The ‘Olympus Awaits’ Experience Celebrates the Season 3 Premiere With an Epic Throne Room, Interactive Photo Opportunities and a Special Lighting Display Above the NYC Skyline
(NEW YORK - Nov. 3, 2026) Disney+ is bringing the world of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” to new heights with “Olympus Awaits,” an immersive takeover of the iconic Empire State Building in celebration of the series’ Season 3 premiere on Nov. 20 on Disney+ and Hulu.
From Monday, Nov. 16, through Friday, Dec. 4, fans can ascend beyond the clouds to the “600th floor” and step into Olympus as part of the Empire State Building’s ticketed Observatory experience, bringing the world of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” to life high above New York City.
Included with admission to the Empire State Building Observatory, visitors can journey to the mythical “600th Floor” and enter an epic Throne Room, complete with towering thrones inspired by the Greek gods. Along the way, fans can discover hidden references to the series, interactive elements and immersive photo moments that bring the world of Percy Jackson to life. Throughout the week, lucky demigods may also encounter surprise-and-delight moments, with select visitors receiving special keepsakes inspired by the world of Percy Jackson, including a key to Olympus and other godly treasures.
The mythological adventure extends throughout the building, with a series of show-inspired experiences designed for demigods and mortals alike. A special “Hand of Talos” installation in the ground floor ticketing office will offer a free photo opportunity for fans who want to capture their own mythic moment without making the journey to Olympus.
Adding to the magic, the Empire State Building will bring the magic of Mount Olympus to the New York City skyline with “The Glow from Olympus,” a special exterior lighting display on Friday, Nov. 20, transforming the landmark into a radiant beacon inspired by the legendary home of the gods.

ABOUT “PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS”
Season 3 of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on “The Titan’s Curse,” the third installment of Disney Hyperion’s bestselling book series by acclaimed author Rick Riordan.

He must free a goddess in chains, confront the Titan’s curse, and avoid triggering the fall of Olympus. With Grover by his side, Percy must join some unlikely questmates to confront a prophecy with dire consequences.

Steinberg, Season 3 of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg, Dan Shotz and Craig Silverstein, alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein and Jeremy Bell, Bert Salke, James Bobin, Jim Rowe, Albert Kim, Sarah Watson and Tamara Becher-Wilkinson.
