Nearly everyone at WisCon has their own set of reasons for loving it: mobility issues, or crowd anxiety issues, or a small child that comes with them to con, or just that they can get out when they're ready to leave.
It is seriously one of the most well-designed functional innovations I've seen in fandom and I would love to see it catch on at more cons. You do need security volunteers to remind people to stand on the correct side, but you know, THEY CAN ALSO get from Point A to Point B and this makes their lives easier too. (I don't know whether they had to add security volunteers when this got implemented, or if they have the same number now as they had before.)
