What is the longest you have waited for a ride?
What was it?
Why did you wait for it?
What happened?

3.5 hours
SFOG Deja Vu
at that point it was the only one open (sept 2001) and I had already ridden every other coaster in the park.
I rode it.

Almost 5 hours for Shockwave at SFGAm when it first opened. At the time for some reason they were only running one train and of course everyone and their mother wanted to get on this thing since it was a record breaker at the time. I was 17 at the time so I had more patience to wait.

^ Wow that's almost half a day but me I would say almost 2 hours for Batman 92'. At the time it was worth it.

2.5 hours for X-Flight during FF last year.

5 hours for Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit. Found out it was soft opening to the public for the first time that day when I walked in. Waited in an un-offical line in front of the concert stage.

Longest I ever saw was 7 hours of Soarin' at EPCOT on New Years Eve 2011.

by **JimPanky** on October 14th, 2013, 4:07 pm

Yeah that's typical. Holidays Soarin and Toy Story Mania can run over 5 hours.

A good three hours in 2003 for Superman: Ultimate Flight at SFGAm.
It was a hot summer day in July, and that three hour wait was a pain in the ass.
But the ride was worth it.

I did the exact same thing for SUF that year.

1hour for batman fright fest 2012 I don't go to super long lines but that was my first ride so I made an exception

3.5 hours for Soarin'

That is seriously the longest you ever waited for a ride? I find that hard to believe.

by **CoasterCale** on November 26th, 2013, 5:31 pm

3 hours for Raging Bull-FF 2012

by **BBH** on November 26th, 2013, 9:54 pm

2.5 hours for a crap ride on V2 at this year's Fright Fest. Absolute ****.

by **Viper 88** on December 19th, 2013, 12:31 pm

2 hours Roarin Rapids and Loggers Run separate days. It was hot I wanted to cool off so I waited and rode and got soaked.

I expect to wait a good long while for Goliath on May 24th. If it is 3 hours long, then I hope the ride is worth the time spent in line. Hopefully the line isnt to bad when the park opens on that day. I will hit Goliath first, get in line for it ASAP.

by **[jonrev]** on March 22nd, 2014, 9:07 pm

Five hours for Kingda Ka in 2006 and didn't even get to ride; wasted a huge majority of the day there.

It did not help the following year, when I rode TTD and thought it was rather mediocre (fortunately I got on that after it rained, so the wait wasn't bad at all); I didn't bother with it when I went back in 2012.

I will "walk" straight to it, as well. :wink:

By "walk", you mean half run/ half jog, brisk speed walking? Eh?
LOL...

I'll be doing the same.

As fast as I can without security getting on my ass about it. (in the past) The right is crowded, mostly because of RB, but also for X-Flight. While the left is rather crowded but stops at Superman. Leaving Yankee Harbor dead for the first hour. With Goliath being added this year, do you think the crowds will be more equal on each side of Carousel Plaza , for opening?

by **TwistedSTEEL666** on March 24th, 2014, 6:38 pm

I think the left side of the park might be more crowded this time around. Goliath will draw a lot of people, hopefully enough to lessen the traffic on the right side for a little.

by **Iron Wolf 90-11** on March 24th, 2014, 8:41 pm

Which way do you think will be faster to get to Goliath? The left or right way?

by **JimPanky** on March 24th, 2014, 8:49 pm

I think youll get different strategies. If that happens itll help spread the crowd.

I feel the left side is quicker. It also seems to be shorter.

Longest wait?
