I agree with both of those! RnR was one of the worst queues I have waited in at WDW!
By far the worst of Disney queues thankfully isn't at WDW - it's DLR, and it goes to IJ-TOFE (Indiana Jones & Temple of the Forbidden Eye). There was no space to build it in Adventureland, so the ride is actually hidden way behind another section of the park, and they created a long, winding path betweeen it and its entrance at Adventureland. I hope they never do anything like this at WDW!

I'm sensing a pattern, you don't like outside queues or those that go...back and forth?!

For me it's Toy Story Mania. Not the theme, I love that. But that is the single most deceptive queue in all of WDW. You wind and wind and wind and it literally feels like you never reach the ride... which is a bit annoying. I wait long enough for that one as it is... even with Fastpass you don't benefit.

The nice thing is that there is so much to take photos of while you are winding back and forth. I must have hundreds and hundreds of photos from TSM queue, and hundreds more of Mr. Potato Head!

If you were raised on the board games and toys that are all giant in the TSMM queue then I know you can appreciate it much more. I do kind of have the fear that in 5-10 years none of the kids going through the queue will have any clue what all that stuff is. Darn computers and technology!

I think most of the ones in the heat. Also others that are deceptive such as Space Mountain when you wait all the time in the tunnels only to find out that you haven't even started the long lines yet on the inside. This is another way of keeping people off the streets and in lines. It's all about crowd control. My least favorite line is Big Thunder. Its just hot even with the fans.

Doesn't it have fans blowing in the queue during the summer?

But at least the humid hot weather adds some authenticity to the theme...
