For a coaster: 2001 for the Phantom's Revenge(first season) 90 minutes
For a Flat Ride: 2003 for King Kahuna(Huss Top Spin, first season) 50 minutes
Water Ride: 2002 for Grizzly Run(SFWOA) 65 minutes
The first time was when I was 16 and I thought it would never happen, but after about four months I finally got lucky.
But as far as rollercoasters go, I would have to say 3.5 hours for TTD. Runner up is Test Track (EPCOT), around 3.25 hours. I'm sure I've waited in countless 2 hour lines and to me that doesn't seem like a long time anymore.
For flat rides, it's either for King Kahuna or Power Tower. bout an hr. to ride.

Holla at your boy!
Titan 4.5 hours
Splash Mountain 4 hours
Test Track 3.75 hours
Deja Vu 3.25 hours mainly because of the 8 breakdowns
Superman Ultimate Flight 3 hours waited 2.5 hours in the line then the ride broke down we waited 30 min. left the line we got halfway down the exit ramp it worked again.

Do you bleed Blue?
Last season at CP I had to wait like 30 minutes at the most for Millennium Force. I rode it 1st thing in the day(Stayed on site to get in early.) then we rode it at the end of the night with about the same wait. For Wicked Twister we only had to wait about 10 minutes. Pretty much everything else was a walk on except Raptor.
I think the longest I have ever waited was at SFA for Superman ROS, and it ended up closing down for most of the day. I think I waited about 2 hours for that.
I can't stand spending my day waiting. I could be in the wavepool at the waterpark or just swimming in the hotel pool.
There are exceptions to the rules. Like when time is limited, and you are only spending a few hours at a park. Thats why I never go to major theme parks on days that I know it'll be packed. A good rule of thumb is to check their calendar of events.
If you see "Gospel Day" or "Christian Day" avoid the park at all costs. There will be many "religious" people that I find to be the most rudest, and annoying. Also avoid the "School days." Then you will see a bunch of teenyboppers running around singing stupid songs. Their shreiking screams can break glass. I was ready to shake a few of them, but I maintained my composure. ;)
In fact thats the reason I opted to visit Dorney this past weekend instead of Gr8 Adv. It was "Gospel day" there, and I can only imagine what the crowd was like. Actually I made the mistake of going to SFA 2 years in a row on "Christian Day." Hard lessons to learn!

Water ride was 45 min. for Dudley Do Right's Ripsaw Falls.
I always got fastpass for the rides w/long lines like Test Track, Space Mt. etc. And I got the Express at IOA for The Incredicle Hulk even though at times the line was only 40 min. I also used Express for Jurassic Park but decided to wait the hour (I think it was a little more) fro Spiderman.
