Para-Con packed it all into a nice handy day full of anime fun... and if that wasn't enough,
hey, you had a whole amusement park to yourself, too! |

 For a mere $18 for Para-Con

| Great America's IMAX theater packed in a
healthy crowd with screenings of Strange Dawn, Tekka Man-Boy, Better Man, and many more
titles from Bandai, Viz, and Manga Entertainment. |

gamers lined up to play some of the newest games. |

space much to the excitement of all the surrounding kids who still haven't gotten their fix
of Pokemon. Ah yes, to be young and as spirited as these happy fans! |
