Build Coney Island together, one brick at a time
Invite NYCC visitors to add bricks to a large-scale Coney Island model, turning the new partnership into a shared fan creation.
Newsjack angle: Set up a public build at the convention and pitch the finished model and visitor participation to consumer and events desks.
Why: It gives the Coney Island tie-up a visual, hands-on story that families and fans can take part in.
