SOUTH PARK (Comedy Central) to grab a photo with Cartman, Stan, Kyle and Kenny in front of the town’s iconic bus stop. At
PARAMOUNT STATION, expeditioners will brave the
ADVENTURE TO THE PEAK, a hyper-realistic gondola lift that will simulate frigid winds and harrowing heights. The full sensory ride will feature iconic Paramount characters and recorded commentary by CBS Sports’ Jim Nantz and Tony Romo.

A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO “PARAMOUNT EXPEDITION VEGAS: JOURNEY TO THE PEAK”
Centered around Paramount Mountain, EXPEDITION VEGAS will be divided into five main areas: BASE CAMP, THE CHALET, THE RIDGELINE, THE VILLAGE and PARAMOUNT STATION. The free immersive activation can be entered from either BASE CAMP or PARAMOUNT STATION, and visitors will be able to choose the path of their journey. The following guide provides details on what fans can expect to experience.
BASE CAMP:
- BIG TEN (CBS SPORTS): Circulating throughout Expedition Vegas, cheerleaders will rally the crowd toward PEAK excitement; fans will have the chance to have their photos taken with their favorite cheerleaders.
- THE CHALLENGE (MTV): Fans will pair and test their skills in trivia, speed and teamwork at a replica of the iconic THE CHALLENGE brick puzzle. Competing for THE CHALLENGE-branded prizes, the fastest team to first complete the puzzle wins. All participants and passersby, alike, can enter to win exclusive, limited-edition THE CHALLENGE gear.
- UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE (CBS SPORTS): Visitors will put their soccer skills to the test at the UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE penalty-kick battle, and players who score enough goals will earn a coveted spot on the leaderboard.

On the way out, fans will receive complimentary “live long and prosper” Vulcan-salute foam fingers.
- GHOSTS (CBS): Visitors will check into GHOSTS’ Woodstone B&B to test their belief in the paranormal. Guests will head to the phone booths, pick up a phone and hear a mysterious voice on the other end, asking if they believe in ghosts.

Easter eggs from CBS’ fan-favorite franchise will be hidden throughout the space, and a live ticker will track the number of people who discover that funny things happen when you believe.
THE RIDGELINE:
