Worst/Longest/Slowest Line you ever waited in!

[Nrthwnd]

My all-time personal record is still 3+ hours

for Eejanaika at Fuji-Q, in 2007. Every other

train (it seemed) kept being changed. And

it just took - for - e - ver to load and unload each train.

 

We actually (thank you Robb & Elissa!) extended our

leaving time for an hour, so those of us still in line

could get at least one ride on it. And we did.

 

It goes for all three: Longest, Slowest, Worst.

 

(EDIT To add: I checked back through here and found that I had indeed,

said the same thing back in 2008. Page 24. With the addition of

nearly two hours for Dondopna and that infernal bass booming "theme".

Ugh. And that post was over four years ago.)

Me, Mike and Peter in a more happier time - before our first hour had passed.

I remember having to wait 3 hours for X-Flight when it opened.

[GnastyGnoric7]

Longest wait time for me was 90 minutes for Maverick, on Memorial Day weekend 2008, it wasn't too bad

Slowest, Fahrenheit, ugh the line moves 2 degrees Celsius, but I never waited more than 25 minutes.

[PalmTree55]

Longest - 3 hours for Intimidator 305 (Worth EVERY second )

 

Slowest - Nighthawk at Carowinds. One train running on Opening Day!

 

Worst - Verbolten's Soft opening. Even though I was on the first train at the soft opening, I waited 2 hours in line not knowing if I would get on while fighting off line jumpers and people who though they had the right to step in-front because "they have been following construction closely".

During fright fest last year, I waited 2 1/2 hours for X-Flight.

2 1/2 hours waiting for Bizarro (SFNE), the year of the re-theme. I remember sitting on the steps that lead to the station for a good 10 minutes. 2nd would be El Toro at 2 hours. Almost did Superman that day...but I waited 10 minutes, the line didn't move, so I did a rare thing- I gave up and left the line.

I can remember waiting close to 3 hours to ride Rocket Rods at Disneyland. That was ridiculous.

[azza29]

Slowest would be Grizzly at CGA. We used fast lane and still waited 40 minutes in the station.

Well its not the longest line I have ever waited in but defiantly the worst. It was Toy story mania at Hollywood Studios (I still call it MGM sometimes xD) We waited about 2 1/2 hours just because of the Horrible fast pass (can't stand disney FP by the way). We actually stood there for about 40 mins one time and did not move. Just terrible, even though TSM is a fantastic ride, Just wasn't worth the wait that time. Its just bad when you are standing close to where they direct you up to the loading bay and they let about 50 FP people go and then they let just 1-2 group(s) go in the regular line. Well rants over you can all go home now

3 hours for Stealth when it was at CGA. Next worst was 2.5 hours for X.

[coaster-mm]

A couple of weeks ago waited a little over 2 hours for a ride on OzIris@ parc Asterix.

 

Was it worth the wait?.....ehh, nope!

Boring line, boring ride, and although the park was packed, the single rider entrance closed!

Result: every train left with 4-5 empty seats....Grrr!

I waited at least 2 hours for S:UF at SFDK the year it opened on 4th of July. Waited just over 2 hours for Tatsu at SFMM in late July of this year, and waited close to 3 hours for Roaring Rapids at SFMM last year in early August. It was a hot day, and it was my son and I's first ever trip to the park. We were fooled by the way the queue was set up, and by the time we realized it, we had already been in line at least an hour. Wouldn't ever wait that long again though.

Longest line: Indiana Jones Adventure at DL. Line ran all the way down Main Street and waited 3 hours during its inaugural year.

 

Slowest line: X2. Every dispatch took 10-15 minutes.

 

Worst line: Tomb Raider (Top Spin) at Movieland Studios. Ride vehicle was less than half full every cycle and load/unload was very inconsistent.

[Grantwhoplayspiano]

I waited at least 2 hours for Tatsu on my visit to SFMM a few years ago and had to listen to the ride operator scream "Tat-SUUOOOUOOO" at every dispatch.

[gisco]

I'm kind of surprised that the waits have not been to horrible for Flying Turns.

Haha, I totally forgot about Tomb Raider! That took us 45 minutes, and there were only 2, that's right 2, cycles before us!

I waited 4 hours for Batman during the opening year, that includes a breakdown.

[Devins3]

I just waited for Boulderdash with a full queue when it was only running one train. It was agonizingly long hour wait, however after I got off it broke down for the night so that is even worse

[HowieP]

Top Thrill Dragster was probably the longest I've ever waited for a ride. Space Mountain at Disneyland is a close second. However, while I didn't wait in line for it, I was at Six Flags Great America the year Batman the Ride opened, and the line went almost to the front of the park!

For me just about every coaster at Cedar Point had an endless line.

[kailisun98]

Any of the rides at ANY Happy Valley parks in China. The Ops are seriously terrible. It takes the ops like 5 minutes to dispatch a coaster and up to 10 to get a flat running.(most of the time)

[gerstlaueringvar]

Lex Luthor hands down. I have mentioned a queue of 4 hours for a knock-off SLC but Lex Luthor seems longer because I'm dying for airtime at a park like SFMM They definitely need an airtime machine!

[tanthonyam]

Not a ride, but the line for the Empire State Building in NYC is horrible. Room after room of que lines. And just when you think it's done, you go up to another level and more que!

[adam_sparks1]

The opening day of Saw The Ride at Thorpe Park i waited around 2 and a 30 hours with that being a hour inside. And with Saw the air pressure shot goes off every ten minutes what always made us jump.. At least it kept us awake.

[Mr Stratosphere]

The slowest line I waited in was X (before X2) with frequent break downs and one train operation, after 90 minutes I opted to leave the line.

 

I think nowadays an hour is about my threshold for patience with any ride.
