Time To Visit Westeros
For those of us who don't know what to do with our selves after "Game Of Thrones" ends next year, it's time to book a ticket to Ireland!
Soon fans of "Game Of Thrones" can visit the real-life Westeros, at the official HBO "Game Of Thrones" themed tourist attraction.
HBO has announced plans to convert the show's Belfast area filming locations and iconic sets into a tourist attraction called Game Of Thrones Legacy.
“HBO is thrilled to celebrate the work of the "Game of Thrones" creative team and crew by preserving these locations and inviting fans to visit Northern Ireland and explore Westeros in person,” said Jeff Peters, HBO’s VP Licensing and Retail. “We look forward to opening the gates and sharing the excitement of stepping inside these amazing sets with Game of Thrones fans from around the world. The opportunity to celebrate Northern Ireland’s pivotal role in the life and legacy of the show and share its culture, beauty and warmth is also a huge inspiration behind these legacy projects.”
Game of Thrones Legacy could include Winterfell, a chance to ride a dragon, and of course a photo opp on the iron throne.
Each site will feature the sets from the show as well as exhibits of “GOT” costumes, props, weapons, set decorations, art files, models, and other production materials. In addition, the premium cabler plans to install digital content and interactive materials to showcase VFX used in “Game of Thrones.”
Of course, there are TONS of tours you can already book in this area, but this will be the first "Official HBO" one.
HBO is tentatively targeting 2019 to open the Game of Thrones Legacy attractions after an exploratory process is completed. The premium network has previously launched live “Game of Thrones” extensions, including the Touring Exhibition and the Game of Thrones Live Concert Experience.
The planned Game of Thrones Legacy attractions in Northern Ireland will be “on a scale and scope bigger than anything the public has ever seen,” HBO said, promising fans the first opportunity to set foot inside some of the series’ most iconic locations.
We love anytime we can go visit the real-life sets of our favorite tv shows, just shocked it has taken this long for networks to give the fans what we really want...so OF COURSE, we ❤️ths. 📺
