What's the longest you've waited in line?

there was this weird inverted coaster at my local theme park in Belgium, the ride was pretty awesome but had HORRIBLE capacity, I rode it on opening day and waited 5 hours at least, a week later the ride was destroyed because everyone hated it

Perhaps you mean the defunct coaster named "Vertigo" at Walibi Belgium?

aah yes that waste of money

It wasn't destroyed because people hated it. It was a prototype from Doppelmayr which builds ski lifts and it did not perform like it should have.

Didn't know that, thanks for telling

If you don't know the real reason behind taking down a certain ride. Please don't tell around stories with a highly unlikely reason, the GP is dumb enough already to believe such stories.

sorry for my ignorance, as you can see I'm new to this :s

Six hours with my father and older sister for B:TR's opening year at SFGAm. I didn't ride because I was too short and knew that going in lol.

Well I shattered my previous record on Monday at Six Flags Great Adventure. I waited 5 hours for the front row on Kingda Ka as it broke down 8 times, plus people started walking back up the exit and handing the ride operators a blue piece of paper and simply boarding the ride. They had to run 1 train as the other one was constantly malfunctioning. Never. Again.

5 hour wait for Kingda Ka? I would have given up after 3 hours.

Might be breaking my record with Tempesto when I'm at BGW (going to make sure to ride everything else first!)

I just want to keep waiting for ages only for Disney rides! Wanna do the same for other park rides? More than a few hours - heck no!

Wow, I must be some kind of novice for the world of queuing! That said I've never been to the official opening of a new ride/attraction so that may be why.

My longest is 2 hours, 53 minutes precisely (yes, I decided to time it) for my first ride on The Smiler in June of 2013. It didn't even break down while I was waiting, just slow dispatching.
