Longest you have ever waited in line?

[ZephyrHawk]

Back in the nineties I think I waited about 90 minutes for Splash Mountain. It was totally worth it.

Now the longest I've ever waited for any ride was about 4 hours (several ride breakdowns) for Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point. It was not worth it in the least.

We LOVED Top Thrill Dragster! We went to Cedar Point last weekend of August 2013 when all the local schools were back in but my kids didn't go back until after labour day. Was fairly uncrowded and only waited about 20 min or less for most rides (didn't attempt the "gatekeeper" as the line never went below 2hours).

When Toy Story Mania opened, we waited about 80 minutes. I guess we got there too late for a fastpass.

We waited 25 mins for Talking Mickey. But I spent 25 mins on a broken down POTC when my son had to go on again! So my longest wait was to get off! lol

65 minutes for 7 Dwarves. It was not planned - it should have been 30 minutes, but the lapbars kept malfunctioning.

We go during the summer. If you're not willing to wait in line more than 30 minutes you're only going to ride the train, the riverboat, carousel of progress, go up in the treehouse, watch the Presidents of the US, or see Stitch!

The longest I've waited is about 2 hours for Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, Test Track, Rock N Roller Coaster. You pay a lot of money and you're using your precious vacation time to go to Disney World. I want to ride the good rides and if the lines are long then there's nothing I can do about that. I'd rather wait 120 minutes for Splash Mountain than spend that 120 minutes watching the Presidents and riding the Liberty Bell 3 times each.

I'd love it if July was less crowded. So do me a favor and tell people to stop coming in July!!!

Of course now I have little kids so we don't wait more than 40 minutes because they just can't really handle 2 hour waits.

The most inaccurate thing I read. We have been to WDW many times and every single time we have done ALL the headliners. We have gone just 2 of us up to a group of 16 on crowd levels 8-9 and never have we waited an hour for anything. Just because we haven't waited 60 min + doesn't mean we didn't do headliners it just means someone plan poorly.

In 1992, we waited for two hours to see the "NEW" Indiana Jones Show. On the same trip, we rode Splash Mountain the week that it opened.

We generally don't get in a line if it says more than 20-30 minutes.

 

[DannyDisneyFreak]

45 mins for Test Track, Toy Story, and Soarin'. 45 is the max for me anything longer isn't worth it. When I was a kid I remember waiting for POTC and it felt like hours but I'm pretty sure it was only 20 mins or so.

25min for Speedway. Everything else we get early morning, FP or late night. Now this was prior to FP+ and we usually go late Aug or Sept.

We leave in 3 days during peak time with FP+. I am bracing for shock. My kids used to complain we never get to "play" with anything in the que line (pooh, HM, Space M, etc...) They will have plenty of time now

Before Fastpass, it was normal to wait in line for over an hour or more for almost any ride.

The entire Splash Mountain courtyard would fill up. If you wanted to ride Splash Mountain, you waited for over two hours.

 

[GATORinaZ28]

2.5 hours for Soarin. I vowed after that to never do it again.

 

[mhconley]

We normally won't get in a line with over a 30 min. posted wait time but we once did Soarin' posted at 45 minutes, it took just over that. Also, in 2012 DS and I sat on the curb on Main Street and waited for the second Christmas parade just after the first one ended, that was about 90 minutes. We usually don't spend time camping out on a spot before parades but DS insisted.

45 minutes once for Test Track due to a temporary shut-down. Otherwise never longer than 25 minutes. (We've always been able to go at slow times of the year.)

 

[srauseo]

Last trip (August 2014), we waited 40 minutes for RnRC. Normally I'd never get in a line over 30 minutes. However, the longest line we waited in that trip was 90 minutes for Escape from Gringott's. No FP there.

 

[DisneyHardin]

We waited about 1.5 hours for the Safari at AK. The sign said 30 minutes. I thought my father in law was going to blow a gasket over that one.

 

[bbak30]

Last March DH waited 2.5 hours for Anna and Elsa. He will tell you it was worth it. The girls were so excited and he just camped out in line with a beer and a snack. Our girls still brag about their awesome daddy and what he did.
Other than that, 1 hour for test track. We really wanted to ride and used our FP for Soarin. It was fine. It was towards the end of our trip and we were all exhausted.

 

[Canuck16]

20-30 minutes is our max but we usually go during slower times.

We will be at DLR for a week starting this weekend which is Spring Break so I suspect that those waits will get longer

We waited about 90 minutes for Soarin' once. The posted wait said 55 minutes and we really wanted to ride so we decided to wait. I believe one thing that made the wait longer was all of the people cutting in line, saying that they were meeting their party up ahead. Groups of people kept pushing past us until some people in line put a stop to it. It is amazing how the solidarity of the crowd comes together when one person decides to put their foot down. After that lady said she'd had enough almost everybody in line was backing her up and no more people cut the line. I don't mind waiting for a ride if we really want to ride it. It's just the way it is. I like visiting with people in line and if you are there for 30-45 minutes you can have a nice chat and learn about them, where they're from, and about their trip. It has been some of the highlights of our many trips.

FOUR hours in the sun when Everest first opened. We got to the train...I chickened out and didn't ride. Got a sweet tank top sunburn though!
