Dragon Con is literally packed with people, you are wall to wall bodies, and there are definitely times that you can not move. There are also places where you shouldn’t stop moving, unless you absolutely have to. One of those is the skypath. The Skypath hovers above the streets and connects several key areas of the Dragon Con. This is a confined area with several bodies attempting to get to the destinations, it is a limited area with almost unlimited bodies. Please do not stop or you become a traffic jam. Take photos as you walk or wait until you are at the other end of the tunnel.
