Shortest Wait

What is the shortest anyone has waited or seen for this ride. I was just wondering, "has there ever been a short line for this ride?¿?¿" When I mean short I mean a half hour or less. I have never seen a line under an hour.
Thanx,
Mike

If you go at the right time, you'll be surprised at how short the wait can get. For example, on Bonus Weekends (September) and Halloweekends, when the weather is pretty bad (it's not always), I have heard of practical walk-on rides on MF, even in the middle of the day. Of course, there's pretty much no one in the park...

On 5/31 from 8:45-10 I got 5 MF rides, the wait ended at the bottom of the ramp. It was about 5-10 minutes. They also were running 2 trains.

I have seen a walk on many times during normal operation. Halloweekend Fridays a lot and some Sunday late in the season and weekdays in May. Sometimes even with a 1 or 2 train operation

Last night I got in line at 9:55pm and had a 45 minute wait. That's my shortest time without ERT, courtesy pass, etc. On morning last year I did sprint from the Marina gate and made it on the first train of the day.

Holloweekend Sundays its usually 5-15 minutes, all the time. If you head in after a good storm to do some evening riding (like last night), all of the lines will be pretty short because most of the people have lost hope and cleared out. The wait was about half hour last night, not the shortest, but still plenty short compared to average.

on July 3rd last year, there was hardly anyone in the park. I rode the Force about 7-8 times, + all of the other coasters! It was a really good day there.

thank you.....and enjoy your record breaking ride on Millennium Force!

3 rides in 45 minutes, Saturday, July 15th 2000. MF was hit by lightning on Friday night and it fried the motherboard (from what I heard). Some CP exec took a red-eye flight to somewhere in Europe to get the replacement part, and the park opened MF at 11:30pm. My wife and I just happened to be walking near the exits and noticed staff organizing things on the platform. I heard that they kept the line open until 2:00am.

It just goes to show you what CP will do to have the rides operate.

On Saturday, June 14th, the ride was running three trains and the line was always around the soda machines which the Disc Jockey used that mark to recognize how long the wait would be which is an hour or less.

Life has it's ups and downs, might as well make it on a coaster!
