SDCC Favorite Back For Another Year

Adult Swim is back for another year at San Diego Comic-Con. Per usually they bring their signature mix of “controlled chaos” to the green area outside the convention center, along with an array of programs and events that allow fans to connect with their favorite shows. Below is all the fun Adult Swim says they are bringing to San Diego.

Adult Swim on the Green

A crowd favorite is the Adult Swim on the Green allowing fans to enjoy unique experiences that requires NO BADGE! This will take place outside the San Diego Convention Center located on 5th Avenue Landing and Convention Way. It will be open Thursday through Saturday (7/23 – 7/25) from 1pm – 10pm and Sunday (7/26) from 11am -4pm.

At the center of this year’s Adult Swim on the Green is the RAMbler, a one-of-a-kind Rick and Morty-themed twist on the classic Scrambler ride. Housed inside a custom dome and surrounded by original animation, music and immersive effects, fans will enter through a more-than-26-foot-tall Rick head before being transported into the chaotic universe of Rick and Morty for a can’t-miss Comic-Con experience that’s part thrill ride, part interdimensional fever dream.

The Green will also feature a lineup of all-new, custom-built experiences inspired by Adult Swim favorites. Explore the surreal world of Common Side Effects at an eight-foot-tall Marshall fountain, hop in the hot tub with the Campbell Boys for a hilariously absurd Haha, You Clowns mini-golf challenge, test your skills in a President Curtis slingshot game featuring creatures from the upcoming series, and climb aboard a larger-than-life Mr. Boss attraction celebrating the Emmy-nominated hit Smiling Friends.
