Adult Swim has announced this year’s lineup for San Diego’s Comic Con International, and after the last year or two of SDCC fun, the network is going full theme park mode. The headliner this time around is the RAMbler, a Rick and Morty-themed take on the classic Scrambler carnival ride, housed inside a custom dome and entered through a 26-foot-tall Rick head. Yes, you read that correctly: you walk into Rick’s skull and get flung around inside an “interdimensional fever dream.” No badge required, either.
Adult Swim on the Green returns to its usual spot outside the San Diego Convention Center (5th Avenue Landing and Convention Way), open Thursday (7/23) through Saturday (7/25) from 1pm–10pm and Sunday (7/26) from 11am–4pm. Alongside the RAMbler, the Green will feature custom builds themed to the network’s current roster: an eight-foot Marshall fountain for Common Side Effects, a hot tub mini-golf challenge with the Campbell Boys from Haha, You Clowns, a slingshot game featuring creatures from the upcoming President Curtis, and a climbable, larger-than-life Mr. Boss from Smiling Friends.
Here are the big nighttime events happening at the Green, all kicking off at 7:15pm and each followed by a free DJ dance party from 9–10pm:
Night of New: Exclusive Content Screening (Thurs, 7/23) – Adult Swim’s now-traditional kickoff screening returns with a first look at never-before-seen content from across the network, plus surprise previews and reveals.
Live Table Reads (Fri, 7/24) – The voice cast of Rick and Morty takes the stage for a live table read. Expect laughs, surprises, and a rare look at the talent behind the show.
Adult Swim Through the Years (Sat, 7/25) – A one-night-only celebration of 25 years of Adult Swim, complete with a live animated visual set from Afuchs Twin. Cosplay is encouraged, so dust off your Meatwad costume.
Inside the convention, Adult Swim has claimed the Indigo Ballroom at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront for an entire Friday afternoon (7/24) of back-to-back panels — essentially a bingeable block of programming:
