Longest Wait Time

[Club33Hopeful]

90 minutes on Spalsh. Now, if we happen to be talking Six Flags Magic Mountain... Over 4 hours when Viper first opened.

I was at Disneyland in December and th two rides I recall having the longest lines were Indiana Jones and Splsh Mountain.

That's insane. At that point, you have to ask yourself if it's really worth sacrificing four hours of your life for a 90 second ride, instead of just returning another day.

I don't get it. I can't believe how many people don't use or know about Fast Pass...it is the only way to go...why waste your time waiting in line!

True, but at the time I was a season ticket holder and went several times a week. My dad dropped me off on his way to work in Burbank (we lived in Lancaster) and picked me up on the way home. Obviously before I had a license. I spent so much time at the park, I was sick of everything. So, for me, the four hours was worth it. It opened the summer after I completed my first year of high school. 1990.

I guess time is just more valuable now than it was back then. When I was in high school, we lived about an hour from the Six Flags that's located north of Chicago. I remember when the Batman roller coaster opened, we waited about two hours in the queue before the ride broke down and was defunct the rest of the day. These days, I can't imagine spending so much time waiting in line. I suppose for me "growing up" has also meant losing some of the patience I had for that sort of stuff.

[Club33Hopeful]

I know what you mean. I think I am at 30 minutes max.

Years ago my sister and I waited in line about three hours for Splash. Of course it was right after the attraction opened and they had to stop often to work out the kinks. I was probably 12 or 13 then and I'm not so sure I'd have the patience to do it again.

I personally didn't wait in it but there was a 180 min wait once for Test Track.

The longest I've ever waited for something was about 90 min.

The longest I had to wait was about an hour for Space Mountain in 2002 for Grad Nite... River Rapid comes in second with about 30 minutes. I was by myself.
