Title: A WestWorld Roadshow is coming to San Diego
Post by: marvelmorris on June 29, 2017, 09:55:22 AM
I just received an email that stated WestWorld was bringing a Roadshow experience based on the Journey into Night narrative.  I am so pumped for this!

Awesome- I was wondering when Westworld would make an appearance.

Awesome, thanks for sharing!  Interesting that the panel is on Saturday late afternoon in Hall H.  I would've thought HBO would've put the panel right before/after GOT on Friday

Westworld fans can follow live coverage of the panel on Twitter from @WestworldHBO and use #WestworldSDCC to join the conversation. Sign up for special announcements at DiscoverWestworld.com.

(I totally had to re-read it a few times to find that as well - it's the last sentence on the linked page, and I was way too distracted by all the other intriguing news: like Reggie freaking Watts moderating the panel?!  :o )

Also, now that I'm at the WestWorld webpage, I can't find how to sign up for updates either...

As far as I can tell, there's no way to sign up for the Roadshow yet. The "no reservations currently" available message is referring to trips to Westworld itself - it's just their way of explaining why you can't book a trip to the park (instead of because it doesn't really exist).

Yeah I think that went up the night of the season finale IIRC.  That's a great website, with incredibly interesting stuff: like the waivers about signing over your DNA and such by agreeing to be a guest, talk about if you transfer your consciousness into another being/life form are you the same person, etc.
Really want to see where the DNA stuff goes on the show.

I read all of that stuff when the show first started airing so I don't remember where it is or if it's even still up.

At first I was happy I was a Libertine. I thought it meant i was a liberator..fighter of freedom for all how noble I thought.
Then i read the wiki definition:

"A libertine is one devoid of most moral or sexual restraints, which are seen as unnecessary or undesirable, especially one who ignores or even spurns accepted morals and forms of behaviour sanctified by the larger society."

and was less happy. ???

So I have a lovely gap on Saturday morning and I might try to do this. Wondering how early one would have to line up for it considering it's not quite as popular as Game of Thrones (though it is gaining speed).  Last year I waited 5 hours for the GoT off site and it wasn't worth it.  This nice Saturday morning gap, though, seems like a good place to put it.  Anyone else planning a time to line up for this?  Would be willing to team up like I did for GoT last year.

Also be mindful that the SDCC Unofficial Blog notes: "Appointments will be available each day on a first come, first served basis, with Sunday appointments being scheduled on Saturday."

So I would assume that there won't be any lining up on Sunday for the event.

So I found this via Facebook from another person:

"So I have confirmed the location of the signup it is the Hilton. The booth will be in the left hand side in the lobby in a little lounge area I talked to the guys who are. Involved with it. It will be thus-Sat".

Sign up is at 9am. I plan to do this Friday morning - if anyone wants to buddy up in line, let me know. Right now I have no idea how lines are for this or what time people are planning to start lining up for this event. I wish we had more information about how many appointments they are scheduling a per day.

Bayfront lobby if you are facing the doors in the lobby to go outside, it's located to the left of the lobby doors.

Bayfront lobby if you are facing the doors in the lobby to go outside, it's located to the left of the lobby doors.

I went all around the Hilton but didn't go inside. I forgot that people had said signups were inside. I was looking for some sort of banner outside. My plan for tomorrow is to hit up Westworld first and then run over to Bladerunner. Then stand in the GOT line to kill time.

The press got to go through everything today. It looks more like a display than an experience. Kind of like the Man in High Castle display from last year. Hm... doesn't look that big. I might put Bladerunner ahead of it then. That thing looks huge from the outside. They did say they would have a street from the movie.

Probably going for that intimate experience instead of the mass cattle drive most off sites are. Fits the show I guess. At least you make appoints instead of waiting in line all day gets it out of the way early if you make it or not.

