How long is the line for non-registered attendies?

Out of curiousity
Beware the light at the end of the tunnel may be an oncoming train.

Yeah, but how long is the wait? I know the first time I went some poeple had been waiting more than an hour.

I waited about 2.5 hrs last year, and that was on Saturday. But this year it will go MUCH faster because of the new registration system!
That was a fluke.  I can't remember the whole story behind what happened last year but it is not always like that.  The previous years I've been to Kumoricon the line and the wait were not that long.

I'm at the hotel and I don't see anyone in line. So if you get there now you'll be first in line. Take the difference between now and when doors to the convention open and you will get your wait time.

We will probably have about 500 people in line at one time MAX. I can't imagine more people than that showing up early enough to be in line at the same time.

However, we haven't had our dry run with the new database yet.

One hour through the line sounds like a good estimate for how long it might take if you're there Saturday Morning at the end of the line. Everything will be streamline this year and the fact that we know WHERE the lines go this year should account for a lot. Half of the convention has already pre-regged, so they'll be in another line already.

Also, the Door Reg line will be in the shade this year. So you shouldn't have to worry about heat exhaustion and dehydration.
