Longest line/wait?

45 minutes for Magnum. I would've rather had that time back so I could sleep. Forget the ride, it's awful.

The longest I've queued for was around 2 hours for Loup-Garou at Walibi, Belgium and the next was Mumbo Jumbo at Flamingoland about a week after it opened. My worst queue experience ever with the park full of scumbags that day. Took about an hour and a half.

Wait, so you've been to Cedar Point and the longest wait you have ever had was for Magnum?!?

3 and a half hours for Saw at the end of the day once due to multiple and prolonged breakdowns - I read out a couple of chapters of To Kill A Mockingbird to pass the time. When I left the queue, we bought the ORP and the guy asked if we wanted to "Collect now, or at the end of the day"...

Nearest to that would be Stealth on my first visit to Thorpe where I queued 2 and a half for it.

^It took you three and half hours to read a couple of chapters of To Kill a Mockingbird?

Somewhere in the region of 4.5 hours for Nemesis, in opening year, on fireworks weekend. It was so bad, that Dad came on to avoid spending the whole time sat on a bench by himself. He never usually rides anything (The mine train thing at BobbieJobbie land totally freaked him out last year!)

I'm good at planning. And we had the hotel package thing so we could get into the park an hour early to get on the good rides before the park opened to the rest of the public.

That, and I can't just stand in a line for an hour and a half. I would die of boredom. So around noon when the lines are long for all but Blue Streak, Corkscrew, and Mean Streak, I either go back to the hotel room with a re-entry stamp or do a Mean Streak marathon <3 Nobody likes Mean Streak but me.

In all fairness, I was reading them aloud, and it wasn't for the whole of the queueline, probably for about an hour of it.

I think I can remember 3-4 hours for Oblivion in 1998. I can recall nothing more than that anywhere though.

^ Thats horrific considering the through-put. I can specifically remember my 1998 visit, I think the queue was about an hour. I guess you either visited at peak times, or you had bad luck with breakdowns etc.

I think it was 3 or 4 hours for Rita when it opened and I went during the summer holidays, I think it was the same for Spinball.

Mean Streak wasn't that bad. I walked on to it twice when i went. I've certainly been on better though.

Considering how big it is and how epic it looks...yeah, it was just rough and not that fast...

2.5 hours for Challenge of Tutankhamon in Walibi Belgium in 2003. It was during this hot summer while it was about 96,8 °F and because CoT has the hottest queue ever (even during winter) it was about 104°F.

Mean Streak is alright. I'll only ride it if it is walk on or has a 3> minute wait.

Of course we waited some 20-30 minutes this summer to get the Brits their cred. :roll:

I longest queuing line I heard (but I did not go to) was Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit @ Universal Studios at the Universal Studio Resort. When I went to my Senior High School GradBash 2010 at Universal Studios / Islands of Adventure, Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit was approximately 3 hours long so I did not bother going on it.
