Most unbareable que lines

Hang on just a second... Whilst you guys are whining about a 90 minute wait I should like to point out that some people are on other continents and a 90 minute wait would be manna from heaven in that respect.I would gladly wait one and a half hours for TTD - heck - I waited two hours for the spaceshot (playstation/iceblast) at Blackpool Pleasure Beach without moaning. For a fraction of what TTD delivers I am betting.

My point is that you folks who can ride should be grateful for that - some of us are thousands of miles away and we aren't always able to be so blase about things.

Think about it...

Perspective is a good tool to have.

For me Son Of Beast has to be the worst que line in the world. Looks like they ran out of money. Plus you still have to listen to the songs from Top Gun.

Any SFA line. Put simply, they don't design things thinking about the perspective of their guests. They just slap in as many switchbacks as possible, with little or no shade, and on top of that, have poor dispatching times and single-train operation...

I really don't see what's so bad about B:TR SFoG's line - it's got to be one of my favorites. Well-themed, well-shaded (you're indoors more than you are out), and on top of that, it's the only queue I've ever come across with a drinking fountain in it.

I just can't think of many complete unbearable queues aside from SFA's impressive collection, except for SFoG's Deja Vu.

All of PKD's queus are perfectly bearable for me, especially FoF and Volcano's.

Ghostrider at Knott's : When it is full, you have the full downstairs to go through and then the full upstairs to go through. It takes FOREVER. To top it off, line jumping in all California parks is horrendous and Knotts is one of the many parks in that state that doesnt do a darned thing about it.

X: One train wait is just unbearable. From the point I was in the station waiting in the row I chose it was a one hour wait. I was one of the first people in line for the ride that day and still waited two hours to ride. Then of course there is the line jumping...

Jaguar: The enclosed que is very clausterphobic, especially when there is a long wait for the ride.

Chang: Everyone mentioned the loud noises in this queue, however, the thing I dislike is the width of the queues. You have to be an anorexic child to fit through them. Add to that the fact that there is no shade and the noise and you have a thoroughly miserable situation.

Batman: The Ride (SFStl) Could they make this queue any longer? When it is not a busy day, why must one walk the ENTIRE length of the queue to get on the ride.

To name a few. Superman Ultimate Flight at Sixflags Great Adventure. They invested in some type of cheap paper thin metal fences. They make up the whole queue, and to top it off no bun intended. The tops to the fences are missing. There should be black caps to cover the top, but the park never had anyone install them. Or if they did the person got lazy, and only did a few and left a pile of them on a support block of the ride. Since they are not covered the top of the fence can cut you or tear clothing.

Also since the fences are so cheap they bend. I once waited 1hr 50mins for the ride, and I must have saw over a dozen guest bored out their mind stand on the fence, and literally watch the fence bend in half. I think by the end of this season those fences will be damaged to the point where they will install regular metal railings. That is probably why they never had anyone put the caps in. Also any coaster that zig zags in the station. It is the worse.

You think that you are there, and your so close, but you still have to wait, and most of the time that area of the line is small, and cramped together. Also any queue line direct sun light without shade. I do not understand why parks leave their so called valued guest to stand for any length of time longer then 10mins without shade. There are so many excuses I have heard for not having covered queue lines, but they still don't add up. I think the parks are just trying to save money by not investing in them.
