Jerrykoala2112 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I remember in 2008 when I went to the park, it literally took us 5 minutes to walk to the coaster, they were soooo smart planning the queue path. And we got lost when we walked through it. There were queues everywhere and we had no clue where to go. You must of went on a busy day, but after you wait through that, you get in a building with more queue. We got lost before the building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster1000 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I have that wierd queue interest myself. Love this thread. Does anyone have some sort of "overview" picture of KK's queue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montuman99 Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Manta, without a doubt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I have an interest in ride queues as well (not standing in them for extended periods of time, of course)! Some of my favorites are Tower of Terror, Expedition Everest, Sheikra (because it's underneath my favorite coaster), Revenge of the Mummy, and The Beast.

Koolkid Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Nemesis' queue is my favourite, you wrap around the ride and under and over and through the pit that the ride is in. Plus there's the blood waterfalls to You can just about make out some of the queue in this picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeSteven Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I'm still surprised by the fact that some roller coasters manage to do place the queues in a really smart way and others do such a bad job with it, it's amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerCoasterSmi Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I have to agree with Koolkid, Nemesis does have the best queue, although blue fire Megacoaster at Europa Park has a cool queue also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Thriller Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Nemesis and Black Mamba both have amazing queues! --James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger01 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Nemesis has a great queue! Same as Manta! However Oblivion has the worst queue. You just circle round and round and round. It annoys me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpengeistfan1 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I personally enjoy El Toro's queue, you have a great view of some of the airtime hills and you're surrounded by Rolling Thunder too. I also like Bizzaro's queue because the fire is right near the queue and you can feel it sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WW1 Flying Ace Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Manta has to be the best! Dueling Dragons is now depressingly boring compared to its former self. Forbidden Journey isn't bad as a little strange though, it has a themed entrance and themed tunnel that lead to a bunch of themed outdoor switchbacks then the throughly themed rest of the castle. I'm also sad to see how bad HRRR's queue turned out its a bunch of switchbacks with painted walls and very annoying tvs. Mission space is also pretty good as I like seeing the horizons tribute. Manta's line is more if an attraction then a queue IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I love Runaway Mountain's queue; it's like taking a nature walk! I'm a little surprised people don't talk about it more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The49er Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I like DLR Space Mountain's queue with the com chat and theming. Indy's queue is cool, too. I also enjoy the lines of: Star Tours II @ DLR - Pretty much the same. Goliath @ SFMM, the tropical themed line. Autopia @ DLR. PeopleMover music, the comical looping dialogues... etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylanreich Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 1. Indy at DLR 2. Revamped Star Tours queue DLR 3. Goliath at SFMM (same reasons as stated above) 4. Space Mountain at DLR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfansince1999 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I am also interested in seeing some pictures of coaster queue's. I would like to see a picture of TTD's queue! Everyone says that its very long, like the snaking, so i would like to see a picture of that. Welcome to the boards kk! Oh, you should see the line for American Eagle.

KDCOASTERFAN Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 After having spent the weekend at Kings Dominion, I must say that Rebel Yell and Grizzly have the most ungodly loooong drawn out queues! You could almost count 3 or 4 trains dispatched before you hit the loading platform! Thankfully with the reworking of the path system for DA Grizzly's queue has been shortened dramatically & the whole area in general looks better than it has in a while....Rebel yell on the otherhand is still the same old hike into & out of the station & I so wish the park would somehow fix this.

Intimidator305 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 ^ Yes, the Grizzly line is a very reasonable length now and it looks very nice! Rebel Yell's whole entrance ramp is in need of new wood, so hopefully when they redo it, they shorten the length of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoinItForTheFame Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Time to bring back a dead topic! But I feel like a lot has changed since the last time this thread was discussed, and there might be some new favorite Queue lines now! With that being said... On with the topic!! One of my favorite queue lines belongs to Expedition Everest! The attention to detail is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) The Funhouse Queue at The Joker in Six Flags Mexico will always be a neat surprise to me and the others on our TPR 2013 Mexico Tour. And it was all awkward, but not dangerous. Soft landings, if you fell. A great addition to the coaster, itself. Didn't take pix of the queue itself, but I am pretty sure TPR had/has it somewhere.

DrachenfireOP Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Since we're on the topic, can we talk about a ride that USED to have the best queue ever, and is now mediocre to poor? DRAGON CHALLENGE! When it was Dueling Dragons, the queue was a work of art. I remember taking more pictures of the queue than the actual ride when I went in 2002. I assumed they would keep it mostly the same, and was very disappointed to learn that they took all the AMAZING themeing out, and replaced it with some mediocre-at-best HP themeing. Between that and the fact that the ride doesn't duel anymore, I think I can safely say that the park took one of the greatest themes and rides of all time, and ruined it in just about any way possible.
