The longest I’ve ever waited was 3.5 hours for revenge of the mummy at Universal Studios Hollywood. At the end of the day I couldn’t get on any more rides because my family wanted to see the harry potter area and the lines were huge.
wow. i remember going twice in the summer to the orlando parks and the line for this ride both times was under 30 minutes. must've been extremely lucky
I once waited almost 6 hours for The Smiler during its opening year. The queue path for it is still massive, but the line was still spilling out onto the midway. I got to the station and the ride broke down and didn't open for the rest of the day. I didn't even get to ride it.
Took me 3.5 hours to get on hagrids during December 2022, due to it taking about 25 minutes to get a train on and people queuing for the ride while it started off the morning broken down
My longest queue line wait was 3 hours for Volcano The Blast Coaster. This was by far the worst queue line I've ever had to wait in because it was around 90 degrees in there and we were barely moving. I even remember a few people passed out in there because it was so hot. But the ride was worth it.
My longest wait was three and a half hours for X2 back when it was X. Tiring as that was, it was nothing compared to what I’d feel experiencing your La Ronde front entrance wait. That would make my blood boil. That’s just staggering incompetence on an epic scale.
I was in disbelief when I saw that line. The one thing I learned for a future visit is that they actually have a second entrance in back so I may try that next time if I see this again.
Canobie Coaster Hm. Good to know, as I was planning to visit that park for the first time this summer (if it’s open by then, etc.). The longest I waited to get into a park was at Magic Mountain (about an hour), and that was despite the fact that I got there early. And most of that line was in the merciless direction sun. It was brutal.
I know someone who waited about 9 hours to ride Hagrid's on opening day. They went in at 1:00 and came out almost after 10. That's something that I'd never be able to do.
I remember on vengence we hopped in line during the bright day time and we were able to get a night ride in pitch black. i remember it broke down for 30 minutes at a time every 30 minutes or so. we had a dance party in the queue, people making the beat and stuff. such a fun memory
The Soaring ride at disney. We waited like an hour and twenty mins, and it wasn’t that good. I’m working up the courage to ride more big rides, but can’t until summer.
On June 10th 2019, I waited Around 5 hours for Hagrid due to breakdowns and weather delays. The second longest line was just under 4 hours for Flight of Passage on May 25 2017.
1.5 hours for steel vengence? i waited 2-4 hours for it and got off sometime around 12:30 AM. the day before we had fast lane and i waited 1.5 hours for vengeance. this was pre-pandemic by the way
The longest wait i had to wait for was SUPERMAN ULTIMATE FLIGHT in six flags great adv, for 2 HOURS AND 30 MIN. You prob think im insane for waiting all that time, and i agree.
The longest I ever waited was for my first and only ever ride on firehawk, they announced it was closing a few days before i visited so I didn’t care that I had to wait in a 4 HOUR queue, because it would be torn down 2 weeks later, I also luckily snagged a ride in on vortex, and that was lucky.
I have dim memories of long lines to get into the front gate of Kings Dominion when we went there back in the 1970s. Of course, in those days nobody had anything like an advance ticket reservation. We made the mistake of going to Canobie on Mother's Day once, with their mothers-get-in-free-with-kids promotion. Never again. There was a long queue just to get in the gate (nothing like that La Ronde situation though), and anything that was remotely kid-friendly had an enormous line. It was 30 minutes just for the chicken-finger stand--never saw anything like it. The Canobie 500 cars had an hour-plus line. My spouse and kid went to wait there, and I went and rode the Corkscrew (a walk-on), went over to the Palace Arcade and played a bunch of rounds of pinball (this was before the Big Bear Lodge area existed), then went to check on them and they were still standing in line.
@@CanobieCoaster I was accustomed to the May pre-season (and the September post-season) being light; that's always been my favorite time to go, since I don't care so much about the waterpark. But I had to adjust my expectations--Mother's Day is a special case.
