What coasters' queues makes the most of the land?

Dragon Mountain @ Marineland has a cool queue. It goes into the side of the mountain and is pitch dark. Seriously -- I ended up feeling my way along the wall to find the station.
Anything at Disneyland, But especially Space Mountain besause of stuff you see like the tv show, the peeks into the ride, and the massive station(the line wraps around it)
I like how *most* of the queues at PKI(Beast, SOB, TG), Orlando parks, etc. go through one way and take use of the surroundings instead of having to look at people the whole time you're in line. It's almost always just going straight instead of line, turn, line, turn, line, turn, line,... I really hate that unless it does use the area beneath the coaster as well to get everyone pumped up.

Even though it's a clone, I really like B:TR's line, since you get to walk right under the ride. I found Mean Streak's queue to be really cool too, since you're surrounding by the massive wood structure. But my favorite is Legend's queue...I know it's not fancy, but I love just watching the train tear into the brake run right above your head, and seeing it fly down the first drop into the amazing first tunnel. I'm done raving about the Legend now.:)

I love Raptor's queue because it is at CP. In fact i love all the queues at CP because all are awesome, it's awesome. I hate SFWoA's queues because you have to wait in the middle of the ride and it's so loud. CP rules!

Now how does that look? Stupid or what?

"Yet another thread where someway, somehow CP has to be near the top. Why? Because it's CP, that's why. Do they use the land well as far as placement of the queus? Yes. Is that what the initial question of this thread was? NO. "


What do you men near the top? Out of 23 posts, 3 of them had to do with CP, and one was just humerous. In fact, they were pointing out that CP doesn't use the land. What's the big deal??

The big deal for me is that this is yet another useless topics for people aren't mature enough to let other have their opinions.

I like SOB,Beast, and F/O at PKI. If your waiting right underneath the loop, it is the greatest feeling as the car blows past ya. Nice way to cool off on a hot day

Hoosier Hurricane and Cornball Express.

Hurricane's line is weaved around and next to Rocky's Rapids entrance and exit line, over the log flume, and right up next to the Hurricane dispatch area.

Cornball is just a weaving up stairwell that goes over a bathroom and orange shake-up/cotton candy stand.

Thank you for not feeding the trolls and enjoy the rest of your day, here at CoasterBuzz.com. CLEAR!
I like Viper at SFGAm. The line moves pretty slowly usually, but you're right in front of the bottom of the first drop of Raging Bull. The faces of the people...!

I know its not a coaster but I would have to say White water Canyon at PKI. Theres no back and queue rails you juss lead off to some unkown place in the woods.

Top Gun and SOB at PKI and Hulk and Dueling Dragons at IOA

From what I can tell, moste people are saying Top Gun, SOB, The Beast and White Water Canyon at Paramount`s Kings Island. I`d have to add the Vortex, or Adventure express to the list as the lines aren`t built to hold a ton of people.

Goliath's is pretty good with all the mist and trees makes you think its larger than it really is. Ninja @ SFMM has to the be the king of queue line capacity. That upper level holds like an hour in such as small area.

I think Medusa at SFADV because the entrance goes under the massive cobra roll and while on line u can see the train enter the loop, the diving loop,and it speeds right over u through the zero g-roll into the cobra roll. You can also see the runaway train hills also.And Medusa is seperated from other coaster so while in line u are all by trees and the theming are around u *** This post was edited by jay_rider on 7/28/2001. ***
Serial Thriller@ SFAW
Serial Thriller at Worlds of Adventure has a very nice ramp leading down to the ride, and the whole queue area is very neat, as it is separate from the rest of the park.
I don't think there are many queues out there that make the best use of terrain. Most queues are placed in a flat area. I think what most people have been replying are best use of positioning of the queue, or how cool the queue really is. This is a weird topic...:)
