Yeah...I would have to agree, but that's mainly because Cosplay-worthy titles for the last year, were far and few in between. Frozen was 'meh' to a lot of people this year (I only took the Frozen pic because they did a combo with more than just the two female leads). Although, I have to say that the LoL Cosplays were actually pretty great. Some people did some kick ass Cosplays that looked like they did a lot of time.
Cosplays I don't want to see anymore:
- Homestuck
- Poison Ivy, Harliquinn, Joker
Every time I see one of these, I just yawn. Now, if someone comes up with a variation on these Cosplays, like a Steampunk, or a really interesting different rendition of it, its AOK, but, seriously, I saw a BAJILLION Homestucks.
Biggest problem we had this year was just the management of it all. Do you want a perfect storm, here's a perfect storm:
- MegaCon2014 in the North Concourse
- Clash of the Titans (Cheerleader Competition, supposedly) in the West Concourse
- SeaWorld's 50th Anniversary Celebration
Yeah...the numbers are looking at 125k people over three days visiting the OCCC/SeaWorld area. People from SeaWorld wanted to see what was going on at the OCCC on Saturday, which I saw more 'bewildered' faces enter the North Concourse than normal. Owners of Hotels and Restaurants loved last weekend. Employees of the surrounding area hated it.
The biggest problem that OCCC is currently facing is the traffic is impossible to manage for MC because of its inherent audience; most people that come to MegaCon are 1-2 people per car, rather than Bus loads of people. OCCC is suffering from a "non-road-based" point of entry, like a train or light rail. If you could light rail from OCCC to the Airport, I guarantee it will solve a lot of problems.
