have you ever wait in a long line for a new attraction and after riding the attraction left feeling it wasn't worth the time waiting?
 
Waited 45 minutes to ride Hogwart's Express my first time. Now if there's a long line I just walk out and around through CityWalk.
 


I waited for about 60 minutes to ride 7DMT soon after it opened. No regrets here. Long lines don't bother us.
 
While I don't like a long wait for anything, it is really the STANDING part that makes long lines impossible for me. It is painful while it happens, and can destroy my ability to enjoy the rest of the day, and sometimes the following day or two.

Yes, I felt like the Mine Train was a let down compared to the line we originally waited in. We do not ride it now if we do not have FPs. It is just not worth it to us.
 


So... properly answering the question, I regret every line that keeps me standing in place for more than a few minutes and to me, no form of entertainment is worth the accompanying pain and disablement that follows. I can pass on anything which involves a long or too-slow moving queue. I can also cheerfully move on, find a cool drink and a place to SIT and people-watch while other family members wait for an attraction.
 
I cant think of a new ride that wasnt worth the wait,if its new I have to experience it.I'm thinking 2:40 for Everest in passholder preview,3:30 for Splash mtn in NYE in the 90's,it wasnt brand new,but new for me.The second time around it wouldnt be worth it.
 
I don't mind waiting in lines but 30-45 minutes is probably my max, depending on the ride. That said, the only rides I can recall waiting in line for and regretting it was Stitch in WDW and The Simpsons at US.

Me too! I could walk for miles but I can't stand in one spot for more than a minute. I usually use the railings to lean against.
 
I waited 70 minutes to ride Frozen Ever After and had #noregrets
 
Only one. Our first stay at BCV my mother did not believe me that we could walk to Epcot...that it would be way too far. She instead insisted that we take a bus to TTC and then monorail in for the "experience"...mind you she has been going to WDW since 1974...she should know better!! Anyways, we humor her, take a bus heading AWAY from Epcot to TTC and proceed to wait in a monorail line for 35mins as it breaks down on the tracks.It eventually moves with no one on it, another monorail comes, we get on, we get off, it is also broken, we wait another 30mins.We finally then get escorted to buses where we wait in another line for about 50mins. We arrive at Epcot after a total of 2hours wait time when all we had to do was walk to the IG to begin with!!!! Hooray!!! Longest line for an attraction designed to get me to a park that I ended up never riding in the end!!
 
Our max wait time is 25 minutes, but we're fortunate enough to get to go to WDW more often than a lot of people do.
 
I mean I waited six hours to meet Carrie Fisher, and even longer for some other celebrities, and I've always thought those waits were worth it...so I guess lines at theme parks don't really phase me. I know why I'm there and I take it in stride.
 
I don't like waiting in long lines. I skip out of rides if the wait time exceeds 30 minutes.