I've had some long queues: 2 hours for Valravn in 2016 Multiple 1.5-2 hour waits for Millennium Force, Maverick, and Steel Vengeance Probably some long lines at Disney when I was little However, the really crowded Saturday at CP Haunt last year brought the following wait times (I bought FL+ ahead of time so I didn't have to bear any of these lines): 3 hours for Raptor, Steel Vengeance, and Top Thrill Dragster, 2.5 hours for Millennium Force, 2 hours for GateKeeper, Maverick, and Valravn, 90 minutes for Corkscrew, Magnum, and Rougarou, 60 minutes for Blue Streak and Iron Dragon, and 45 minutes for Mine Ride, Gemini, and Wicked Twister
The one I remember was 3 hours for it’s a small world at Walt Disney World in Florida, I was 13 when this occurred. Majority of my theme park visits have been with my autistic older brother so we often don’t wait in line (he can’t wait). I’ve also waited 3 hours for Journey to Atlantis at Sea World in Orlando, that was worth it though.
@@CanobieCoaster It was long, it was also June so the park was packed. I will say they did a wonderful job controlling the number of guests in line for the attraction. Was it worth it, absolutely, would I do it again, absolutely not! Since then I've never actually seen the other Disney parks, only magic kingdom.
One time I waited for Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts at Universal Studios Florida in 2016 for 40 minutes in the single rider queue. By the time I finally got to the ride, it broke down and stayed that way for the rest of the day. It wasn't that much of a disappointment because I already rode it once that day but never the less that's one of the reasons I consider re-rides to be a risk sometimes. The longest I usually wait for rides are 40 minutes and I am one of those people whose filled with endless patience personally. I was even surprised to see how quickly the lines for rides at the Disney parks are. But my personal strategy for rides is to do their most popular ones first and immediately get from one to the next and only do re-rides after you've done everything else in the parks (or if it's not that busy at the time or if the ride is just that awesome). I also agree with Ripsaw Falls at Islands of Adventure. Maybe I should make that my first ride in the park because that ride is incredibly popular and it can break down a bit. Then there's the Incredible Hulk Coaster. After waiting for over an hour to ride, it closed because of what the operators thought looked like a giant thunder cloud but in reality was just a cloud that looked very dark but was also very harmless. But that happened when we there for the opening of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in 2010 so another part of my strategy is to simply not go to parks like that on the year that something big like that just opened.
I waited in a line nearing 5 hours for Avatar: Flight of Passage. It was pretty painful. I remember heading there right after lunch and the sun was down by the time I rode.
I’m pretty sure my longest wait for a coaster was Slinky dog dash, which is probably why I dislike the coaster so much, other long waits I’ve done was Lightning Rod, Rockit, Hulk, Cheetah Hunt and Mako and looking back the only ride I would willingly wait over 1 hour for is definitely Lightning Rod.
The longest I’ve had to deal with was the radiator springs ride at Disneyland in its opening week I had to wait 4 hours to get on it but it was worth it for a brand new ride
My longest are 90 minutes for hagrids, 60 min for hagrids, 150 min for batman the ride at great adventure, 90 min for skull mountain, 70 min for dark knight coaster at great adventure
1995 Indiana Jones Adventure at Disneyland. 2.5 hours. The queue extended into Frontierland. Fortunately, once you're into the main outdoor queue it is quite good and the indoor queue remains one of the greatest queues of all time. It was worth it at that point.
i waited 4 hours for the seven dwarves mine train. the line stated it was 2 hours so me and my family just sucked it up and got in because it was a new ride but when we were an hour into the line it broke down for 2 hours. we then had to wait another hour to get to the front of the line once it was operational again. definitely not worth the wait
I waited a total of 3.5 hrs for Yukon Striker in 2019, and it was because the ride went down the first time, and my bro had to use the loo. We were in line for an hour when this happened. Later on in the day, we tried again, and waited 2 hrs. Funny enough, that same year at the Point SteVe was 70 mins and I didn't ride. Came back later, and it was 80, so no dice. If I'm with a group, as I was there, I won't wait for anything over an hour.
@@CanobieCoaster We were there for two days, and the first day, it went down around 3, and didn't open til the next day. We went back like a month later, and while in the water park, it was running magnificently, in terms of reliable.
