Here are my pics from Flynn's Arcade

Visitors to San Diego during SDCC 2010 (San Diego Comic Con 2010, as if you didn't know, silly!) were treated to the immersive experience of Flynn's Arcade.

Located offsite in the Gas Lamp District, Flynn's Arcade was part of Disney's marketing campaign for it's upcoming movie, Tron Legacy.

Note, there were TWO different experiences; one for visitors who participated in the ARG and the other for the general public. Below is a description of what the general public experienced, but the photos I'm sharing is a mash up of both experiences.

Visitors started their journey into the digital world with a visit to Flynn's Arcade, a fully built out 80s arcade, complete with classic coin-ops as Space Invaders, Marble Madness, Track and Field, Galaga, Asteroids, Pac Man and Kevin Flynn's most popular game, Space Paranoids!

After 20 minutes of free play, visitors were taken through a secret passage behind a Space Paranoids machine. Through the dark, they uncovered a room that Kevin Flynn used to create the grid. On one side of the room is Kevin Flynn's dusty terminal, which has been counting up for 20 years. On the other side is what looks like a laser.

After a minute or so of standing in the small dark room, the laser activated and visitors were transported into the digital world! Doors were swung open and visitors walked through a tunnel with swirling light. As they turned the corner of they entered a light and music filled club, the End of Line Club.

The Identity Disc is such a great prize to give out for the scavenger hunt. I'm really liking the End of the Line Club posters too - haven't seen many of those go up on eBay yet.

I finally got around to loading the video I took @ the End of Line Club. It includes the Tron multimedia that was playing on the giant screen behind the bar.

While you had to be their for the full experience (synchronized lighting, stereo sound and thumping bass), you get to at least a taste of the End of Line Club.

NOTE: it begins sideways, but I quickly turn the camera the right way.

I hope they do something here in NYC's ComicCon.

Here is something you won't see on other sites (at least I don't think so).....an unobscured video of the Tron multimedia clip that was playing on the wall of the End of Line Club, without the walls of the bar and the top of peoples heads.

Oh, just ignore what that person in the background is saying at the end of the video.
