What's been your longest wait time for an attraction?

[Cedric Rose]

For us it was Aerosmith RN'R Coaster which was stated to be 2 hrs but ended up being 2.5. We managed to get front row in the end so it was cool. Loved it the first time.

Over at Universal we waited 3 hrs for Forbidden Journey at HP because the ride had mechanical difficulties. We're from Australia so our attitude is that's what we're for so we'll grin our teeth and bear it. It's a long and expensive wait to come back. The next day the projected time was 60 mins but it felt like 10 after that first episode.

75 minutes for Space Mountain.

Posted wait was 30 minutes and it was raining so the indoor queue seemed like a good choice.

By the time we realized the wait would be greatly extended we’d already invested time so we stuck it out. And, Florida rain.

As a rule 30 minute is our standby cutoff - it used to be 20 minutes but crowds being what they are these days we had to adjust a little.

45 minutes for Test Track, but it was rope drop, I was expecting 15. We waited so long because it broke down, we wound up being evacuated. That happened to us twice that day. Generally 20 to 30 minutes is all I will do.

Yep, this is us. We waited an hour for Joy and Sadness, because there is no FP+, and we definitely wouldn't do it again. We never wait more than 20-25 minutes for a ride, there's no reason to. FP+ is spectacular.

65 minutes when Toy Story Mania first opened.

~45 minutes for both Test Track and Frozen. Our wait at Test Track was during the "original" version. We had used FPs but just as we were getting ready to walk into the pre-show room, the ride went down. We thought it would only be about 5-10 minutes until it was up and running again. After 20 minutes we asked if we could have our FPs back and return later and the CMs said "no", that if we had already handed them in, we couldn't get them back because at that point, we'd already merged with the standby line and the CMs would have no way to know who had used FP and who didn't so *everyone* could say they used FP and try to get them back. So we waited it out.

At Frozen -- it was the 2nd day the ride was open and there were numerous breakdowns. In fact, it was broken down when our FP window opened. They wouldn't let anyone get in line until it was up and running again so we wet and hung out in China for about 30 minutes and kept checking the app. Once it was open again we ran over and got in line. Even though we had FP, it was still a 45 minute wait because the ride had been down for an hour and everyone with FPs was returning at once. By the time we got off the ride, they had closed the standby line and the FP line was hours long.

I waited 2 hrs for the Mummy during Grad Bash back in 2012.

For Disney, I waited 90ish minutes for Frozen when it was new.

Probably about 1.5 hours for RnR or FEA. The wait time for RnR was posted as 45 and we had nothing else to do as we had done all the other rides, so thought why not? Multiple announcements were made saying the wait times were wrong and we didn't listen, it took about double the posted time and that line is boringggggg. FEA was our first trip back to Disney since it opened and I wanted to try it. We had about an hour to kill before trying to find a spot for Illuminations so decided to ride it. Honestly the slowest moving line I've ever been in in my entire life. I will never wait more than maybe 15 minutes for that ride!

Our first WDW trip ever, 1997 the week before Easter, our first ride was Space Mtn and we waited 90 mins. I'm certain we didn't get there for RD, didn't know what we know now. Then, we just thought that this was the way it is.

2.5 hours for Soarin the week it opened. Had a limited schedule for visiting the park but really wanted to ride, so I didn’t have much of a chance to avoid any crowds.