The wristbands were given out at  11:30 pm yesterday. Our line group which started at 3 pm, did an epic regrouping, I was in bed since I wasn't planning to get back to the line till 1 am. And I got in a cab and he drove me a mile to the Hilton and I threw him a $20 bill for a $10 fare and ran to my line group. And was there in time for the wristbands handed out. All 8 people in our group got wristbands. It was a comic con miracle.

My host was confused by my answers, so she let me decide. I tried on the black hat but then changed my mind and went to grab the white hat, but she wouldn't let me. Your decision has been made she said. She gave me the wrong size though :(

I tried on the hat that was hanging, it was too small, size medium.
She says this is the Large and hands it to me and it's too big.
But the medium was too small it looked silly, so I went with the large.
I'm home now and see that it's actually an X large.

Agree - this offsite experience was totally worth it and my top get for this SDCC. 

On day one (Thursday) our entire group of 3 came out after the assessment in white hats. There were actually several different bands on the white hats. One was solid and one had a striped band. I was able to try on multiple white hats and she fit it for me perfectly.  But - no black hat for me.

Sadly, I was looking at ebay because we really had wanted to get the Westworld autographs and could not (what a mess).  People are posting those hats on Ebay for several thousand dollars.  Hopefully since they are doing this at NYCC - people will stop, ignore the adds and wait for a time when the hats are not so rare.

They can post it for whatever they want. Whether it sells or not is a different thing all together. Until at least one sells, they have no value. My limited experience with this stuff is the longer and longer after SDCC, the less and less demand there is. The Mr. Robot masks sold for a bit last year right after SDCC but then dropped to nothing quickly there after.

Ok, I just read about the one in NY - this one did NOT have VR, but did have a full on bar with drinks and activities that changed depending on your "task" or hat color etc.

There WERE different paths to take and jobs/tasks you could get: shoot-outs, poker games, and I got to mix a drink. One person a day was even chosen for "reprogramming" which sounded terrifying and fantastic too. And one young guy was talking about how he was kissed by a robot.

That's the way the guy who stood line with me described the NYCC one being like. In addition he said that random things would happen like some of the characters would "glitch" and people had to deal with it. The way he described it is pretty much the way you are describing it. I met him in line for the Bladerunner offsite at about 8am on Thursday morning. There's no way he would have known what the Westworld Offsite at SDCC would be at that point.

I sadly didn't get to go. I wasn't knocking it. I was pointing out that they did it first at NYCC last year in response to people saying they would do it again at NYCC this year. It would be really weird to do the same offset at a con two years in a row.

The NYCC westworld offsite was nothing like the SDCC westworld offsite.
Two completely different experiences, first one was vr based, the SDCC one zero vr.
I would love it if the SDCC version came to NYCC in a few months. I'd get in line first thing for it.

Well... he wasn't wrong about the details? He got all those right. This was before anyone at SDCC was able to do it let alone talk about it.

Could it have been like the Mr. Robot offsite at SDCC. 99% of the people had one experience. 1% had another.

The press got to do SDCC Westworld on Wednesday, maybe he was press.
But it still doesn't explain why he said it was the same as the one they had at NYCC.
There were reviews from the press on Wednesday night as well maybe he saw those and assumed it was the same as the NYCC one.
Anyway he gave false information, if this current version of the offsite comes to NYCC it will not be the same as the vr version of last year.
And I will try to be first in line for it.

I don't know about the NYCC event, but my Thursday AM event pretty exactly matched the press night experience described on the SDCCblog.  I am suspecting that things got more flexible as the weekend ran on- and possibly they didn't have enough of one color hat over another?

Figured this would be a better place to post this than the general review thread. While I wish I took more photos while going through the experience, I did capture one that I didn't think much of at that time, but is now my wallpaper after I played around a little with the filters. At first I hated the grainy texture but now I think it actually help captures that old-timey, saloon feel:

People have posted videos of the experience on youtube. Have a look if you are interested. As with all these things, it's better in one's imagination. At least it is for me. Perhaps it's best to save the magic in case it indeed is a roadshow and another opportunity shows up to experience it firsthand.
