nvm, this is all of it confirmed

In the series premiere, “The Original,” head programmer Bernard Lowe is notified of an issue with some of the hosts (the series’ artificial people) in cold storage. He accompanies Luke Hemsworth’s Ashley Stubbs and his security detail to B83, a sub-basement far below the main Westworld operating facility.
When they arrive, the place doesn’t look like a storage facility at all, but rather an abandoned office complex. It’s got multiple levels, escalators, and a large globe.
Fans of the movie might remember that Delos, the parent company of the original “West World,” used a globe as part of its logo. A visit to the official site for the new series declares that Westworld is “A Delos Destination.”
Follow along here. Bernard mentions in conversation with Theresa Cullen that it’s been 30 years since the park has had a “critical failure.” Even without considering the Westworld film, it’s easy to read that as an incident where the fake humans hurt the real ones.
But that remark takes on a whole new meaning if the series acts like the movie really happened. What if the critical failure was the robots of the movie running amok and killing the guests? Since we aren’t sure exactly when the movie or the series are set, it’s not hard to imagine 30 years have passed.
Surely, though, people would just stop visiting after the original West World tragedy, right? Not necessarily. The movie’s lesser loved sequel, Futureworld, had people continuing to visit the Delos theme parks after massive amounts of money were spent to ensure they were safer. Even if Jonathan Nolan, Lisa Joy and company jettison that movie and the Beyond Westworld series from their continuity (not a bad move, honestly), that same idea could apply here.
