As pop culture fans descend on San Diego, one activation has people revving their engines. Peacock's Twisted Metal Bumper Battle puts everyone in the driver seat for this action-packed Comic-Con experience.
SDCC is filled with exclusive panels and exciting previews, but fans are often drawn to experiences that put them in the heart of the action. Peacock delivers exactly that with a chaotic off-site event that transforms a classic carnival ride into a Twisted Metal-style demolition arena.
The Bumper Battle features customized vehicles themed after fan-favorite rides from the streaming series. Attendees can let loose behind the wheel, smash into fellow competitors, or simply enjoy the nostalgia and adrenaline. It’s a chance to play out the destruction fans have only seen on screen.
Beyond the ride, several cars from the show will be on display for photo ops. Expect loud engines, stylized chaos, and a few surprises — because no Twisted Metal event would be complete without a twist.
"Whether you’re a longtime fan or just looking for wild fun, this ride delivers chaos in the best way."
