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

2 1/2 hours for MF due to mechanical problems

2 hours for Maverick

Just over 3 hours for MF in 2000, and just under 3 hours for Mantis in 1996. Both were well worth it at the time.

Remember when Magnum had lines so long, the entrance was moved past the restrooms? I haven't seen that in a long time.

i was at the point yesterday (10/20) and the line for millenium was about 4+ hours and for TTD it was about the same. i have never seen CP so packed. all the lines filled every queue and about another 100 yds. of line outside of them.


1. Millenium Force
2. Maverick
3. Top Thrill Dragster
4. Magnum XL200

^Holy crap!!!

4 hours?? for MF?

Well this weekend was jam packed but where he got 4 hours from is beyond me.


<Matt>
101 on Magnum and counting...

One hour and 45 minutes for Maverick in July.

I waited 3+ hours for Millennium Force in 2000 during the AAA preview day. We drove up from school in Cincinnati just for MF. So, we weren't going to not ride. ha ha!!

I got all the way up to the ramp to MF in 5 min (walking to it) and then waited 3hrs due to rain and then when we got on it downpoored and we all had welts on are faces but it was the my best ride on Mf ever.


Visual Scan!
First Top Thrill Dragster train of 2011!
Rollbacks: 1st Triple Rollback of 2009!

Well, y'all can tell I need to visit our great neighbor to the south more. Hi, Ohioans!

Top Thrill Dragster: August 2006, ~1.5-2 hours I think and we didn't get a ride. She went down for the rest of the day. And I really wanted to go again!

Maverick: July 10, 2007 (my only trip this year :( ), ~2+ hours... due to wind. The thing is, me and my brother were in the front row of silver train. Anyone who knows me knows about me and silver. Then park ops just had to make them shut 'er down. We later got a ride, of course, but not for awhile and in a different train.

Not that I'm complaining about Maverick. That's one rad coaster. Dragster, yeah, I'd be happy nonetheless if I got a ride after that... We were the next train after people left due to the downtime. So close. And yeah, I'm thinking that I could've gotten a rollback! :(

three hours for Magunum Force once and . three hours for the Beast At Kings Island when it was first built.

Well, it was at Flamingo Land until 2005.

I think the longest I've ever waited was an hour and a half for Magnum in its first year. I can remember in the mid-80s when waits for WWL were frequently almost that long, too.

Probably an hour or so for the millie in 2000.

4 hrs opening day for dragster

Avalanche Run in 85. I forget how long we waited, but I was 5 and it seemed liike forever. Even at 5 I got off the ride disappointed. Had to have a cheese on a stick and go to Kid Arthur's Court for a while just to calm down. Also, in 99 an ex and I got caught in a rainstorm and thought it was starting to let up. Waited at the gate for Mantis, back when you had to cross the tracks to get to the line. After about an hour, we were the only ones standing there, and it took at least another hour for it to open. The awesome thing about that was that the guy at the gate filled us in on MF's coming. Mostly accurate, except he said there were supposed to be a load of inversions.

2hrs for Maverick this year, then 1:45 for Maverick later in the same day.

I had to wait 5 hours for Maverick this year when it kept breaking down. Then on the same day we waited 3 hours for Millennium Force because it also kept breaking down. It was the worse day that I ever had at Cedar Point.
