freestylenut Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Dang, you guys have LOTS of patience...I honestly can NEVER see myself waiting over 2 hours for ANY RIDE! I do believe my longest wait was exactly 2 hours about 6 years ago for a haunted house at HHN in Orlando (can't remember the house anymore)...it was the last house we had to tackle & it pretty much sucked up the rest of our night (missed a show or two that year)...needless to say, the next year we were instant fans of the Express Pass!
deguy123 Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 I waited about 2 1/2 hours for Kingda Ka(first time). Once we got up to the station we sat on the ride and went out to the launch area. Waiting Waiting Waiting.....the went backwards into the station. The ride was shutdown due to some sensor or something. We waited another 40 minutes in the station until we finally were launched. Great ride but maybe not worth the almost 3 1/2 hour wait.
Thelegendarymatthew Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Wow, 30mins for Expedition Everest. and, 30mins for FoF and Volcano. I get lucky with lines.
cgodsey Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 5+ hours for one ride on Top Thrill Dragster during the media day. Definitely the longest I have waited for a ride... Got a total of ONE ride in the whole day.
Justin Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 4 and 1/2 hours for TTD.... It was awesome though!!!
Zack44 Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 The worst line I've had was The Dark Knight Coaster at SFGAdv. It was about an hour and 45 minutes for me and the TVs around the queue didn't do a dang thing for me.
Superman06 Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 The worst line I've had was The Dark Knight Coaster at SFGAdv. It was about an hour and 45 minutes for me and the TVs around the queue didn't do a dang thing for me. It's funny how last year the wait last year was 1 to 2 hours. Now this year I have been to SFGA three times and all three times it was practically a walkon, maybe 15 minute wait.
Drew-B Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Worst line ever waited in would have to be either Stealth at (then) PGA. It was hot, dry, crowded, loud, and boring. However, the wait to get to the top of the Stratosphere Tower in Las Vegas isn't exactly the shortest line ever.
Sticky Nicky Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 I waited 5 hours 20 minutes for Batman the Ride at SFGAm in 2003. Great ride. Horrible line!
slither37 Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Mean Streak at CP and SOB at KI. What makes these the worst lines is what is at the end of each line. Screw waterboarding, put the Gitmo detainees on these 2 rides until they talk. No.... Geneva Convention bans that too.
jjune4991 Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 the worst line i've ever been in was on Kumba at BGA, and this girl smoked right in front of me. I'm not asthmatic, but i really really hate the smoke around me. so this guy in front of her told her to quit, and she flips out on him! and of course I get in on it (she was sooo stupid). and of course, she sits next to me on the ride . ghey...
EnglndPatriots6 Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 the worst for me probably was splash mountain at WDW but the raven last year comes close as well.
Maximo37 Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Worst line EVER was Test Track @ Epcot, pre-opening for a Cast preview... 3 1/2 hours... it was about 30 degrees out, and the line wrapped around the building outside... then the extremely annoying, all too loud BGM, once in the building, was almost unbearable... but that is not a coaster... ...so I'd have to probably go with... hmmmm.... Shockwave (stand up coaster) at Six Flags Great Adventure... that line ALWAYS went slow... and for a very uncomfortable ride...
Tbcoasterfan Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 The worst line I've waited in was a few weeks ago at Knott's Berry Farm Silver Bullit had full queues and they were only running 1 train, the crew was terribly slow, and they were sending trains with empty seats. It drove me up a ****ing wall. Tom

Shockwave (stand up coaster) at Six Flags Great Adventure... that line ALWAYS went slow... and for a very uncomfortable ride... no wait thanks for reminding me of test track in 1999. ugh that line was terrible. we stood backed out about 100 ft from the building for about 2 hours before we ever got inside the building. at least they had crash dummies walking around lol. that made things alot better
Maximo37 Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Oh, I forgot about those crash test dummies outside of Test Track... you are right... those WERE entertaining... but, otherwise, that line SUCKED!!!
EnglndPatriots6 Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Yea i think i got their autographs lol. I was terrified though of it when i was like 7 at the time bc when those cars came flying around that piece over the entrance it always shook i was like oh god im riding that? now ill ride just about anything there. i wonder what happened to the crash test dummies.
Maximo37 Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 "i wonder what happened to the crash test dummies." Budget cuts... I'm sure of it...
EnglndPatriots6 Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Too bad =/ They made the ride seem alot better for the wait. I guess they werent really need anyway since now the line is like 25 minutes half the time.
ECZenith Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Ride: Nightmare at Crackaxle Canyon Park: The Great Escape, Lake George, NY Wait Time: 2.5 Hours Total Tiny Schwarzkopf Cars Running: 3 Downtimes: 2 Show Building Type: Warehouse Weather: ~90 degrees Air Conditioning: None Didn't even get to ride because they finally called it quits after the last downtime.
Mechanic Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Disneyland Pirates of the Caribbean, the day it opened after the addition of Jack Sparrow, Barbossa and Davey Jones. The line started on Main Street and wound through Frontierland before finally entering the actual Pirates queue. Cast members were telling guests it was a 3 hour line, but it actually only took us about 2 hours to get inside the building. The ride broke down when we had the boarding area in sight, and did not reopen. We rode it the next day with about an hour wait.
.TP.Emma. Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 The longest que time I have been in was for SAW:The ride. It was 2 and a half which seems a long time to me, but after reading some of posts in this topic, I should consider myself lucky. I think it was worth it though.
ScottBrown Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 2-3 Hours for Stealth at then PGA the dispatch times on that ride were ridiculous till the day it closed . . . has it improved in it's new home or is it still bad
