rjp23 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Thaks for getting this up :-) A few questions: Is the only entrance/exit the main one into the National on Hammersmith Road? How does re-entry work on the Saturday/Sunday if you've already attended the Friday? Do you need to queue up each day or will we get a wristband/whatever to allow easier re-entry? Where are the temporary stairs that you paid for going to be? It might be useful to link to the floorplans from Olympia, e.g. http://olympia.london/sites/default/files/floor-plans/Olympia_National_Ground.pdfwhich properly show the stairs, toilets, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) QS said earlier that there may be a revised plan up tomorrow but for now it won't show where the stairs are. Generally they and the lifts are around the edges of the room. Edited July 14, 2015 by Raylenth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vhiper Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Will there be one queue for YALC ticket holders and gold passes combined or is that separate, as YALC was a separate thing/event I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjp23 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Having a second look at it, I'm a bit confused now. The 1st floor of the National Hall is just the narrow gallery area, right? On your floorplan it leaves out the big hole in middle but if I'm interpreting it correctly that's where you're putting the cosplay stage AND all the big signings? Around that narrow walkway? Or are there siderooms not on the plan being used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wondermoose Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) Earlier Ive posted spread sheet with the schedule for the three days. Ive added another Tab with Guests By Zone as a spreadsheet. (Yet again there might be spelling errors) https://docs.google....dit?usp=sharing This is a spreadsheet of all the days, there might be some spelling errors cause the conversion might have read things wrong. But I think all the times are correct. I did the conversion today from the images on the first page. I do reserv that there might be differenses I dont believe it is though.

Raylenth Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) By the way if anyone is interested you can have a 'walk around' an empty Olympia on Google maps. If you hover the little man over the map they have mapped the inside. Edited July 14, 2015 by Raylenth 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I believe you still need to queue each day. For re-entry if you leave to get air/food etc you get your hand stamped. But I'm just going on the winter one as this is my first summer one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjp23 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Yep, so they've put the cosplay stage on the tiny balcony (???) and will have all the biggest guests/queues between it and the rest of the convention? I'm sure we're misreading it somehow as I don't even see how a stage could fit there, nevermind the audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Separate queues. Could you (or someone) just double-check that there's not been a mistake with the floor plans? Are you really putting all the big guests AND the cosplay stage on the small balcony? Surely that's obviously an awful idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are the club & apex rooms attached to the balcony...? On one side, on the other side they have Bill Paxton, Props and Photoshoot A which must be on the balcony as there are no side rooms so where are the "Guest Zone 1" signings going to fit? Obviously not where they're labelled as that's in mid-air... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely that's obviously an awful idea... TooTall worked on these for days, there has not been a mistake. Last time I was in this hall I had a foot injury and was on pain killers, so my memory is a bit fuzzy. I do remember going up stairs and there was a full fledged floor which had more than enough rooms for the signings. This balcony part is only one part of the hall. So no guests floating in mid air. Plus the balconies are not quite as narrow in the signing/stage area anyway. Edited July 14, 2015 by Queen_Sindel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely that's obviously an awful idea... TooTall worked on these for days, there has not been a mistake. As far as I remember the balcony in that area is not quite as narrow plus as it's been posted there are rooms on that side too, so I imagine these will be used. Yeah...I'm thinking the balcony just looks narrow in the photos...if you look at the floorpan from the olympia website the balcony actually looks wider. And the cosplay stage might actually work brilliantly at the end of the balcony especially if the stage is visible from downstairs too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zahariel Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) Photo and Prop shoot areas Cosplay stage Diamond guests (May actually be in the Apex and Club rooms) Seems to be plenty of space to me as long as people don't block any walkways.
