If there was ever any doubt that Adult Swim knows how to throw a party, this year’s San Diego Comic-Con lineup puts those questions to rest. From an immersive Rick and Morty thrill ride to exclusive sneak peeks, celebrity panels, giveaways, and free fan experiences, Adult Swim is turning SDCC into its own wonderfully weird playground.
Whether you’re a longtime fan of Rick and Morty, My Adventures with Superman, Common Side Effects, President Curtis, or Smiling Friends, there’s something waiting around every bizarre corner.
Adult Swim on the Green Returns—And It’s Bigger Than Ever
Located just outside the San Diego Convention Center at 5th Avenue Landing and Convention Way, Adult Swim on the Green is back with four days of free entertainment that doesn’t even require a Comic-Con badge.
Running Thursday through Saturday from 1:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., the outdoor experience is packed with interactive attractions, exclusive events, and enough Adult Swim insanity to keep fans entertained all weekend long.
Ride Into the Multiverse with the RAMbler
The biggest attraction this year is easily the RAMbler, an all-new Rick and Morty-themed take on the classic Scrambler ride.
Guests will enter through an enormous 26-foot-tall Rick Sanchez head before being launched into a fully immersive experience featuring original animation, music, special effects, and enough interdimensional madness to make even Rick question reality. Think amusement park ride meets psychedelic fever dream—and honestly, that’s exactly what fans would expect.
More Adult Swim Worlds Come to Life
The fun doesn’t stop with Rick and Morty. Adult Swim on the Green is packed with original experiences inspired by several fan-favorite series, including:
- An eight-foot Marshall fountain inspired by Common Side Effects.
- A hilariously ridiculous Haha, You Clowns mini-golf challenge featuring the Campbell Boys.
- A President Curtis slingshot game where players battle bizarre creatures from the upcoming animated series.
- A larger-than-life Mr. Boss attraction celebrating the Emmy-nominated hit Smiling Friends.
