rides with insane lines but not worth the waits

[methos]

la ronde had 2 of these when i went. i was on limited time so skipping a boomerang that had a 2 1/2hr line

and a zig zag with a 3 1/2 hr line

 

in favor of le monstre, vampire and cobra seamed like an ok idea.

Mantis at Cedar Point always has like a two hour wait when I go. Its a good ride, but not worth a two hour wait. The part I hate most is that the line has barely any shade and its right over the water, which always makes me thirsty (obviously, I'm not thirsty for the lagoon water ).

Dumbo at WDW. During Christmas week, it can have a 45-60 minute wait easily. It's basically the same ride you can find at almost any park or carnival so I don't understand why people are willing to wait so long for it.

[Wes]

X obviously. Who would wait four hours for THAT?

[MSLSM]

Lets see...

 

S:UF-fun, but boring after the pretzal loop

 

AE-Did I just break a rip?

 

Boss-fun ride, but not worth the pain

 

Cyclops-ouch

[Canobie Fan]

Rides that arnt worth the wait...

MrSix at SFNE, Boss at SFStl, Raven at HW, Hypersonic at PKD, IJST at PKI....any of the 3 SUFs, Hydra at dorney, and any boomerang,slc,corker

 

Or any ride with a line over 2 hours... Unless its a *good* ride.

[Dailey Enterprizes]

Mantis at Cedar Point.

I second that, I waited like an hour and 45 minutes for Mantis and felt that it wasn't worth it. Fun, yet rough... :?

[alpengeistdude321]

Ghostrider-It would have back in the day but right now it is sheer pain.

Test Track (WDW)-It seems like the line never moves, and the ride isn't that great.

Space Mountain-Fun, but since it reopened it has had an average line of 100 minutes.

[AznShortBoi8021]

Kingda Ka and TTD - I don't know how anyone can find the waits on those rides worth it.

Wild Thing @ Wild Waves and Enchanted Villiage - Another painful corker. When I went to Wild Waves and Long Name Park, the line for Wild Thing was longer than the line for Timberhawk. I seriously have no clue how Timberhawk's like was shorter than Wild Thing's line, but at least I got 7 rides on Timberhawk. An underrated and little known woodie.

Splash Mountain. I mean, grab a Fastpass, go through Pirates and Haunted Mansion, have a snack, then hop on board.

Wait two hours in line in the heat of the day? No thanks.

[Blazen_AZN]

X obviously. Who would wait four hours for THAT?

 

well if all the rides at the park had que times of the same length i'd definately pick X! but i'm not waiting 3+ hours for ANYTHING.

 

if there is any ride you could call a "love it or hate it" ride, X is definatly it! it's either people's favorite ride, or one of there most disliked.

[ShoubraStreet74]

Superman: The Escape..... I will never understand how people can wait a long time for that thing.

[MF310ryb]

I would have to say SUF those rides are snoozers and the amount of down time totaly not worth anything over 45 min. The Pretzel Loop is the best part after that you can go to sleep. I have to say SFMM got lucky they didnt get one of these clones.

[Mr.Six]

X.

If I wanted to wait 5 hours for pain I'll go to the ER thank you very much!

I shouldn't make a large, generic statement, but pretty much all stand ups aren't worth a long wait.

 

Theres nothing like sitting in a train after a long wait--you dont get that with standups.

[Immel Man]

Incredible Hulk, Manhattan Express, X, Top Thrill Dragster. The absolute worst had to be when I waited 80 minutes for a night ride on Rattler at Six Flags Fiesta Texas, the ride that makes Mean Streak and Psyclone feel like B&M's.

[CoasterFanatic]

Top Gun at Parmount's Canada's Wonderland.

 

Always a line .... never worth it!

[pvcoasterguy]

Hmm... let's see

 

1) Deja Vu- no, I'm not going to wait in a three hour line for it when all the other coasters have 15 minute waits.

 

2) Revenge of the Mummy: The Ride- If I see the single rider line out of the door, or the Express line at the same spot, I know that it's going to be a 45 minute wait even in the 'fast' lines. (Which, suprisingly, was the same as the normal line.) I love Revenge of the Mummy, but I wouldn't wait that long for it when I could get five minute waits at night. (USF version)

 

3) Any wild mouse- the lines move very slow. Enough said. Wait for those is painful.

 

4) Intamin Impulse- I love the rides... except when they have long lines. They usually move fast, but the line at Great America is awful. No shade at all, Fastlane people get to go always ahead of you (they don't have a ratio at V2.)

I've never ridden X, but it looks too good to be true. I guess it is? What exactly is painful about it? Back in like, 2001 and 2002, people RAVED about X. Now, everyone is all like, "Taer It Down!!"

 

What happened to that ride?

[Token Yankee Guy]

One ride that isn't worth waiting in is, Line: The Ride.

 

 

Craiggers "8 bucks for an on-ride photo" K.

What happened to that ride?

 

The raven turn now makes you pray for death.

 

I always thought that it is pretty funny that when it came out everyone complained about the length. Now it is it's best feature.

[FlyingScooter]

Mantis at CP. The longest I've waited for it was about 5 mins. any longer than that would be an insult.

Any wait for Mean Streak would suck. Same goes for Raging Wolf Bobs.

[sfmmFREAK]

that sierra waterslide at sfmm, it is not worth the huge line.

[BarryH]

X: I waited 1 1/2 hours for it and it wasn't worth it.

 

Test Track: I once saw a 3 hour line for it! I would wait for 20-30 minutes for it, but 3 hours? The 3 hour line was at 9 pm, so the last people in line wouldn't be out of Epcot until around midnight!

[Inferno Insane]

Two rides I wouldn’t bother if the queue line were long are both at Alton Towers - Air and Rita.

 

Air - I would even bother if it was 10min as it bores me to death and rather ride Nemesis which is next to it.

 

Rita - Wouldn’t even bother waiting 1 hour + for this now, for a short 15-20sec ride when standing waiting thinking I could be riding a world class B+M with a good moving SRQ and have many rides
