What coasters' queues makes the most of the land?

I know there was a topic similar to this, but this has to do about the queue of the coaster, not the coaster itself...not to mention I was going to ask it before and just forgot. :)

The only coaster that I've been on where the queue goes down hills and seems somewhat (treacherous:)) was Top Gun at PKI. Are there any others?
MF has a ramp.
Shockwave at SFGAm has a path way over the roads and under the first loop. And the path goes under the brack run, too.

Cedar Point makes great use of all of the natural CEMENT that is on the park.
I agree that Cedar Point does an admirable job of placing queues - not surprising, considering that the land they have to work with is not unlimited (notice I did NOT say that it was limited!). I think the Mean Streak, Mantis, and Raptor do the best job of really using the space beneath the ride for queues. Disaster Transport does well, too, you just can't tell so much because it's in the building.

I was being facetious, but they do make good use of the area created by the ride itself
Uh....if something is not unlimited, that means it's limited. What you mean is that Cedar Point is not short on space...

As far as terrain queues, I like KW's Jackrabbit. It goes a little into the same ravine the double dip does.
Although it really doesn't run through much terrain, Grizzly's queue goes throught the "backwoods" of PKD.

I think SOB and Top Gun at PKI use the land good.

Even though the theming sucks, the Great American Scream Machine (SFGAdv) takes the queue right underneath the coaster and through all the open space. It's pretty cool like that.

Also, the queue for Dueling Dragons makes an excellent use of pretty much EVERYTHING. I still can't believe they fit that massively queued theme in that little castle. Bravo!

NITRO kicks it into high gear...only at Six Flags Great Adventure!

My other car is a rollercoaster...
Top Gun, SoB, Beast at PKI. Also Raging Bull.
BatMan Night Flight. Its sweet how if your in line, your next to the cobraroll. And the track is all around you.

How about The Grizzly at PKD. This thing takes you on a boardwalk style path through the woods and by a little stream, and at night there's little lights that flicker in the trees.

CEDAR POINT is this weeks Spotlight Park at

i think volcano's line is rapped up pretty good around the volcano. while the coaster takes place somewhat inside and outside the lines goes inside and right outside.
Man volcano has a very tricky line although one of my Fav. coasters even if most kiddy coasters are longer. Ended up waiting a hour and a half for it glad I did.
I think IOA makes the queue lines great.
& Son of Beast lines take up all that extra space in the exit of Top Gun. Works great. I just dont want to wait in it though ;)
Yet another thread where someway, somehow CP has to be near the top. Why? Because it's CP, that's why. Do they use the land well as far as placement of the queus? Yes. Is that what the initial question of this thread was? NO.

I agree with many that Top Gun at PKI makes the best out of the terrain for the queu, from what I've seen. It seems that river rapid rides tend to have the best use of terrain for the queus, the one at PKI makes you go way back there in the woods.
Zeus or Cyclops @ Big Chief's. I think they make the best use because they start at ground level under the station, and it's only 1 flight of stairs up! Well, accually, the pathway up to the stairs is cool, they are on a hill and go under the coasters, a very good spot to take pics from under the ride.

I think Alpengeist's queue makes good use of the terrain, by going up the side of a hill. Now if only it were a bit more shaded...
