OMGCon Update: Everything You Need to Know!
Posted by The Toontown Team on May 28, 2016 at 11:30 AM
It's the final countdown to ToonFest! Ticket sales have ended, (but you can still pick them up at the door) our flights are booked, and we're wrapping up the things we have in store for you! Finally, we're here to announce what the entirety of ToonFest 2016 is composed of. Buckle up, because here we go!
This year, Toontown's main booth and base of operations will be located in the OMG!Con video game room, which is different from our location last year. You can check out a map of the convention center in the OMG!Con Programming Guide. Our booth and the Virtual Reality stations will be closed during all of the events listed below.
Autographs & Meetups Room
To kick off the weekend, we're inviting all Toontown fans to come join us for a get-together in a less formal way to chat with the staff, meet other players, and maybe even earn some cool prizes!
Main Event Room
ToonFest is the event you've all been waiting for! Our first and largest panel will be where we talk all about the exciting things we have to show you, as well as answer any questions from our players. Check out our new announcements, backstage secrets, and see what Jesse Schell has in store!
Rewriting Toontown -- 2:30PM - 3:30PM
Main Event Room
Listen to the Toontown Rewritten team talk about the whole story of how a band of regular players turned into a team of dedicated game designers. The full story of how Toontown was Rewritten!
Video Game Room
For a solid three hours on Sunday morning, Toontown has the LAN area all to ourselves for one last time to meet players and make friends inside the Tooniverse. Bring your own computer if you can!
Toontown Trivia Extravaganza! -- 1:30PM - 2:30PM
Main Event Room
Sign up at the Toontown Rewritten booth to participate in one final wacky game to wrap up ToonFest, and prove that you have what it takes to answer the ultimate question: “Are YOU Toon Enough?”
Video Game Room
At periodic points throughout the weekend, we'll be hosting events for the three categories of the Toontastic Toontown Tournament. We'll give you more details when you see us at the Toontown booth and during Friday night's meetup.
Bring Your Own Pie! -- Saturday Afternoon
Outside Convention Center
Last year, players surprised us by bringing some pies to hit Joey (Sir Max) with. This year, we're coming prepared. Bring on the pies!
Virtual Reality Stations -- All Weekend
Video Game Room
As game designers, our team has had a particular interest in virtual reality. We want to share it with you! Unrelated to Toontown, you can stop by stations in the video game room to try out some hand-picked games for the HTC Vive, including a game from one of the companies that worked on Toontown, Schell Games!
In addition to all of this exciting news, we're pleased to announce that the number of ticket sales from Toontown has more than doubled from last year! We're going to make sure that it's a weekend to remember.
We also recommend that you check us out on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Snapchat (ToontownTV) for all the latest updates as the event goes on. You won't regret it.
Until next time, we hope to see you at ToonFest!

I hope you have things in stock for us in the game! I wont be able to attend I would have tried but I don't think I deserve it anyway. I'm hoping ill find a way to get at least one code! But at least I get to stay here and wipe the smirks off those cogs faces before they ruin our fun!
