Most unbareable que lines

I dont know about unbareable but having recently gone to SFSTL i thought the que lines for The Boss and BTTR were wayh too long. And while neither line was long it still isa a long trek just to ride the coaster.

Patience is something learned going through many airports and theme parks. It helps if you're with friends as you can keep conversation. It's really annoying when you're with people who don't expect lines, or always complain about lines (especially at a Six Flags); they're just a fact of life. For me, Superman at SFMM has been the worst, even though Rocket Rods at Disneyland were the longest.

I do remember Millenium Force's line with disgust. The line was moving hella slow for some reason, and I remember getting baked in the sun between the canopies (which are translucent so they block some of the suns) The only music I remembered was in the station. Another ride is the Chiller. Thank God for q-bot. That is the slowest moving line, and there is no shade unitl you enter the station. ACK.

Chang. Although they recently improved it by putting a green shade cover over the bulk of the queue, people can't figure out that it would be smart to stand in the shade, as opposed to the uncovered part of the queue.

the worst line i have ever been to is that of "El Condor" at Six Flags Holland:
We had to wait over an hour in a dimly lit extremely ugly themed shack that resembled and smelled like a cow stable.
Ugly painting at the wall were competing for the title of the worst oil painting ever created, and the line moved soooo slow.
I hated every minute of it.

Goliath, If you have to wait through the whole queue Superman will drive you insane. I must have seen 50 launches.

I agree, waiting in line has to be the worst thing in a park, well besides waiting in line between a so called coaster no it all, and people with mullets. But I just got back from my trip to Universal, and first, I must absolutly recomened staying at their hotels, so you can get to the front on everything, but I realy really like their lines, everything is themed and (most important) indoors. Why has other parks not tried anything like this. It made my experience there all the better.

1. any queue line where people are allowed to cut in front of you because they paid more (sorry... I'm still upset about witnessing Fast Pass opportunists for the first time yesterday).

2. Any ride with substantial switchback portions.

3. Any shuttle ride, or ride with one-train operation.

4. Goliath. See Bartman's post above.

Come on fhqwhgads!

The Boss at SFSL, even though it goes threw the woods and all and you get a great view of the coaster, it's 3 miles long with no cuts when theres no one in line.

I dont really mind waiting in line, in fact I actually enjoy it. I guess i could just look at coasters for hours and never get bored. Maybe after a while that will get old, but usually just looking at the ride keeps me entertained.

My goodness i hate raptor's q. its soooo long, and the day i went it was really hot and we all had to wait about 20 min. longer than we should have b-cause someone passed out due to heat. The worst experience i had was on volcano...i got a really bad case of the hershey squirts 2hrs and 30 minutes into the line, had to get out and then wait another 2:30......it was horrible.

PKI's Top Gun is AWFUL!

almost 10 minutes from entrance to the end of the line, THEN lots of steps.

Batman's at SFoG is brutal when it's hot. The first year it was open, the entire queue was full and stretched out to where the bungie tranpoline smut is at now. 3.5 hours.

Although SFGAm's Batman was no party at the park either when we were there a few weeks ago. The more I think about it, I really rather enjoy the the outdoor queing that Batman at SFNO offers. No sewer crap. It's a pleasant change of pace than the other Batmans I've ridden.

MORE than 50% of people like me.

Just for the record, estimated time a SFOG B:TR upon entering the indoor queue: 1:30; add additional time baed on time spent to get to the indoor queue. Which was HORRENDOUS when filled to capacity AND the a/c was out

Deja Vu Seat 8B -> accept NO substitutes

You don't pay more for Fast Pass if you are referring to WDW or DL. Those are available to everyone who enters the park. Other parks do charge for front-of-the-line priviledges.

MF, Raptor, and B:TR at SFoG which a lot of people have already listed before. I can't stand them the most because all you can see are lines running back and forth and seemingly never moving in the direction towards the station. The freeway stamp for MF seemed like it was making the line come to a stand still and loading every train full of freeway stamp people. The Express pass at USF & IOA is free of charge. Although if you stayed on site which is more money, then you have unlimited Express pass use which if your not the person with it then your going to be unhappy.

Let's see for me that would be, X since it's slow, slower with one train op and insane when it breaks. For reference I've experienced all three scenarios. Goliath (SFMM), it's not so much the queue itself but Superman: TE in the background. That gets on your nerves after the first 10 launches. Riddler's Revenge, sitting in the sun isn't so bad but at least you get to watch the trains run the course; the wait is made long due to loading.

And at SFMW, if you ask me, almost all the coaster queues could use some shade. Seriously. If it wasn't for the fact that I go on weekdays most of the time, I'd have to haul more water with me to the park just to stay hydrated. I'm so not paying $3 - $3.50 for water unless I have to. But SFMW's coaster queues are unberable just due to a lack of shade. Actually the whole park could use more shaded areas now that I think about it.

I have to agree with everyone who has mentioned the B:TR queue at SFoG - it is absolutely aweful. You can barely ever feel the AC, it gets painfully hot. There has to be like 75 switchbacks in there - and it seems to never end.

I hate any line where the station or end isn't visible. Its always frustrating to be waiting in line for an hour already, and you turn a corner to find a whole new room of switchbacks waiting for you. The now defunct Kongfrontation was aweful in that respect - I thought it would never end!

I agree with pkidelirium! Top Gun at PKI has the worst line. You have to walk forever to get to the ride, up and down steps, then you have to go up more steps to get into the station. It takes longer to walk back to the ride, even on a day the ride is a walk on, than the entire time it takes to ride it. At least when it was new they had all the scenery working and open. Now, you don't even get to experience that.

i would have to say every line in six flags great adventure is the worst line ever. how about a 3 hour wait for superman ultimate flight that you cant even see until youve waited 1/2 an hour. they have the whole entire ride and que blocked by a giant wall. then the que and coaster is right next to the parking lot.

batman was awfull for the second half, nitro is directly in the sun and the raging rapids line was terrible as well. i really diliked the park as a whole.

mean streak's line was terrible when it was 3 hours long. all of cedar point's ques are pretty bad actually, raptor is one of the worst, its loud from the coaster then they used to blast loud music on top of it, no vegetation in site. just sidewalk, raptor and metal ques.