Longest queue wait for me was 90 minutes for Maverick in 2008. I don't recall the wait I had for Hagrids in 2023 as I didn't have my phone with me, but I would say 50 to 70 minutes including a break down. I deliberately avoid Saturdays at parks, unless the weather is trash, and when I visit out of region parks, I will typically get fast pass.
I thankfully don’t have to wait over an hour at parks anymore before my parents got me the skip the line paper for passing the entrance line by going on the exit I used to get very impatient
Longest for me was RITA at alton towers, it was so freaking busy and it took about an 1 hour in my mind. From what I remember we had a fastpass to go on it but it was even longer to go on it than without them fastpasses. I also rode crushes coaster in disneyland paris twice and the ride broke down so we waited for like an hour again.
The ones at least 2 hours for me in the past few years: Steel Vengeance was 150 minutes. Ghostrider was 135 minutes during the Boysenberry Festival, Stranger Things Maze at Universal Studios Hollywood was 150 minutes and was quite possibly the worst maze I saw that night.
Yeah, if you’re not after all the credits and just want enjoyable rerides, that makes sense. But if you’re after all the credits, it’s either wait half an hour for Laff Trakk first thing in the morning, or wait 90 minutes for it at any other time of the day.
This was back when I was in high school, so I had to work around my school schedule. Hence why I was there in summer. But now I go in the off-peak times.
Question, I have seen your complaint on La Ronde on a few videos now.. I am dying to know, how early were you at the park? I am trying to work out if being there an hour say, before opening, would have prevented that.
I did Granby Zoo beforehand. So I got to La Ronde around 1. I had a Flash Pass to deal with ride lines. Wasn't expecting a nightmare line just to get in.
@@CanobieCoaster Ok got it. So if I ever go I will definitely go at least half hour before opening. I only really want to go for Goliath anyway. Drops are my favourite element of any coaster, period, and that looks just non stop up and down so I presume I will love it.
I went to Universal Studios for GradBash and I got to ride Velocicoaster for the first time. I waited 120 minutes in line. But of course it was absolutely worth it. 🤩 #worththewait
It amazes me that Outlaw Run rarely gets a long line. Is it because of where it is in the park? It was a walk on for me on Memorial Day weekend a few years ago.
This isn't a ride but the longest I've waited was about 4 hours. I had this horrible stomach ache (I was about 9) and I was waiting in the hospital. It was late at night and I couldn't sleep because of the pain. I went to the hospital but it turned out there were a lot of emergencies that night. There was nothing to read because all the children's books were for, like, toddlers, and I couldn't do anything about my pain. I didn't sleep when my mum told me to, (idk why),probably because the chairs were hard and cold and had no cushion. That was awful.
My longest wait was 80 min for Taron, this summer on a Sunday🤭 normally I never go in summer weekends, one month later on a Sunday in Sept, only 15 min waits the whole day.🤣
4 hours, X2, October 2013. It was my 9th birthday and my Uncle brought me, we had plenty of conversation so we were entertained, and I still remember being shit-my-pants-scared as soon as we got to the station. It was so worth it tho that thing will always be my number 1 (at least until I ride Eejanaika lmao)
The longest I wated for a ride was about 2.5 hours for the smiler, I thought It was gonna be a short queue as the ride just opened, but I misjudged and the ride broke down for about 45 mins aswell, but I was too stubborn to leave
90 minutes for steel vengeance is quick. I have the gold passes and we got there early and v lined it to sv 30 mins early and still had a 3 hour wait. 90 mins is nothing.
I agree 90 minutes isn't bad at all. I usually get FastLane if I'm there for a full day since I'm coming from a distance, but I arrived in the late afternoon so it didn't make sense on my first day.
I got the gold pass and I got the all season fast lane. I live near the park so it is easy to drive there. But the 1 day I went last year with the gold pass I got there and they wouldn't let me in the park because it was at maximum capacity. I knew some people who were there and they told me that the wait time for every ride was tripled. Ever since those gold passes it was packed
2 hours for Taron and it closed do to technical issues when I was in the station. 5 min later it opened and I waited 1 and a half hour before finally trying it. It was worth it tho:)
I waited 6 hours for Yukon Striker in April 2019 seasons pass holders preview night for yukon. Got in like at around 5:30 and got on it around midnight. Cant say it was worth it hah
I saw ghost riders line at 100 minutes last time I went but luckily we got fast lane because the lines were out of control my first visit and we just did it 5 times in a row with fast lane when like nobody was using fast lane that day!
