I don't believe you waited that long unless there was a breakdown about 6 times with rain delay in between but that is insane to wait for a ride that took up 40% of your day.

I hope it was worth it

I don't care how good a ride is, I would never wait 5 or 6 hours. That's insane.

longest I've waited is about 3.5 hours for SFOG DV, though I saved it for last, rode everything else I needed/wanted to, and when I was done, then and only then could I justify waiting that length of time for a ride (this was before SFGAm's opened)

And time was important that day, I believe it was sept 14, 2001(was the very first day airplanes were allowed back in the air) and I flew to SFOG in the morn and back at night, it was for thier Farewell to Viper event. I ended up having booked the only 2 AirTran flights that flew that day.

Hmm..lets see...got in line around 8:10pm...got thru the exit at 1:30am. So almost 6 hours.... Lots of breakdowns and a few rollbacks. Lots of fun with the people in line though. It was like a big party :D . I got video of it too somewhere as proof that I was there that long..Oh and I still managed to get on everything else that day too. I'm known to get thru parks very quickly, which gives me time to just blow off at night.
