I remember last May I waited at ToT for 40 minutes when the sign said 20 minutes. We were going to leave for the airport, so there wasn't time for a fastpass. I wouldn't have waited if it said 40 minutes.

My longest wait anywhere was 3 1/2 hours for The Beast and Kings Island in 1982. At Disney, it was probably 1 1/2 hours for Splash Mountain don't remember the year.

About 40 minutes for Peter Pan. The sign lied .

Hmmm...I can't remember about rides at WDW, but I do remember at DisneyLand, we waited almost 2 hours for a ride called Rockets Rods, which is now closed.

 

[dpuck1998]

Over and hour for Splash Mountain October 31, 1998.

The longest anywhere though was 2 hours (if not longer) for Spiderman at Islands of Adventure in May 2000.

I too waited for almost 2 hours for Spiderman....quess I'm spoiled now with fastpass and haven't waited more the 30 mins for anything since. Plus now I have kids with me everytime and wouldn't wait 2 hours if someone was handing out cash

I waited nearly 2 hours to see Mickey with my 6 year old and 7 month old daughters. I think I must have been experiencing a belated post-partum brain freeze. I didn't really have a clue that the line went on and on and on, so for some reason I kept thinking we were almost there....duh! I apparently missed any sign that suggested a wait time, because there is no way I'd way 2 hours to see ANY character, but there I was with a snooing infant on my shoulder, a heavy back pack sitting on the floor in front of me that I would "kick" as the line moved, and a very excited, but eventually bored 6 year old....We laugh about it now, but at the time, I was closer to tears thinking why don't thy have a 100 Mickey's to keep the lines short

 

[roscodog]

Almost two hours for Splash Mountain, got almost to the front of the line when the ride broke down.

 

[All Aboard]

My longest wait anywhere was 3 1/2 hours for The Beast and Kings Island in 1982

Small world, I worked at that coaster in 1982. Summer between Jr and Sr years of high school.

 

[HomeSweetDisney]

An hour. It was for Space Mountain

 

[Uncleromulus]

30 minutes for the Safari at the AK.
And 30 minutes is our "cut off" for any ride. Any posted wait longer than that, we skip it.

When I went as a child (pre-Epcot etc) I can remember waiting hours lined up to drive into WDW, it used to be bumper to bumper cars. Then you waited hours for every ride. At epcot when Living Seas was new we waited well over 2 hours.

 

[NeverlandClub23]

2 1/2 hours at Splash Mountain back when we used to go in July pre-FastPass.

 

[kakiegirl]

1 hour and 15 minutes for Dumbo July 2002. DD was 3 at the time and I really wanted her to ride it. Now however, we skip if for Aladian and Triceretops Spin, as they basically are the same thing. We will not do that again.

 

[Matty_Disfan]

2 hours in blistering heat for 20,000 leagues under the sea in 1986.

I can't believe more people haven't been stucking waiting for that ultra-slow loader.

 

[bpg]

was it worth the 2 hour wait?

Wow, WDW's lines are much shorter than Disneyland, even after the introduction of the famous Fastpass. We never stood in any line at WDW at any park for longer than 25 minutes during Spring break.

As a kid growing up near Disneyland, back in the 60's and 70's, our family waited in many very long lines. Starting with the cars lined up all the way down Harbor Street and around the corner to Ball Street. It took at least 30 minutes just to get to the parking lot entrance. Then you would get out of your car, and stand for another 30 minutes to SQEEZE into the parking lot tram that would take you to the park entrance. All the "E" rides were a minimum wait of 1 hour, most were closer to an hour and a half. The Matterhorn line, even to this day, wraps all the way around the mountain on both sides. We've never stood less that 45 minutes in the Matterhorn line.

We went to Disneyland for grad-nite in '77. This was the year Space Mountain opened. We waited in line just over 3 hours. Was it worth it? Yep, we were young party happy teenagers that were just graduated and free, and one of the first to ride this new attraction. Time was no issue. Now, there's no ride on earth I would wait 3 hours to ride! LOVE FASTPASS!

Peter Pan ride is always a long wait. We've stood in that line with our own kids years ago for 90 minutes. No ride in Fantasy Land is shorter that 1 hour wait until 11:00 at night when all the little kids go home.

Opening year of Rodger Rabbit: we stood in that line for 2 hours. Every time we thought we were almost there, we ended up in another room with switch backs. This ride is worth a 20 minute wait, but not 2 hours.

Another ride we stood in on opening year was the Rocket Rods. Again, over a 2 hour wait. This was the worst ride Disney has ever come up with. I feel like that's 2 hours of my life I'll never get back! I still am unforgiving to Disney for that one!

We spent this past New Years Eve at Disneyland. Indiana Jones ride was never shorter than a 45 minute wait. But the worst line of all times was the Haunted Mansion. The line was a 180 minute wait from the entrance sign, but the line continued past the entrance sign all the way back to New Orleans Square train entrance. Fastpasses ran out at 9:30 that morning. We didn't stand in that line!!! We waited till late that evening and the wait was only 65 minutes long. The attraction was the Nightmare Before Christmas set-up. OUTSTANDING!!! Definitely worth the 65 minute wait.
