hall.

The ride
The ride starts out in a dark room where Dr. Zomboss broadcasts a message on both the screens on the cars and the room itself, explaining his plan about using his "ultimate mega-upgraded Zombot" to take over the world, decimate the plant population and finally get his taste on brains. However, he soon gets reports on there being a high level of plant activity outside the Z-Tech Warehouse, sending the mad undead doctor into a panic, as he soon starts the coaster to immediately dispose of the plants. Eventually, the coaster starts to make several twists and turns to quickly find the plants around the warehouse. Eventually, the coaster spots them and soon starts to make many dips and turns to activate the Zombot. However, despite its' abilities and the coaster's constant movement, the plants' side of the coaster manage to defeat it. Zomboss orders the coaster to "knockdown" the plants' side of the coaster to ensure it will not escape, prompting the coaster to go over the plants' coaster track. Zomboss hears the sound of an explosion and starts to celebrate thinking he has won.

Universal Studios Beijing version
Although the ride and story is the same, the location and setting was changed to Sky City, an area exclusively found in the Chinese Version of Plants vs. Zombies 2. Dialogue, as well as the title (植物大战僵尸：战争！在天空之城; pinyin: Zhíwù dàzhàn jiāngshī: Zhànzhēng! Zài tiānkōng zhī chéng; english: Plants vs. Zombies: War! On Sky City), has also been changed to fit the location and setting



The reason why this change was made is mostly because the Garden Warfare spin-off series is not as/very popular as it is in other countries.
