It's been a few years since I've taken the shuttles. So what's the longest wait time anyone has ever waited to board the shuttle (waiting from hotel to convention center and vice versa)? I know lines at the hotel shuttles stops can be long especially early in the morning.
I've done the shuttle for the past 5 years, and the answer is it really just depends. I know that's not what you are looking for, but I've waited 1 minute, and I've waited about 45, and everything in between. And to even expand further, there seems to not be a pattern to it. Some mornings the shuttles are one after another, the same time next morning they are further apart. I will say, going back to the hotel from the convention center in the afternoons/evenings is pretty much always a very short wait. If the trolley is near your hotel that is a great option and I like to use that-its only like $5 a day for unlimited rides.
My sister noticed that last year on the hotel listing form, the Embassy Suites was noted to be .7 miles from the convention center, and there was a shuttle stop. This year, the Embassy Suites is listed at 1.1 miles, with no shuttle stop. I found that a bit odd. Ok...what moved--the Embassy Suites or the Convention Center???
Continental drift! Obvs the fault line is between the Embassy and the Convention Center.
Global Warming is causing the Earth to expand ;D
Neal Adams' pet theory! Not the global warming part but that the earth is expanding and what we see as continental drift is the result of continued earth expansion. I once heard him tell some people at his booth that hobbies outside of comics are good and his was theoretical physics and he starting going into the growing earth idea.
Sorry for the late and multiple replies. I wanted to bring up a post I saw somewhere a couple of days ago where a board poster mentioned they were starting the refund process and not having a downtown room and 24 hour shuttles were main reasons for not attending the convention. The poster relied on the late night shuttles to get to those very early morning lines for some exclusives and other things. A 5 AM shuttle was actually too late for their activities. It was something I had not thought about as I am not one for those early morning lines but many people are. It made me think that one somewhat small change can affect many people's experiences.
We stayed at the Sheraton by the Airport once and the morning shuttles would fill up at the first spot and there was one seat available for the next stop. The driver stopped, opened the door and announced he has one seat, and a young lady in cosplay ran from the back, cut in front of the line, jumped on while telling the driver "Go! Go!". She then spent the ride to the con on her phone telling her friends how she "owned" everyone in line.
