When I went to SFOG on August 12 I waited for an hour and a half in the hot, cramped warehouse queue of Batman The Ride. I was next in line to go, when the ride was closed down due to weather. I ended up being stuck in the station for 3 more hours, because I did not want to go out into the storm. Everyone started leaving the park when the parking lot flooded with about 6 inches of water. I along with about 20 other patient people waited until the rain stopped. The ride still did not open until a few hours later when the park was about to close.

6.5 hours for Dragster (and didnt get to ride)
Waited with a person who was waiting all year to ride and thats all they went for. We waited through 1 break down, 1 monster thunderstorm then 1 hour of trying to get the ride up. After the 6.5 hours in the station we were awarded a TTD exit pass and MF Exit pass for anytime that year. So, we at least got 2 rides out of it but still, long time.

At least I enjoy thunderstorms plus I got to see the inner workings of them getting the ride up and running from scratch.



THAT is the EXACT same thing that happened to me on my last day there. We had nothing better to do, so we waited for dragster... while it was closed in the station.

I'd have to say TTD...I had to wait 3-1/2 hours to ride it but then it broke down, so I had to wait a week before going back and actually riding it.

Then about 2-1/2 Hours for Millennium Force on 6/27/04 only because a guy that was too big for the ride wouldn't take the hint and kept trying to fit in the rear seat....His stomache was too big...

The longest line I had to wait in as of Friday: Phantom's Revenge at Kennywood....waited 26 minutes

So basically you waited from like 2pm to close?

That is ridiculous. Even more than my 6 hour wait for Dragster through a storm and downtime and not even getting to ride.

Well, the longest was for Montu @ Busch Gardens Tampa. I went through a thunderstorm, technical problems, blah blah blah for a ride. I was in line for a total of about 4 hours, but if you count my ride on Sheikra, and the hour I spent waiting to walk over to Montu, it'd be about 7 hours for 2 rides on Montu and one ride on Sheikra. (I got off and onto Montu in about 5 minutes. It's now one of my favorite rides, even through all the waiting.)

45 minutes for disaster transport(it was the coolest place in the park). I try to avoid the lines, I would rather ride 1 ride 40 times than 1 once.