Waiting almost 2 hours for kings dominions river rapids ride wasn't worth it in the slightest. Neither was an hour and a half for Jack rabbit at Kennywood
@@CanobieCoaster the operations are always painfully slow on Jack rabbit. The line didn't go into the midway, they were taking forever to dispatch, but that's just how Kennywood is lol
The longest wait, was flight of passage. I spent 4 hours because of breakdowns. We were 1 hour in , while the line said 2.5. We ended up waiting 4 hours. Velocicoaster opening day also got us at 3 hours
Millennium Force when I was a kid was awful. Raptor was bad to as well. Diamondback was the first time ive ever experienced a high capacity ride. I always get fast lane or flash pass on buys days I hate lines.
My longest waites were 100min. for F.L.Y , 90min. for Taron , 2.5 hours for Flucht von Novgorod ( it only rode three cars on opening day this year and had two breakdowns ) and the stupidest thing I've done waiting 3hours for Bandit 😢
Canobie Coaster For an intamin LSM i’m pretty surprised too, and their operations typically move pretty quick on other rides but i’ve seen trains stack on that ride almost every time I’ve ridden
Canobie Coaster I know! I’m hoping to start a job in maintenance there in the near future so I’ll deliver the inside information when I get to the bottom of it 😂
Wow found this old video, 2 year wait.. 3 hours for Volcano first year, with only half the seats installed. 90 min 1st ride OL:FoF, Hypersonic prob. too. Of course rode them all with no wait eventually. Maybe worst was Fahrenheit, 1 hour of obnoxious kids and heat.
The first and only time I visited Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom I waited 2 hours with my niece for Dumbo! No kidding, every other ride in the park that day was a walk-on!
My worst wait was about 3 hours for Rocket Rods at Disneyland. That attraction is long gone. Unsurprisingly, it wasn't even remotely worth that wait.. Especially after a 14 hr flight to California LOL.
my longest wait time is when my dad went to the store for milk
Lol
I bet he moved houses without you coming
The longest I’ve ever waited was 3.5 hours for revenge of the mummy at Universal Studios Hollywood. At the end of the day I couldn’t get on any more rides because my family wanted to see the harry potter area and the lines were huge.
I was able to avoid a wait on that one by using a single rider line a few years ago.
wow. i remember going twice in the summer to the orlando parks and the line for this ride both times was under 30 minutes. must've been extremely lucky
I once waited almost 6 hours for The Smiler during its opening year. The queue path for it is still massive, but the line was still spilling out onto the midway. I got to the station and the ride broke down and didn't open for the rest of the day. I didn't even get to ride it.
That stinks!
Took me 3.5 hours to get on hagrids during December 2022, due to it taking about 25 minutes to get a train on and people queuing for the ride while it started off the morning broken down
My longest queue line wait was 3 hours for Volcano The Blast Coaster. This was by far the worst queue line I've ever had to wait in because it was around 90 degrees in there and we were barely moving. I even remember a few people passed out in there because it was so hot. But the ride was worth it.
Yeah the Volcano queue was nightmarish, but it was such a unique ride.
My longest wait was three and a half hours for X2 back when it was X. Tiring as that was, it was nothing compared to what I’d feel experiencing your La Ronde front entrance wait. That would make my blood boil. That’s just staggering incompetence on an epic scale.
I was in disbelief when I saw that line. The one thing I learned for a future visit is that they actually have a second entrance in back so I may try that next time if I see this again.

I remember on vengence we hopped in line during the bright day time and we were able to get a night ride in pitch black. i remember it broke down for 30 minutes at a time every 30 minutes or so. we had a dance party in the queue, people making the beat and stuff. such a fun memory
That's cool!
Things you don't have to worry about when Dorney is your home park
Lol. The longest wait I've seen there is like 15 minutes for the Wild Mouse.
