Firstly, the exterior. It's an endless concrete field of cattlepen! The queue moves incredibly slowly due to the preshow being a big bottleneck, meaning I had to queue 80mins in what looked like a 30min wait.
Spoiler
The preshow is short and sets up the experience, before you go through a series of corridors to the station. These corridors felt empty, with just some flashy red lights and dirty walls (I've heard there's more theming, but it was too dark to see/appreciate). There are some larger sets, which I'm sure are impressive, but it's so dark that you can't really see them.
The station looks the same but just dirtier with some muck over the safety signs.
The coaster begins, and most of it is in darkness. There are mannequins with clothes on the brake runs to look like "zombies", with a show sequence on the final one.
Once the coaster is actually over, you pass through the long exit corridors, which are just like the entrance ones.

Also to note is there was a sign saying there'd be actors inside this particular day, but our group didn't see any.
If it wasn't for the name, I wouldn't know it was "Walking Dead" themed either. The only references I noticed were a brief name drop of Negan, and the building being called the "safe zone". It should be pointed out that I've never seen the show, so there are probably more easter eggs that I just wouldn't understand.
All in all, I was incredibly disappointed with the ride! If I could sum it up in one word, I'd call it "empty". It doesn't have the same fun vibe that X had in it's later years, and not once did I feel even slightly nervous.
