Abstract: The Zamolodchikov $mathcal{W}_3$-algebra $mathcal{W}_3^c$ with central charge $c$ has full automorphism group $mathbb{Z}_2$. It was conjectured in the physics literature over 20 years ago that the orbifold $(mathcal{W}_3^c{)}^{mathbb{Z}_2}$ is of type $mathcalW(2,6,8,10,12)$ for generic values of $c$. We prove this conjecture for all $ceqfrac559pm7sqrt7665795$, and we show that for these two values, the orbifold is of type $mathcalW(2,6,8,10,12,14)$. This paper is part of a larger program of studying orbifolds and cosets of vertex algebras that depend continuously on a parameter. Minimal strong generating sets for orbifolds and cosets are often easy to find for generic values of the parameter, but determining which values are generic is a difficult problem. In the example of $(mathcal{W}_3^c{)}^{mathbb{Z}_2}$, we solve this problem using tools from algebraic geometry.
