What Disney ride has the best queue???

Love the Star Wars queue also. The Meet Mickey (forget the name) lines in Toontown aren't bad either, since you get to watch old MM films while you wait.

OK I'm going to stir it up a bit

The BEST queue ever, and I mean ever, was designed for Disney, but not used. The roller coaster "Dueling Dragons" and Universal's Islands of Adventure is simply incredible!! And if you didn't stop to watch the stain glass window inside the main entrance, you missed a great piece of it! (despite my enitre family just standing there watching this incredible glass come alive, people passed right by us like lemmings. Never looking.) I was so completely impressed with it, and I didn't understand why it had such a HUGE queue. Then my bro told me of the story of how it was originaly meant for Disney.

I LOVE Kali River Rapids ride. One of the biggest tips I tell people gong down there, is to 'enjoy' the queue. Really soak it in.

Of course TOT, HM, and PotC are great.

Dueling Dragons does have the best queue line. And I always also wondered why it was so long b/c we always walk through it. It's such a waste.

I definitely agree.

I'd never heard that it was originally designed for Disney, although I have heard that a number of disgruntled Imagineers worked on IOA. Does anyone have any more details about this topic? (Feel free to start a new thread, I guess.)

Certainly Spider-Man has upped the ante for rides (and queues, really), and I don't think Disney has caught up yet.

Every time I go to IOA, I think the employees who work the Spider-Man exit must have the best jobs in the park, since everyone is always in a good mood when they get off that thing.

FastPass ruined that queue.

Yeah, I hear you, that queue is amazing. Last time I was there FP backed up so we got to wait for a minute or two and play without holding up the line. Those priceless artifacts were still priceless when we were done with the archeologist down there - or should they be price-less. That was fun. The regular lines are usually so long there that is it hard to avoid going for FP...

The stained glass is right inside the castle, the front of which looks awesome with the claw marks and all.

I personally love Space Mountain. When I was younger, I used to get sick watching the 3-D space pictures.

I like the Space Mountain Q, but sometimes it seems like it just keeps going on forever. My favs are Splash Mountain and Kali River Rapids

I'd like to know what ever happend to the windows that had space kids and and parents 'n such in each window that kinda showed a story line into the future . . . if I remember correctly (I'm 42, so that doesn't say much

) . . . it's like the ending section of Spaceship Earth that shows animotronics in what our lives will be in the future. I KNOW it was in the que area of Spaceship Earth, but I wonder what happened to it . . . much better than blanks screens with meteors floating around.

Don't you all agree?

I'm not that old so I don't remember that.

But maybe your confused with the ending of Spaceship Earth and the "Tomorrow's Child" Song, Aw memories!

No, I'm not confused. There was definately something there. Anyone else remember? Oh, and don't worry, one day you will be "that old."

Yes I'm halfway there. I'm 21 and I already feel old since I've been to disney, 11 times in 21 years, So I have a lot of memories from all the old rides too.
