Super excited for this! We only have Thursday badges, so we have some time to try for this ;D (SDCC badges weren't required, were they?)
Here's the text from the email they sent:
SUBJECT: Did everyone at Westworld get fired?
If not, you're about to. I never got a response on the asset retrieval from San Diego and the vendor shipped everything to us in sleep mode. There's one stored in my office right now. I don't know how you guys do this--even if they're not real, they're real creepy.
New York City is coming up. How do you want to handle? Proceed with the roadshow as planned? Nobody has run a diagnostic on these hosts in months and I'm not sure how they'll perform once they get out there. And truthfully, after a few select San Diegan black hats, some of the hosts could use a Body Shop tune up.
If I don't hear from someone in the next 15 minutes, we're moving forward and shipping these out. One Mesa filled with lazy, unresponsive a**h***s doesn't stop the show.
The text "New York City is coming up" contained a link: https://discoverwestworld.com/# (https://discoverwestworld.com/#)

Not sure where this was located, but here's some more info about the procedures. Sounds like they don't want people camping out like at SDCC, so they're changing up the appointment desk location each day.

Seems like too much work!

It is, but so worth it!

For anyone that did this at SDCC, would it be appropriate for a 10 year old? Obviously the show is not but how about the "experience"?

The Westworld Twitter account tweeted that it's only open to NYCC badge holders. Wasn't the one at SDCC open to the public?
Being that we only have Thursday badges, I asked them if we would only be able to participate on Thurs. They replied that NYCC badge holders can participate any day.
Also, a friend on Twitter said that Westworld DM'ed him and gave him a spot at the experience. Has this happened to anyone else, or has anyone else heard of this happening?

Anyone planning on trying this tomorrow morning? I’m riding solo to the con for half the day tomorrow and am debating just waiting for the location of the reservation desk first thing

They said the location will be revealed at 8am and reservation desk opens at 9am so depending on your schedule for the day...I'd say go for it? Idk I have work so I think the only day I can try for it is Sunday

Longitude is -74.006280, but I have no idea where the sign up is at

I'm pretty confident based on that video I found the block it's going to be on for tomorrow - I thought the hint was kind of too easy like too many people will find it ahead of time but maybe not?
-
Hint: its at a school nearby.(at least based off my guess). Is the signup always going to be at 9AM? it kind of messes with the queue line to get into the showfloor early.

ooooo I'm thinking one block off of that. Location reveal at 8am and sign up opens at 9am yeah

Looks behind Javits

The location looks like it's near FIT or SVA, but I might be off.

Thanks everyone. I missed the video before. I think I got it. Going to be lurking in the area around 8

I just went off the map and waited before 8. There was a small line. They confirmed with us at 8 just before they released on twitter

How early did you get there? Going to try for Saturday or Sunday and just want to prepare. Missed it by a few people at SDCC if we had just gone a bit earlier we would’ve gotten in so I don’t want that to happen again haha

I arrived in the line at the location we thought from the map in the clue around 745. It turned out to be the correct line. I was about 30 people in and the standby was even capped by 815. Try to figure out the location for the clue tonight and arrive early. Very cool experience

I did at 1pm. Even met a fellow cult member. They serve liquor so keep that in mind when you are choosing a time.
-
One other thing to add.
They DO let standbys in but they apparently don't get the full experience (nor the hat).
-
Just curious- is the experience limited to something like 100 people per day as it was at SDCC 2017? I was really expecting them to up their daily handling capacity for NYCC.

It seems like 9 ppl every time slot and time slots are every half hour so probably around 200?

Miraculously I was hanging out on the same street as today's location when the tweet went out (I just guessed it would be above the Javits today since it was below yesterday), so I'm waiting to get my reservation for today.

Congrats to everyone that did it. I was fortunate enough to get a press spot for it on wednesday night.
I know [member=2339]NCDS[/member] also covered the event for FOCC and I am sure she will be providing a full experience write-up.
Here is my, spoiler full, write-up if anyone is interested

but be sure to check out anything put out by FOCC

I did. Where should I be looking for this "manhattan edition?"
BTW, the hat is so big and I had enough luggage I was not about to carry it on or wear it so I shipped it back. The box came crushed so I was so so sad BUT when I actually opened it up the hat was perfect!!! :D
-
it would be fairly large on the inside band on the other side of the westworld stamp. there is one on ebay that has one the only one i've seen
I would have worn the hat. Not leaving my sight

Can you provide a link it? I'm totally curious now.

Mine does not say Manhattan anywhere. Nor did it have those tags.
