Ride queue's not to miss??

[mya1k9]

So if I stay on site and get the EP I know you skip the line queues, but we are first timers and know some of the queues are cool, so what is worth standing in line for???? For what it's worth we are season pass holders for six flags and are used to 30-45 minute lines, we don't mind waiting to long per say, just want to make sure we don't miss anything either.

The new King Kong ride has some cool things in the regular line. You can see one thing from the EP line but there are a few surprises in the regular line. I didn't want to spoil it for anyone what those surprises are.

I like the Men in Black Queue and the Spiderman queue as well. Also The Mummy has a lot of cool things to look at.

If you are a Harry Potter fan then do the castle tour at some point. It gives you a chance to really look at everything closer.

Perfect, that is exactly what I was looking for!!! For non EP holders what are avarice wait times, peak season, most popular rides???

At peak season you'll be looking at hour plus lines on the big attractions...

Most of the queues are worth a walk through at least once to see stuff. Most of them are pretty well themed. Early in the morning or at the end of the day lines will get shorter.

Ones you should see:
All the Harry Potter stuff.
Transformers - provides a lot of detail for the ride.
Spiderman - same as above, but you can get the gist from the EP line.
M.I.B. - you see most of it from the EP line, but miss the best part.

Probably easier to tell you the ones to definitely skip...
Minions - A few things to look at, but mainly switchbacks
Shreck - same as above
Simpsons - Just some switchbacks showing clips from the show...you'll see all the good stuff after the EP merge.
Terminator - nothing.
Rip Ride Rockitt - Just switchbacks...and if I have to spend even one second in the queue listening to the "hip" safety videos it is too long.
Jurassic Park - nothing but some videos...
Cat in the Hat - just switchbacks
Seus Trolley - switchbacks
Poseidon's Fury - you'll see everything from the EP line that you see in standby...and you'll be up at the front if they start the preshow outside the first chamber (do they even do this anymore?)
Dr. Doom - debatable...there is stuff to see and a large video screen giving details. But if they are only running one tower the standby line takes FOREVER...
Hulk - don't know, I haven't seen the new queue...the old one wasn't anything special but the new one is probably a lot better.

Jurassic Park - nothing but some videos...

When we were there, it was themed very well like Jurassic Park, and they had employees carrying around baby dinosaurs that roared at people. Was surprising.

I forgot all about those safety videos.

I've always thought E.T. had an awesome queue. Just my two cents!

It tried to linger to get to see Bartanicus appear and give his speech and got pushed along by the cast members last month. There was no real crowd and no hurry. Don't know why they would do that to us. I love the E.T. forest (and the smell).
