Longest Lines

For a coaster:

3.5 hrs for x on a july sat. evening. we got in line @8:55 because they closed the line @9:00 and we did not ride untill 12:30.

all time

48 hrs camped outside of MSG in NYC for WWE Wrestlemania 20. i was part of a group of about 50 people and we all got in the 5 rows.

I believe it was Son of Beast opening year....about 2 1/2 hours. I remember there was a freak thunderstorm that lasted about 15 minutes. We were soaked!

Can honestly say that I don't recall waiting much over an hour for any ride. I plan my trips when school is still in, or on weekdays at the very least. My vacation time is too short and my opportunities too few to have the luxury of waiting 3-4 hours for a single ride.

I guess the longest would have to be Stealth's opening year at PGA on a Sunday, where it took about 90 minutes for each ride.

About 3 hours for MF June of opening season.

A few 2 hour late night Raptor rides when it was newer.

About a 2 1/2 hour wait for Mantis opening year.

45 minutes for Dragster, Although I spent hours in the queue selling those sunglass straps, talk about sunburn.

I've waited more than 45 minutes for Disaster Transport many times.

About 1 3/4 hours for Batman at SFGAm.

We only took one trip to CP a year when I was younger..so if I wanted to ride I had to wait..now that I have my liscence and car I go to CP much more often and wont wait much more than 20 minutes for anything..I would rather watch shows in the AC then wait a long time in the heat for a ride I have ridden hundreds of times.

5 for Dragster last week.

30 minutes, then rain.

exited line

2.5 hours then rain.

exited line

2 more hours.

1.5 hours for Steel Venom.
45 min. for Power Tower and Wild Thing.

I don't bother waiting as long as I have someone to talk to or a camera to do something.

Not to sound mean in any way, but I dont know how people can wait in such long lines for rides, despite how good/awesome the ride it. My Rule when visiting a park is if a ride has over a 2hr queue(The most I can handle) I will simply walk away and try something else, and it usually works too, You see this way you are so easily bound to find a ride(s) has has short queue(s) and you can fill in more on the day this way too, and in most circumstances, If you go back to the ride that had the long queue later in the day or near to park closing, you should find that ride will have a lot shorter queueing time which means you wont have wasted hrs queueing for just 1 ride.

I've always been really lucky when visiting theme/amusement parks, my 3 biggest queue times are

2hrs 30 mins for Dragster Last year - It should have been 2 hrs actually, but there was a 15 min brakedown, followed by a rollback which affected it for a further 15 mins, Was worth the wait though. I made up this long queue time on Dragster the day afterwards though as the queue never reached over an hr in length all day :D

1hr 45 mins for Batman at SFMM(Opening Year) - It was an extremly busy day, and we didnt get very many rides, however me and my brother knew we had about 2hrs before we left so we thought should we wait out the long wait for Batman, or go for maybe 2 more rides on other coasters, In the end we chose for Batman, It Was a good ride :)

1hr 30 for Nemesis Opening Year - Was determined to ride it despite it being busy, so stuck it out. It was awesome, Queue got lower and lower throughout that day too which was better.

It took me one hour to get through the Dueling Dragons Queue Line.

This year the longest wait has been 1 hour for Spiderman, 45 minutes for Hulk, 1:15 for Kumba.

Longest with breakdowns- Raging Bull (4 hours) On a Saturday in May of it's first season.

Without breakdowns- Shockwave (2.5 hours) On a fine October day during Fright Fest.

8 hours for TTD. - It was the second day of my trip to CP in late June last year. TTD was down the entirety of the first day and I needed to ride it, so I waited all day long for the ride to open. Luckily it finally did around 8:00pm that night. I got a front row seat, and about 10 min after my ride, it broke down again!

3 1/2 hours for Millie the very first year of operation. I waited about an hour to get the pass to get in line, then another 2 1/2 hours of waiting in line later that day

1 1/2 hours for Deja-vu. It broke down for about 40min, but I stuck it out in line. A good move as it was down the entire second day I was at SFMM.
