My longest wait was during Top Thrill Dragster - Joe Cool, Opening Day 2007, replacement ERT for Maverick.
The ride kept getting Roll-Backs. I started midway up the ramp that morning, near the station, and it took 2 hours to get the 1st ride of the year in.
Ask 0g he was there, and he got a roll-back in the train right before mine. Darn you 0g :)
Never will I wait 2 hours for a ride - again...
I believe Maverick was 2nd longest wait, at about 1 hr 45 min. - Memorial Day 2007. That was the only ride I got on that day. Then we went over to Soak City.
GATEKEEPER-I came, I rode, I was mildly disappointed; until a second ride (rear left) put GateKeeper back on the...it's a nice ride list.
4.5 hours for Top Thrill Dragster... on Media Day!

During 2 Years of Opening Days my friend and I were the first two people of the public. We were not the employees either, and we got on the Front Seats of the Magnum; 1989 & the Mean Streak; 1991 when they were made. We walked right on the train too.
Now the longest I've waited on the Magnum since it was made was close to 3 hrs, and with the Mean Streak; I think I've waited 2 hrs.
Longest that I've waited is 1.5 hours for Maverick and the same for Raptor (although Raptor was against my will, knowing that I could have come back later for a half hour wait). I really don't know why you guys wait that long. I guess I just have good planning and luck. ;)

Three things you need to fix anything in the universe: duct tape, WD-40, and a hammer. Duct tape if it moves and it shouldn't, WD-40 if it doesn't move and should, and the hammer as the last resort.
