Maverick-Used to love it but spent 3 1/2 hours on the steps one time-it hasn't been the same, but it's still good because it has variety
MF-my favorite ride, lake, music, the ride shaking beside you
WT-I like watching the beach, feeling the breeze and hearing newbies worry about the swaying towers
Any ride with good views of people's faces before they go-Skyhawk and Power Tower come to mind
Skyhawk is great on a hot day. Standing by the fence gives a great breeze.

Gemini - a former #1 coaster, racer, lots of fun and still a great ride after all the years. Argueably gives more thrills than TTD per metre of track.
I like Magnums line the best. Mostly because every time I go there seems to be a beach ball being hit around. Its fun to see the old people who dont like having any fun get hit in the head not paying attention and everyone laughs. Also its tied for my number 1 ride. The trees block the sun also and every couple seconds you get to see TTD go over the top.... Or sometimes not! :)

I don't like waiting in lines that have people that are physically unattractive to look at
Not everyone is as beautiful on the outside as they may be on the inside. I know several people that have aliments that make them "less than attractive", yet I would rather enjoy their company than many more that may be more pleasing to the eye. One person has a severe case of Lymphodema & an additional skin disorder that takes you off guard to first see him. But he is the kindest heart around in spite of it all. I recommend you watch "The Elephant Man" to help see people for what is on the inside. :)
As far as the best line to wait in...I love the platform of TTD. I always get excited to hear: "baby I'm ready to gooooo!"

Raptor's line is horrible to stand during a hot day.
That seems to be the one ride I would SKIP purely based on the quality of the line. During the day, it is miserable to stand in that hot line. I usually wait until night to ride Raptor. While the line seems to move forward a lot, the wait is always longer than expected.
The best line I've found so far has got to be Millennium Force. That line is always moving, and it's always interesting. In that line it seems like people are more friendly, for whatever reason. And most of the line is under shade, so thus the heat problem is solved. There is always a breeze coming off the lake, too.
And you get a good view of the hill, and flying by trains. Plus a view of the lake.
I'd rather wait in line for hours in Milly's line, than in Raptor's line for even one minute. At day, of course.
Magnum or Wicked Twister for me. For Magnum I love the enclosedness feeling that the trees give. In autumn when all of the leaves fall I love the smell of them (specifically the Poplar leaves). Wicked Twister just has a nice vibe to it because of the beach and the "front-of-park" atmosphere.
We'll miss you MrScott and Pete
I never smelled Panda Express from the MF line. Just the coal from the train. As odd as it may sound I have special memories of each line. I remember the anticipation from the opening year that most of the attractions opened as I stand in them. If I had to pick a single favorite based on line alone, not attraction. I would say Disaster Transport because of the AC and its out of the sunlight (I burn easily). I also have to say I love Mavericks line for the memories it brings back of WWL. I really like what they did with the WWL station. :)
R.I.P. MrScott... You're greatly missed!!
Definitely Magnum. The line moves faster than any other one in the park (even this year), there is shade, and when it's all over, you get to ride the greatest ride in the world. :)
Second would probably be Maverick due to the shade and nicely done queue. Those outer queues seem to take forever though. :(
At the bottom of the list would be Raptor since it is sunny and just doesn't move like it should anymore and Dragster because it is sunny and you never make it through the whole line without the ride breaking down. :(

My fav. Cp ride to wait in line for would probably be Mantis because you are surrounded with coaster track on all sides of the que.

7 TTD rides.....1 Roll Back
3rd train of the Season on MF! 2007
^^ I must be lucky because after the first year it opened I have never seen it break down.
Let's Get Weird.
Im going to have to say:
(1) Maverick, because that like keeps on moving and the music is cool. and at night u can see the sun set under the first air time hill thats really cool to see.
(2) Sky hawk because you can see the scared ones screaming there lungs out.
^^ If that's the case, I don't think "lucky" even covers your fortune.
Admittedly, though, TTD has done very well this year.

It's called Millennium Force, not "Millenium" Force. Thanks.
i would say maverick line. I like how its the old wwl platform; so it kind of brings back memories standing in there. That was a great idea whoever decided to keep part of the structure.

The check in line for the hotel,or the ticket line.Thats when it all sets in.Even the parking line,arriving and seeing all the rides on the horizon and knowing your at Cedar Point.!!!!
TTD - 1 rollback(Finally)

I like Gemini , maybe not the most , but i still like waiting because it's so fun to see everyone cheering when their side wins.
I like Millennium's because of the music or "baby-makin music" --as some teenagers said-- in front of us. I dont know, but waiting in line makes me all hyped up. I make new friends easily in that line as we talk for hours. Waiting for the front row is cool too because it blasts out of that tunnel SO FAST it blows your hair everywhere. And MAJOR hott staff members (= haha
Maverick was fun too; listening to iPods and watching videos in line. It's really scenic too with the pond and a some-what good view of the park once you reach the wood. It's especially nice once you finally get to the front and it says it's closed for technical difficulties =) but it only happened once to me for like 5 minutes. WOO

Assuming "length of line" is taken out of the equation, Raptor, because it keeps on truckin'.
Does this hold true?
The Raptor crews of late, while great to work with (woot woot '05), haven't been the fastest.
