I'd heard that the hotel was small, but I had no idea just HOW small it was - I feel like William Shatner at the end of season 2 on original Trek. ^*

Just a suggestion: If there's enough Security available, it would be a great idea to station someone outside the elevator banks on every floor to avoid overloading. And whoever it was who had the idea to require everyone to exit at the top and bottom floors: thank you! "Up to go down" may have been acceptable at the Park Plaza, but it's definitely not an option at the Hyatt.

Looking forward to the next Arisia...and hoping that after that, we'll have a bigger hotel...

PS - One suggestion: since a lot of editions of Clear Ether disappeared kind of quickly, perhaps PDFs could be posted on the Arisia website?

One issue I heard was more an issue of balance than weight. The load needs to be equally balanced, if a majority of the people are in the large glass part it is more apt to break down.

Oh dear, I spent most of the time in the elevators with my nose to the glass going "ooooh, shiny!"

Well, the elevators were a serious problem for at least two people that I know - one of them my wife. She simply could not be anywhere near the glass. In fact, she mostly had to stay next to the door, facing away from the glass. Which may have increased the weight balancing problem.

I, on the other hand, enjoyed the elevators^*. They reminded me of the ones from Commando. :D
