CN Plans ‘Ben 10’ Experience

Animated children’s series inspires live event prior to its U.K. debut.

Cartoon Network and the Intu Trafford Centre in Manchester, U.K., have joined forces to launch an interactive “Ben 10” experience.

The “Ben 10” experience will offer kids the opportunity to transform into four different aliens featured in the show, including Heatblast, Diamondhead, Four Arms and Overflow.

Visitors will also be able to participate in a photo opportunity with Heatblast, who will be attending the experience all weekend, as well as watch a sneak peek of the new “Ben 10” series before it launches on Cartoon Network.

The “Ben 10” experience will take place, Oct. 1-2, at the Intu Trafford Centre in Manchester, U.K.

The new “Ben 10” series follows 10-year-old Ben, who discovers an out-of-this-world, alien-morphing watch–the Omnitrix–while on summer holiday with his Grandpa Max and cousin Gwen. The series will premiere on Cartoon Network in the U.K., Oct. 8.