I actually had to weight an hour for the wild mouse and 50 minutes for talon 😂
I got stuck in a 3 hour line for X way back in the day
Yikes. I've heard that line can be bad. Longest I've had to wait for it was 45ish minutes when it ran one train.
Same.
Not me but my dad in 1994, the year the raptor at cedar point opened he waited almost 6 hours
Wow!
I couldn’t imagine that
The Soaring ride at disney. We waited like an hour and twenty mins, and it wasn’t that good. I’m working up the courage to ride more big rides, but can’t until summer.
That one used to have even worse waits before the extra theater was built.
I usually get Fast Lane, but the longest line I consistently wait in is Lost Coaster.
Lost Coaster was slow the one time I rode it.
On June 10th 2019, I waited Around 5 hours for Hagrid due to breakdowns and weather delays. The second longest line was just under 4 hours for Flight of Passage on May 25 2017.
Was that the Hagrid opening day?

Wow!
Ur lucky I waited 3.5 hours for steel vengeance. Now I buy fast lane plus every time
I went on a weekday so it was bad, but not as bad as other days.
I waited 5+ hours for Steel Vengeance due to COVID restrictions
I already knew Disney was going to be on here lol
Btw love ghost rider
Me too!

I don't blame you one bit for waiting that long if that was your only chance to ride it again.
Canobie Coaster yeah but I missed half the coasters in the park cuz of that

I went on Hagrid's while visiting Universal last yr on Christmas Eve, and I only waited 90 minutes. I entered the queue around 9:20 am
That's pretty good for Hagrid's!
I've had some long queues:
2 hours for Valravn in 2016
Multiple 1.5-2 hour waits for Millennium Force, Maverick, and Steel Vengeance
Probably some long lines at Disney when I was little
However, the really crowded Saturday at CP Haunt last year brought the following wait times (I bought FL+ ahead of time so I didn't have to bear any of these lines): 3 hours for Raptor, Steel Vengeance, and Top Thrill Dragster, 2.5 hours for Millennium Force, 2 hours for GateKeeper, Maverick, and Valravn, 90 minutes for Corkscrew, Magnum, and Rougarou, 60 minutes for Blue Streak and Iron Dragon, and 45 minutes for Mine Ride, Gemini, and Wicked Twister

Amazing video. You deserve more subs
Thanks!
I heard that hagrid got to 14 hours on opening day
Me too.
I waited 6 hours for opening day of steel vengeance at cedar point
Were you actually able to get on it at least with the bump it had?
I also waited 2.5 hours for gatekeeper on opening day
I'm interested to see how Orion's opening day goes tomorrow with covid.
Cool to see you in Tivoli Copenhagen. As you can see, Det Gyldne Tårn, in the background. Vertigo is sadly closed now. Hello from Aalborg
I wish Vertigo were still there. That was a great ride.
One time I waited for Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts at Universal Studios Florida in 2016 for 40 minutes in the single rider queue. By the time I finally got to the ride, it broke down and stayed that way for the rest of the day.

Whenever I go to a new park, I usually use the strategy of which ride would I be most devastated if it broke down.
Did you know that On Alton Towers opening day, Corkscrews queue was 6-9 hours long.
I'm not surprised. Opening day for revolutionary rides are always packed.
I waited in a line nearing 5 hours for Avatar: Flight of Passage. It was pretty painful. I remember heading there right after lunch and the sun was down by the time I rode.

I waited 3.5 hours for flight of passage because I only had one day at the park and I didn't want to miss it.
Understandable. That's the best ride there.
Ridiculously, 90 minutes for GhostRider is not even a bad day.
This was a random Tuesday. I've seen it worse, but that time FastLane was a necessity.

2.5 hours for Superman SFNE and Snow White at Magic Kingdom, during the whole Superman wait i had to pee which did not help at all
Yikes, yeah I always use the bathroom before a long wait.
I waited 2.5 hours for Time Traveler after it opened. Worth!
I think the longest I waited for Time Traveler was an hour, but I timed it to avoid the morning-early afternoon rush.
The ones at least 2 hours for me in the past few years: Steel Vengeance was 150 minutes. Ghostrider was 135 minutes during the Boysenberry Festival, Stranger Things Maze at Universal Studios Hollywood was 150 minutes and was quite possibly the worst maze I saw that night.
