Black Widow at Kennywood. Terrible ride operators, that was unexceptable load/unload times (8 minutes!). 35 min wait for 4-5 cycles :x NEVER AGAIN!

worst wait ever, has to be Green Lantern's First Flight in SFMM. though the wait was only one hour, the line made its way under the track and station where it was literally like an oven in the more than 100* heat.

My worst line I waited in was for El Toro at SFGADV in its opening year since a TON of people were line jumping and the Flash Pass person was letting like maybe 30 or so Flash Pass people ahead of the regular line UGH! I'm so happy that most of that crap is now gone at Six Flags parks. A close second would be when I waited in line for Le Cobra at La Ronde, they were running 1 train and dispatching trains at about 4 mins. Also the line had no shade was what was a hour felt like 3!

The longest lines I've waited in are probably an hour each for TTD, MF, and Maverick, but the most frustrating line was for Georgia Cyclone. The operators were the worst I've ever seen, dispatching trains every 5-7 minutes, even with 2 trains. They were completely preoccupied with their private conversations and were so slow once they decided to check restraints. What should've been a 10-15 minute wait from the bottom of the stairs turned out to be closer to 30-45 minutes. It was horrible.

Surprisingly, when I went to SFGAdv on a weekend, Kingda Ka and El Toro were essentially walk-on. The longest I waited for each was about 10 minutes. I got on S:UF and GL (front row on both rides) in about 20 mins each.

Probably 45min in the Flash Pass line for Supernan ROS at Six Flags America. We never got on the ride because it would have taken at least another thirty minutes to get on it.

Longest line I ever went on was TTD 3 hours and Maverick 1hr45mins. Cedarpoint and Hershey had HORREDNOUS lines whenever I came :angry:

I hate lines with a passion, probably because I've been spoiled so badly with Dorney Park. Which the longest I've ever waited there was 20 minutes for Steel Force (1 train, ride ops shooting the shiz) Other than that, walk on, walk off for everything. Same with King's Dominion though, Everything was a walk-on EXCEPT Volcano, that varied between 20 minutes to a half-hour when I went. Even INTIMIDATOR was a walk-on.

A donkey is a domesticated member of the Equidae or horse family.

HYPERSONIC XLC... I WAITED 3.5 hours the year it opened. It was raining and the ride kept breaking down. 8 people per car... but I must say... I was very pumped for the ride and (back then) thought it was worth it.
Leviathan - "I am a B&M, I am clearly not the father. I305 is not my child."
Millennium Force - "Yes he is Maury... I am 100% sure"
Maury - "Leviathan ..... in the case of possessed juvenile I305 .... you are not the father!
Maverick - (giggles with guilty grin)"

2 + 2 = donkey!

Corkscrew back in 2007, the ride broke down multiple times and the lines were too deep to get out...plus it wasn't worth the wait!
