Auckland theme park Spookers joined the hordes of people mocking the unruly travellers on social media on Friday night but have since taken the video down, admitting their take on the saga "went too far".
The Auckland attraction posted a video on their Facebook page showing two zombies attacking oneof the family members, a man who claims his name is John Johnson, and killing him while shouting "die boy" and "time to go home".
The video, posted on Friday night, had already been viewed around 5000 times on Saturday morning but was then deleted.

While some thought it was funny, others believed Spookers has gone too far and is "inciting violence".
Spookers owner Julia Watson told the Herald that, at first, the video was meant as "a bit of a laugh" but, after reading feedback on Facebook, she realised it was "not suitable".
"It was as bit of a laugh but we do realise it was probably taking it too far," Watson said. "Some people thought that was taking it too far and we agree and have taken it on board."
The tourists, dubbed the unruly travellers, are said to be "hiding" in the Wellington hills, and claim to be "scared to move".
"We are a respectable family, we are a British family who have come here, as a Commonwealth country, to see New Zealand, to see the Hobbits and see the mountains," a member of the family told Newshub on Friday.