I did the Stranger Things maze in Orlando right before close so it was only a 15-20 minute wait. The Orlando one looked a lot better than Hollywood's.
Two that come to mind was first time on maverick and millennium which were booth 3 hr and Pandora flight which was 7 hours
Yikes! 7 hours?
Good video! For whatever reason, I thought it would be worth it to wait 2.5 hours for Laff Trakk at Hersheypark.
Yikes! I've been lucky to avoid bad waits on that one. The one time I rode it, I think it had a half hour wait.
That’s the ride to make a bee line to at park opening if you want all the credits.
I prefer to knockout Fahrenheit since I actually enjoy that ride and want to ride it a few times.
Yeah, if you’re not after all the credits and just want enjoyable rerides, that makes sense. But if you’re after all the credits, it’s either wait half an hour for Laff Trakk first thing in the morning, or wait 90 minutes for it at any other time of the day.
Jeez 2.5 hours for Ripsaw Falls. Just go in November. The park is basically empty.
This was back when I was in high school, so I had to work around my school schedule. Hence why I was there in summer. But now I go in the off-peak times.
Question, I have seen your complaint on La Ronde on a few videos now.. I am dying to know, how early were you at the park? I am trying to work out if being there an hour say, before opening, would have prevented that.
I did Granby Zoo beforehand. So I got to La Ronde around 1. I had a Flash Pass to deal with ride lines. Wasn't expecting a nightmare line just to get in.
@@CanobieCoaster Ok got it. So if I ever go I will definitely go at least half hour before opening. I only really want to go for Goliath anyway. Drops are my favourite element of any coaster, period, and that looks just non stop up and down so I presume I will love it.
Little late to the party, but I waited in a 3.5 hour line for Goliath at Great America. It was freezing, boring, and extremely slow moving.
Yikes, Fright Fest?
When El Toro was new I waited over 2 and a half hours, it was well worth it
Nice!
I waited atleast 2 hours for pantheon with my friend, just for the ride to shut down when there were 2 or 4 people in front of us.
Oh no!
My longest lines were on taron, F.L.Y and Flug der dämonen. They were 1.5 hours but it was worth all three lines
Phantasialand always seems to be busy.
I went to Universal Studios for GradBash and I got to ride Velocicoaster for the first time. I waited 120 minutes in line. But of course it was absolutely worth it. 🤩
#worththewait
It is!
The longest wait time I heard was Kingda Ka at 3 hours.
And that one can break down a lot too.
The longest I've waited for a ride was 2.5 hours for Crush's coaster in Walt Disney Studios Paris
I'm lucky I had early entry for that one.
@@CanobieCoaster I should've done the same, but I arrived late at the park...
Shoutout to the Nightmareee!!!!
It was an odd coaster for sure.
@@CanobieCoaster are you from the Northeast?? not many people have been to great escape
Yes I am. I only rode that coaster once when I was 7, but I usually try to go up to Lake George for a weekend trip every year.
people who waited 8+ hours to ride hagrid's motorbike ride at Orlando on opening day: amateurs
That line looked nuts.
The longest I’ve waited was on Outlaw Run @ my home park in 40 min for a night ride
It amazes me that Outlaw Run rarely gets a long line. Is it because of where it is in the park? It was a walk on for me on Memorial Day weekend a few years ago.
Canobie Coaster yes I think so. It is always walk on, but I had to wait 40 min because it was in the 60s after Christmas
This isn't a ride but the longest I've waited was about 4 hours. I had this horrible stomach ache (I was about 9) and I was waiting in the hospital. It was late at night and I couldn't sleep because of the pain. I went to the hospital but it turned out there were a lot of emergencies that night. There was nothing to read because all the children's books were for, like, toddlers, and I couldn't do anything about my pain. I didn't sleep when my mum told me to, (idk why),probably because the chairs were hard and cold and had no cushion. That was awful.
Waiting times at hospitals can be brutal. I hope you're ok!
@@CanobieCoaster Thank you! I'm ok now :) We still don't know what it was!
