Will NCIS ever get a fan attraction like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation in Las Vegas?

Fans of NCIS would love a chance to engage with the characters of the show, even if it was just taking a selfie with a wax figure looking like Mark Harmon. This aspect of being a devoted NCIS viewer is the sign of a well written TV show. The viewer’s desire to escape the real world to fight crime and help put the bad guys away (even if it is only for an hour).

This NCIS loyalty got me thinking this week about NCIS and the future of the show. It is possible that this famed CBS show will ever get a fan attraction like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation has in Las Vegas? With the attraction called “CSI: The Experience”, viewers of the show get to play a crime scene investigator and check out two state-of-the-art forensic crime labs. If you’ve gone, you know the special effects are amazing. And it’s like you are in the middle of the TV show…no really!

Fans could lead the way to an attraction

Giving props to each series respectively, the CBS shows have diehard fans. They continue offering up new episodes that just keep getting better and the writers have done a great job keeping up with new technology to make crime solving even more interesting. However, the biggest difference is CSI fans were crushed when the show ended, while the NCIS series has continued to grow strong riding high with new episodes. The Vegas attraction is very popular, so creating an attraction highlighting the best of NCIS could also be extremely popular.

It was in 2000 that CSI hit the airwaves and NCIS started only three years later. Both CBS shows have impacted the way the world looks at the men and women who solve crimes. Add that NCIS honors the armed services. It could be argued this show deserves an attraction too. The attention given to the real NCIS agents who work their beats and find justice for victims would be awesome too. If that isn’t enough, then who wouldn’t be willing to shell out a few bucks for a selfie standing next to Mark Harmon? See, I told you a NCIS attraction would be a great idea!
