LAND
Hell Survivors Paintball Playfield was not designed for the weak. Hell Survivors has the world’s largest walk-in, self-serve air station. It has been voted the #1 Air Station in the industry. While paintball here is challenging and fast-paced, safety is also a priority. Paintballs are not made of paint but, instead are soft gelatin capsules that contain vegetable oil and food coloring. These capsules are non-toxic and biodegradable
