With about three days to go until Comic-Con 2025’s Preview Night, new offsite activations and building wraps continue to appear! My previous blog posts provide a lot of the action up until now.
Early this morning I set out on a looping walk through downtown San Diego–through the Gaslamp Quarter, around the convention center, and back. Even as the city slept, workers were getting busy!
Check out some photos.
First off, Gaslamp Square is going to be the location of Disney’s Percy Jackson offsite. They were just beginning to set up as I walked past…
I’ll skip past the Fantastic Four and Doctor Who offsites. There was nothing going on, and it appeared they hadn’t made much progress since late yesterday.
I did notice the big Star Trek: Strange New Worlds wrap on the Marriott Marquis hotel is almost complete now!
Behind the San Diego Convention Center, the Abbott Elementary Ferris wheel appears to be somewhat assembled.
Guys were working on the entrance to the King of the Hill offsite…
The huge FX building wrap on the Hilton will take several days to finish. It promotes Alien: Earth…
I passed the quiet Adult Swim and FX offsites and crossed Harbor Drive, heading back to the Gaslamp Quarter.
Nothing on the grass that stretches near the Omni hotel yet.
The long Gen V wrap facing Fifth Avenue is expanding…
And, surprise! The Hard Rock Hotel’s wrap will be…STARZ! Workers got started on it this morning…
UPDATE!
I took a similar walk in the mid-afternoon. Here’s what I saw!
Surprising how quickly the STARZ building wrap on the Hard Rock Hotel was applied on the hotel’s Fifth Avenue side…
And across Fifth Avenue, the Gen V wrap was moving along…
Now I’m walking along San Diego Bay with the FX wrap and Abbott Elementary Ferris wheel in the distance…
The next two photos were taken from Embarcadero Marina Park South…
(The Alien: Earth graphic is looking cool!)
Back on the boardwalk behind the San Diego Convention Center, the Abbott Elementary Block Party has some graphics up…
King of the Hill’s entrance…
The Brawl Stars barge… (Whoever waved at me–hello!)
Looking over Adult Swim toward the Hilton…
Starbucks has the beginning of fun Scooby-Doo window graphics…
The FX offsite has added additional fences, making photos from the outside more difficult…
ABC television wrap just beginning to be applied to Petco Park…
Disney’s Percy Jackson offsite has a lot of metal, but no substance yet…
Up MLK Promenade, the Doctor Who offsite entrance is almost done, it appears…
Heading back toward the Gaslamp, The Fantastic Four offsite is looking epic. It’s almost Clobberin’ Time!
Finally, heading back north up Fifth Avenue, the sidewalk was closed in front of The Lodge. Lots of activity inside!