My longest wait was 80 min for Taron, this summer on a Sunday🤭 normally I never go in summer weekends, one month later on a Sunday in Sept, only 15 min waits the whole day.🤣
I had a wait like that on a summer weekday for Taron.
My longest was 90 minutes for Superman at Great Adventure when it broke down. I've also waited an hour on various occasions for various rides.
That one often has a bad wait.
4 hours, X2, October 2013. It was my 9th birthday and my Uncle brought me, we had plenty of conversation so we were entertained, and I still remember being shit-my-pants-scared as soon as we got to the station. It was so worth it tho that thing will always be my number 1 (at least until I ride Eejanaika lmao)
Glad you got on it!
Me who waited 4 hours just to check in a luggage
Yikes!
The longest I wated for a ride was about 2.5 hours for the smiler, I thought It was gonna be a short queue as the ride just opened, but I misjudged and the ride broke down for about 45 mins aswell, but I was too stubborn to leave
Oh wow!
@@CanobieCoaster worth it tbh, love that ride
Ive waited 3 hours for a Flying Dinosaur night ride and it was worth it!
Yes that ride is incredible!
90 minutes for steel vengeance is quick. I have the gold passes and we got there early and v lined it to sv 30 mins early and still had a 3 hour wait. 90 mins is nothing.
I agree 90 minutes isn't bad at all. I usually get FastLane if I'm there for a full day since I'm coming from a distance, but I arrived in the late afternoon so it didn't make sense on my first day.
I got the gold pass and I got the all season fast lane. I live near the park so it is easy to drive there. But the 1 day I went last year with the gold pass I got there and they wouldn't let me in the park because it was at maximum capacity. I knew some people who were there and they told me that the wait time for every ride was tripled. Ever since those gold passes it was packed
2 hours for Taron and it closed do to technical issues when I was in the station. 5 min later it opened and I waited 1 and a half hour before finally trying it. It was worth it tho:)
I've had to wait a while for that ride too.
My longest wait was 3 to 3 and 1/2 hour wait for Copperhead Strike on opening day
I was there the following weekend and the line was long too.
Could’ve been better if I planned the day better
I think I waited nearly an hour for Fahrenheit at Hersheypark. In 2022. Hersheypark, please fix your operations
That line is always bad.
@@CanobieCoaster and that was with the skip-the-line pass
1.5 hours is long? A 2 hour queue is normal at summer here in germany.
I usually try to avoid queues by visiting on specific days. The longest wait I've waited in Germany was probably 40ish minutes for Fluch von Novgorod.
welp just went to a carnival tonight and HOLY SHIT the lines were so long bruh
Wow!
I waited 6 hours for Yukon Striker in April 2019 seasons pass holders preview night for yukon. Got in like at around 5:30 and got on it around midnight. Cant say it was worth it hah
Oh my, that's a crazy wait.
I saw ghost riders line at 100 minutes last time I went but luckily we got fast lane because the lines were out of control my first visit and we just did it 5 times in a row with fast lane when like nobody was using fast lane that day!
That sounds like the norm for GhostRider.
The lines at Cedar Point are so bad that I just buy year round fast lane for platinum pass.
I don't blame you.
The longest I had to wait was 2 and a half hours for nemesis inferno at Thorpe Park, it was really fun though so it was worth it
I had a lengthy wait for Nemesis Inferno as well, but not that bad.
The longest wait time I’ve ever experienced is 2 hours and 15 minutes for richochet at Carowinds. I was 8.
Wow!
Waiting almost 2 hours for kings dominions river rapids ride wasn't worth it in the slightest. Neither was an hour and a half for Jack rabbit at Kennywood
How far did Jack Rabbit's line extend onto the midway if it was that long? Or were the operations just that slow?
@@CanobieCoaster the operations are always painfully slow on Jack rabbit. The line didn't go into the midway, they were taking forever to dispatch, but that's just how Kennywood is lol
@@SkyrushFanboy I usually find the operators dispatch trains fairly quickly there. The issue is that they're given just one train even on busy days.
Bruh I literally waited 7 hours for Hagrid’s and 4 hours for SteVe you are literally lucky
Was the 7 hour wait opening day for Hagrid's?
