Longest SBNO coaster

[Ian]

Turbine at Walibi Belgium is reopening in mid-June as Psyké Underground after nearly 5 years of sitting SBNO (that's "standing but not operating" if this is all new to you).

Does anybody which coaster holds the record for being SBNO?

Also, what's the longest period of inactivity? 5 years for a coaster to stand there doing sod all before reopening has to be a record, surely?

(Yes, I know I could look on RCDB but I'm hoping somebody might know off the top of their head or do the dirty work for me )

Montana Rusa Infantil at Parque de la Ciudad n Argentina has been SBNO for 31 years. Not sure if it counts or not because the park never opened. But if it had to reopen, I think it is the one at Belmont Park.

Orphan Rocker without a doubt, it's been standing about 24 years now? But has never opened to the public.

Yes. My hopes of riding it this year or even my lifetime get dimmer each day.

It's Vertigorama in the same park that never opened to public.
Weren't Leap the Dips SBNO for a really long time? Something like 10 years?
Also who can forget the SBNO coasters in Chippewa Lake Park, which were removed some 2 years ago, after 30 years of SBNO
