mine is 1 hour 40 minutes. that was queuing for air at alton towers. it took 1 hour in the master queue and 40 minutes in the front row queue. also the ride broke down about 5 times, the train failed to leave the station.

We waited 3 hours for Top Thrill Dragster at CP 'cause it kept breaking down...As riding it (and MF and Magnum and Raptor and Mantis and on and on and on...) was our main purpose for visiting, and TTD seemed to be closed for repairs more than open at the time we were there, it was the right thing to do. Man, it was worth it...but the next day we were there, our wait was (only?) close to 1.5 hours for the front seat...It was a *really* long time, but that ride is so kewl and unique and historic, I'd do it again...but only 'cause it was kinda a once in a lifetime (so far) thing, we live 10 hours from CP and would only be there 2 days! We played games, we met people from all over, we were able to watch TTD...and the fireworks at night...it wasn't as bad as it could have been!

It's been a long time, so I don't remember exactly how long it was, but I waited in line for Vortex at PKI for somewhere between 2 and 3 hours right after it opened. I have also had 2+ hour queue times for The Beast.

Shortest queue time was 0 (or at least the amount of time it takes to get off the ride and walk thru the queue line again). This was on a weekday on a day when rain showers would periodically roll thru and pretty much clear the park out for an hour each time. That was, incidentally, the best amusement park day of my life!!! As someone else mentioned earlier, the only way to truly get your money's worth is to go on a weekday. That was at PKI also.

A touch over 2 hrs for S:UF at SFGAm. Mostly because we had just gotten to the stairs of the station, and it broke down. We had been at the park the day before and S:UF was closed all day, so we were tired from walking the whole day before so we stayed there for about 30 minutes visiting with the rideops while techs fixed the ride. On the bonus side, we got to be the first to ride after the breakdown, then got to ride again within 20 minutes.

Mine was 1.5 hours for Hypersonic XLC. What a waste of time that turned out to be. Not that it wasn't a thrilling experience, but I wouldn't wait longer than twenty minutes for it in the future.
