What has been the longest time you waited for ride/attraction?

[minijeanie]

For me, undoubtedly has been Test Track...Even when we went in on a EMH day, we still waited. I have waited one hour...

I also found this attraction seems to run out of fast passes quickly..
I remember one summer that by 1:30 pm all fast passes were given out for the day. We ended up riding single lane, which sometimes is just as long as the regular line.

anyone else find this a hard ride to time right?

At Disney, maybe an hour for Space Mountain when I was in college. If the wait says more than 30 minutes now, we grab a FP and come back later.

80 for Splash Mountain, last March (3rd week).

ABout 45 minutes in a deceptively short line for Pooh! It was right when fastpasses came out, saif that the short looking line was a 20 minute wait, DH says no way, it won't be that long, it's a short line. Famous last words. Just as we got to the turnstyle part of the line, yep, about a million fastpassers came up. We stood at the turnstyle for about 20 minutes while all of them got to go. We learned our lesson. Now, if it's something we really want to ride, we grab a FP, then get in line.

Last time I was at WDW was before the FP program started, I think. My friends and I waited for 1:30 for Splash Mountain. We probably would've gotten through faster, but there were like four of us, all teenagers, and we wanted to ride together.

That's easy! It was Christmas Day of the first year that Epcot was open. We waited three hours (yes, 180 minutes) for Spaceship Earth. It was over 90 degrees that day! We were in line with a young teacher from India who had come by herself to see Epcot. We played trivia games and had a great time.

1hour and 20 minutes last year waiting to go on Pooh. Dito with the shorter line and then millions show up with fast passes. Learned the hard way last year and this year was totally different.

I also want the old countdown back
The 5 of us

So far I have waited two years for Expedition Everest.

Last june we waited 1:45 for Kali River Rapids. This was the first time we had visited AK and did not know the length of he line and were fooled by the sign deceptive that said 45 minutes. Later my son and wife waited for 1 hour to ride Dumbo (our son just "had" to ride it right then, not come back later).

Christmas week 2003/04 I waited for about 3/4 of an hour with DD, then 6, who did not want to do Mission Space or TT. What was I thinking, lol!?

 

[disneycrazzzy]

but I waited over 4 hours to ride Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point. It was worth it. It was our last day at the park in 2003 and the ride had been down our whole trip. We got in line at park opening and it was broke down. It started to rain. We kept waiting and miraculously the weather cleared, they started testing, and we got to ride.

I don't believe I've ever waited more than an hour at any ride at Disney. The wonders of FastPass!!!

 

[skeeterbug]

We live 1 hour from Cedar Point, and it makes me giggle when people think an hour wait is long at Disney. Many rides at Cedar Point are at least that. We really appreciate Disney's lines when we go! They are nothing compared to what we are used to.

The first time we rode Space Mountain we waited about an hour and a half and it is still one of my favourite memories of WDW because my DD then 8 and 2 DS's then 6, were as good as gold in the queue and the time just flew. they were so excited to be riding that they just waited patiently and the excitement built and built as we got near to the front.

Two hours for BTMRR at DL... this was many years ago right after the ride opened

I go off season because I don't want to wait too long for rides.

If the ride says anything more than 40 minutes, I won't do it but I have waited in a line that said 20 - 30 minutes and it ended up being longer so I'd say the most I've waited is 45 minutes.

I go early in the AM and I utilize Fastpass whenever possible.

There is just no way I'd wait more than an hour.

Don't forget to apply "Pan's Law" to your wait time!

"Pan's Law" is: *wait time multiplied by the shortness of the ride*

So, for example:

A 30 minute wait time for Dumbo is actually 2 1/2 hours.

A 60 minute wait time for Peter Pan is actually 65 days.

@ DL... (b.f.p -- before fast pass)...
Rocket Rods and Indiana Jones, at least an hour each
Indy was DEFINITELY worth it, but now with F.P. it's much easier...

@ DLP... on a weekend in march (yikes!!! the crowds)
Small World and the Railroad, an hour each

@ WDW MK... it's hard to remember... now we won't wait in much more than a 15-20 min. line... we figure, hey we'll catch it again when it's less crowded this trip, or make it a reason to plan the next trip (LOL)

@ WDW Epcot... Test Track... hour of non-stop thumping, ratcheting song playing through my head for days!!!! though this included MULTIPLE announcements of delays and downtime... but it was the first time and we had to get on...

LOL!
I thought I was the only one who said "Holy Crap" these days.
I don't hear it or see it much.
Gets the point across well, imo.
