Worst/Longest/Slowest Line you ever waited in!

[ECZenith]

2.5 hours for Nightmare at Asscrack/Crackaxle Canyon whatever it was called. They were running like 2 cars on this enclosed jet star at Great Escape, NY. I was a young, dumb, credit whore.

[Frade]

Batman The Ride at Six Flags Mexico the opening day ( April 30, 2000 ) I waited for 3 hours to ride the SLC, and it was running with one train.

[matteocrepaldi]

Fuga Da Atlantide at Gardaland; it was too hot and there was nothing to cover half of the line.

It's either Nightwing at SFNE, Pandemonium at SFNE or Blizzard River at SFNE. Nightwing I waited in what looked like a 15 minute line for what had to be atleast a half hour-45 minutes because of horrid operations. When we finally got on however, it rocked and was definatly worth the wait.

 

Blizzard River, I waited atleast 45 minutes in burning hot sun with no shade in what has got to be the most boring queue ever in my opionion, but the ride was also probably worth it, so I'm not complaining. But then theres Pandemonium. I waited atleast an hour in hot sun, with no shade, in a slow moving line where everyone was just sitting around talking and not moving except for me, and when I got on and rode it, it was piece of junk and not worth it at all

[ECZenith]

Nightwing always has downtime, and when it's not that, it's someone throwing up and the 10 minute cleaning that follows afterwards.

 

As far as Pandemonium, not sure if it's the line you waited in, but they do have a single rider line which will save you time should you go back.

[bgwfreak]

I've never been to any ride besides Disney that had over 2 hour waits.

 

Borg opening day was about 2 hours. One train operation and a slow crew, but that was understandable since they just opened it.

[bigstevet07]

Mamba WOF opening year. No shade in queues and a three hour wait. Holy sunburn batman!

[lapseofreason]

I think my longest (the longest are the worst) waits would be:

 

1) 2 to 2 1/2 hour waits for X (2 of them, we got in line an hour before the park closed)

 

2) The one time we waited during the day for X when there was a line, it was down to the soda machines... 2.5 hours again, we got up to the stairs leading to the station... then it broke

 

3) Again with the 2 1/2 hours... Villain at Geauga Lake when it first opened (I hate that line, it's so crowded, especially the part that goes under the station)

 

4) X-Flight when it first opened. Can you guess how long I waited?

 

 

Needless to say, I won't wait in long lines. It's just not worth it. We've always used Flash Pass for Tatsu, and any time we get in a line and it's ridiculously long, we just don't wait. No way would I ever wait in a 4-5 hour line for a 3 minute ride. The ride isn't going anywhere!

Probaly Superman ultimite flight in sfga[sixflags great adventure] the ride was alright.

[thrillrideseeker]

I waited 8 hours to ride kingda ka the third day it was open big mistake.

[edboxer]

SFWOA (aka Geauga Lake) for the flying coaster, 2003? It was 90+ degrees and 90% humidity, the line was crawling like a snail in reverse, there was no shade whatsoever. Then this group of 12-16 old guys in front of us decided they were going to have a "Who's sneakers smell worse" contest by taking their shoes off and passing them to each other. I think they had walked through a manure spreader before coming to the park, it was gaggingly disgusting.

[Lord Kotowa]

Worst queue ive been in is for G-Force at Drayton Manor, because it just crawled round, this was when it had 1 train only. So it took 1 hour and half, and with the telsa coils it was quite unsettling. Also i had massive vertigo on the stairways because i reaised it wasn't supported for most of the stairs. Had chavs all around me having 'lovely' conversations.

8 hours?!?!

That's bascially your whole day...

[awclark]

^ Opening day For KK had a line in which people reported they had waited for 10 hours because of the frequent breakdowns and a rainstorm that blew through holding up the line for a couple hours. I wasn't there though.

[TheKlockster]

It used to be Flight of Fear at 1 hour - now its Raptor at 1.25 hours.

[apollo210]

Thunderbolt at SFNE, I must have waited at least 45minutes to 1 hour for that ride.

For not coasters it would be BLizzard river at SFNE. 1.5 hours!

[goleafsgo]

45 minutes isnt that bad at all

[apollo210]

LOL, I've been lucky with lines, even on sunny days, But thuinderbolts Line is soo boring.

[Guttermouth]

2 1/2 hours for Star Tours at DLR

 

2 hours Boomerang - Knott's Scarry Farm

[knottslover77]

You waited 2 hours for Boomerang!

[sixflagsmagicmountain]

Boomerang is not worth wasting two hours of your life, it isn't even that fun.

[twisted_propaganda]

Grr! Everytime I bring a friend to Knott's or some place with a Boomerang we NEED to go on!

 

Then I get them on Ghostrider or something and they hate it like me.

 

Worst line = four and a half hours for X last year! It wasn't crowded at all that day, everyone was at X for some reason. They even had two trains running, but after that line splits, it only goes half as fast (or twice as slow ).

[sixflagsmagicmountain]

^ X's line is always that way, unless you get lucky. I waited about 4.5+ hours for X shortly after opening.

[twisted_propaganda]

I think X is really overrated.

[Casper]

Technically the longest line I've been in was for Hypersonic XLC in late april the season it opened, although I left it after only 5-10 min because a park employee came up to us and said "Hey guys, do you know that this is a 3.5 to 4 hour line?".
