Fasted Line

Any coaster with no lines & is a pure walk-on! :) Dueling Dragons are a walk-on in the morning. Otherwise has fast moving lines.

See http://www.coasterbuzz.com/forums/thread.asp?ForumID=11&TopicID=4587 for what makes a long line.

medusa west, i have no idea why it moves so fast it just does. the loading time takes about 4 minutes per train i dont know if that is fast or not.

are you ready to go vertical?...V2 SFMW 2001 ...

gemini at cedar point.

Yeah, the double track coasters tend to have the quicker lines but only if it is running with full train capacity. American Eagle at SFGAm used to have great line movement because they used to run both sides with 2 trains on each side consistently. However, those days are gone because you are lucky if you see both sides running anymore.

Oh. When I saw the subject I thought this was gonna be another one of those Lenten topics.....

I believe the two highest-capacity coasters around right now are Gemini and Dueling Dragons, both running at more than 3,000 PPH.

California Screamin' is a really fast moving line... as long as it does not break down when you are waiting.

I think Gemini is the king of fast loaders. The line never stops, and the ride ops are quick too.

"X" marks the spot in 2001!

SROS at SFNE has the slowest lines. Probably because they only run one train sometimes and have a train sitting on the brake run, while the new passengers are getting on the train in the station.

Dueling Dragons moves very fast, and so does Medusa East, they run 3 trains on Medusa East, and the ride ops are rather quick.

Yes Gemini moves very fast, but I never see it running six trains anymore. I was at CP on some pretty busy days last summer, and all I saw running was four trains, which is still good, and the line still moved really fast. When they run six trains,though, it's unbelievable how fast the line moves.

Coasters...the best natural buzz available.

The only time Gemini runs 4 trains is during Bonus/Halloweekends when the take a set off around Labor Day. They run one side, usually red, when demand is low.

I agree SROS221! I was at SFNE once last year when the line was out of the queues, past the fountain, and working its way up the ramp out of the Superhero Adventures area, and SFNE was running one train on Superman. The red train was just sitting on the transfer track. No maintenence people were seen working on it all day. I guess I can't know for sure if they really did have a good reason to only be running one train, but knowing SFNE, I have my doubts. Even when they are running two, the one train always gets back and is halted on the break run for around 30 seconds (longer than Mantis got stacked for with 3 trains! :)) To me there is no excuse why the second train can't be starting up the lift as the first one hits the breaks. That is probably around 2 minutes!

P.S. Everytime I go there to ride S:ROS, I ask myself, "Why does such a great ride have to be here?"

MF at Cedar Point seems to be the same way. I would think that during the summer they would have got the loading and unloading down to a science. But on the other hand they are a lot better then CP's Mantis and SFNE's SROS.
