Has anyone seen the coverage of the amazing West World offsite at SXSW? It's like what they had at comic-con last year times 10. Any hope they will bring it to comic-con this year?
Sounds incredible, but probably more than they could pull off in San Diego? The same agency was part of the Blade Runner 2049 and the Expanse escape room experiences at SDCC last year (we didn't do the escape room but the Blade Runner offsite was really well done) so maybe there's hope for something similar but smaller in scale?
I actually went to it-it was amazing. I am not sure if San Diego has a place for it.
I fixed the title. I guess I'm so used to typing Amazon that it came out even though I intended to type Amazing.There's a place very close to the convention center. It's called San Diego. The original town of San Diego is not that far from the convention center. If you have ever taken the trolley or the comic-con buses to the hotels in Fashion Valley then you have gone right by it. It's the original western town that was San Diego. It's a state park and is fully commercialized as a tourist attraction. It definitely has a Spanish flair to the architecture so would not be a good stand in for Sweetwater but there was that Spanish town later on in the series. It would be perfect for that.Cost maybe prohibitive since there are ongoing businesses in all the buildings and thus renting them out for a multi-day event would cost a lot. But there is a large restaurant there in a period Spanish architecture building with compound that would be perfect for a set piece.You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
I had a feeling there might be something like that around. I figured someone here would know. The ghost town they used in Austin is empty buildings, so that made it a bit easier. I wonder if businesses would want to abandon their stores while there are so many visitors in town? Are they established stores, or more like booths? Either way, it does sound pretty perfect. Although, it might be a timing issue. The season will probably be over by the time SDCC rolls around, and who knows when the next season might be. I figure that's why there was no Mr. Robot presence at SXSW-the next season is just too far off. I was hoping they would do the eCorp thing here in Austin, but no such luck.Fingers crossed that they do the Westworld experience in San Diego. I would love for some of you to experience it. It was amazing!
Are they established stores, or more like booths?
I do have to mention that there was quite a bit of rough language used by the actors. It was 21+ only for SXSW, so I don't know if they would try to tone it down if they were in a less isolated location. The nature of the show is adult in nature, so I would think that might be a consideration with holding it in a more populated area. It was only a language thing (and some violence), so that would be easy to tone down.
[member=364]Angology[/member] How quickly did you have to act to get a reservation slot? At SDCC, people were camping out at the Bayfront in order to get a spot, and then at NYCC, they had a different sign up location everyday that you had to figure out by coordinates and a map of the city (if you got lucky and guessed near the right area, you'd be okay - people were running through the streets to get there), so I'm curious what the process was like. I know there were limited spots each day (maybe 100 or 150?) so maybe it's not a real comparison if this one had a lot more slots available - but I'd love to know what your reservation experience was if you don't mind sharing.