Canobie Coaster a week after it opened
@@BOI91 I'm so glad they use the virtual queue for it now.
Canobie Coaster yea
The longest wait, was flight of passage. I spent 4 hours because of breakdowns. We were 1 hour in , while the line said 2.5. We ended up waiting 4 hours. Velocicoaster opening day also got us at 3 hours
Yikes!
The longest for me was 2 hours for hagrids, it broke and I never got to ride, I spent 2 weeks in Florida for the ride and didn’t get on it
That's awful!
my longest was 2 in a half hours to wait in the new water ride line at Silver Dollar City. It was worth it though on a 100 degree day
I just missed that ride. It looked really good!
A few weeks ago we waited around 2 and a half hours for. The smiler but we got front row so it all ended up ok
Lucky you got the front!
Millennium Force when I was a kid was awful. Raptor was bad to as well. Diamondback was the first time ive ever experienced a high capacity ride. I always get fast lane or flash pass on buys days I hate lines.
I do the same unless it's my home park.
I waited 3.5 hours for ghostrider once the op let us get the back so it was worth it
Was that during Scary Farm? I've heard the park is a madhouse for that event.
@@CanobieCoaster no
@@CanobieCoaster it was so long because they where loading entire trains of fast lane
A nice 3:30 for flight of passage at WDW BEST flat ride!
Love that ride! I always get in line right before close when it's wildly overestimated.
Longest I’ve waited is 3 hours for the swarm at Thorpe park
Wow that's long!
Back in 06 I waited 4-1/2 hours to ride kingda ka. There was a dj and vendors selling drinks
Yikes!
My longest waites were 100min. for F.L.Y , 90min. for Taron , 2.5 hours for Flucht von Novgorod ( it only rode three cars on opening day this year and had two breakdowns ) and the stupidest thing I've done waiting 3hours for Bandit 😢
That last one sounds brutal.
Cheetah Hunt opening day, 13 year old me waited 5 hours in that line due to multiple break downs
Ouch! That line is always slow even on a less crowded day at that park.
Canobie Coaster For an intamin LSM i’m pretty surprised too, and their operations typically move pretty quick on other rides but i’ve seen trains stack on that ride almost every time I’ve ridden
They always seem to take forever to start checking restraints.
Canobie Coaster I know! I’m hoping to start a job in maintenance there in the near future so I’ll deliver the inside information when I get to the bottom of it 😂
i waited 2.5 hours for joker at sfdk on labor day weekend and it was one train ops
Does that ride ever run two trains?
It does run two trains sometimes but one train ops is way more common than it should
Wow found this old video, 2 year wait..
3 hours for Volcano first year, with only half the seats installed. 90 min 1st ride OL:FoF, Hypersonic prob. too. Of course rode them all with no wait eventually. Maybe worst was Fahrenheit, 1 hour of obnoxious kids and heat.
Volcano is one a lot of people have had to wait for.
Longest by far for me has to be Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at Magic Kingdom, 2.5 hours. Nowhere near worth the wait.
That one is a Fastpass or no for me. It's fun, but way too popular.
The first and only time I visited Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom I waited 2 hours with my niece for Dumbo! No kidding, every other ride in the park that day was a walk-on!
Yikes! I've always heard horror stories about that line.
3 plus hours for Indiana Jones Adventure at Disneyland when it first opened in the 90s. The line stretched back to Main St…
I've heard stories how long that line was.
I waited 5 hours for steel vengeance on opening day and I didn't even get to ride it. And I once waited 4 hours for mili
Steel Vengeance did not have the best oepning day.
@@CanobieCoaster definitely not lol
The longest line I've waited in is toy story midway mania at Hollywood studios WDW it was 90 minutes
I've waited in a long one for that too.
My longest wait was 3 hours to ride the radiator springs racers at Disney California adventure. It was worth the 3 hours tho
I always FastPass that one first for that reason!
My worst wait was about 3 hours for Rocket Rods at Disneyland. That attraction is long gone. Unsurprisingly, it wasn't even remotely worth that wait.. Especially after a 14 hr flight to California LOL.
That ride has always fascinated me.
