Below are just five of the TV experiences going on at Comic Con’s convention floor, where attendees don’t mind waiting in lines to see and take part in their favorite shows.

AMC’s “The Walking Dead”

Branded completely for the show’s upcoming fifth season, “The Walking Dead” has a terrifying and solid presence at Comic-Con this year. (Spoilers ahead!) The booth catches up with the group as they enter Terminus, with walkers all around – attendees can choose to enter the safe haven, but what’s inside is a surprise. The line leading up to the entrance mimics the show’s path over the last season, with messages for Glenn from Maggie, a map to Terminus, even railroad tracks along the way.

Nickelodeon

This network has possibly one of the most easily recognized booths on the convention floor – with a neon and vibrant-colored topper, it’s well branded and well placed. The booth itself attracts both kids and adults with a voice over center, an animated GIF booth and photo ops with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles themselves (the cartoon, not the Michael Bay movie). In the voice over booth, fans record their own voices over Nick shows and hear the results onsite, and The Bosco’s animated GIF photo op takes four images of each guest then shares the created GIF via social media.

BBC America’s “Orphan Black”

The clone booth is a creative take on the GIF front at Comic-Con, taking images of someone’s face, then inserting that one face into multiple “Orphan Black” clone bodies, creating a mini clone army for each attendee. The photo is printed as well as shared via the social site of one’s choice. With “Orphan Black’s” recently announced comic book and third season, as well as “Doctor Who’s” return soon, the BBC America booth is working hard at the con.

Starz’s “Outlander”

The time travel series combined both time periods for its castle onsite, with characters all around the walls in 1700s Scotland garb as well as 1945 to match the show’s eras. Much as protagonist Claire Randall does in the series, attendees get transported back to 1743 Scotland when they enter the castle, where there is a “feast” and photo op with Scottish warriors clad in kilts. Lines at the Starz castle wrapped around the outside for most of Thursday, but “Outlander” representatives entertained them while waiting with their signature Scottish brogue.

Adult Swim

The Adult Swim fun house extends from outside in inflatable form to inside the convention center as well, complete with a wheel to spin where quite simply, “one might, or might not, win” as the host told visitors with a wink and a nod. The wheel has mysterious possibilities (spinners only find out what the prize means after they spin) including button, wallet, bear hug, Mike Tyson and simply “?” which could be anything. People are lining up in big groups to find out what these wins could mean.
