Take a nostalgic trip to the future in everyone’s favourite DeLorean

We are SO excited.

If you haven’t seen Back to the Future yet, there’s honestly something wrong with you. Where have you been living and how did you manage to avoid it?

For the rest of us normal people who HAVE seen it, there was nothing that we wanted more than to hop in beside Doc and Marty and take a trip to some past or future place in his incredibly awesome DeLorean.

I mean, the doors open upwards, for God’s sake. You couldn’t get cooler.

Well now we FINALLY have our chance to take that much-awaited sit in the ACTUAL DeLorean. Excuse us if we’re just a tiny bit excited.

The place that our long-overdue dream is going to become a reality is this year’s Comic Con Ireland. The event is back in Dublin this October on Saturday the 13th and Sunday the 14th and we are not missing it.

Aside from the amazing DeLorean (have we already said that we’re excited?), you will also get the chance to sit on THE Iron Throne. I mean, we definitely deserve that more than about 95% of the people in GOT.

There will be so many other things to enjoy at Comic Con as well. The Gyrosphere from Jurassic World will be there and you can have a go in it and take a picture with Blue the Velociraptor.

There are also TON of amazing guests making an appearance at Comic Con this year, including the hilarious Catherine Tate from Doctor Who, John Rhys Davies from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, Steven Ogg from The Walking Dead and GTA5, Ian Beattie from Game of Thrones, and many more.

There’s also a whole section for kids if you have any mini superheros or villains flying around. The Kidtropolis section will have a huge inflatable fun fair park, a pirate ship, face painting, and loads of other fun stuff to keep the little ones enjoying themselves.

Plus, Kidtropolis will be visited by Kira Kosarin, star of Nickelodeon’s The Thundermans. The Kids’ Choice Awards nominee will be there to say hello to the mini super-fans and give out autographs for free.

Kids 10 and under get to go for free each day from 11am so long as the adult they’re with has a General Entry ticket.

There is SO much going on at this year’s Comic Con and it would be an absolute travesty to miss it. Whether you’re a comic book fan, a movie or tv fan, an avid gamer, or you only dabble from time to time, this will be such a good day out.

You can check out everything else that’s happening at the event this year on their website where you can also buy tickets.

It’s sure to be a weekend of absolute craic. And for those die-hard fans, with Halloween so close, you have a perfect excuse to dress up.
