Touchdown Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 3.5 hours for MF in 2000, actually did that a few times, totally worth it too. Besides that though, Ive never really waited more then 3 hours (and rarely, rarely over 2) for any amusement ride. If you expand it to shows though, I grabed my spot for The Boston Pops, Pops Goes the Fourth concert about 12 hours before it started and waited 4.5 hours for the Lombardi Trophy to return to Lambeau Field on a cold January afternoon/night in 1996. They too were totally worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Anyone remember the lines for Torture Tower the first year for Fear Fest in 2000? Those were insane, but well worth the wait. What exactly was Torture Tower? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin_M17 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 3 hours for Millennium Force. 2 hours 45 minutes for The Beast. Totally worth every second waiting for both. The Beast is a good coaster, don't get me wrong, but nearly three hours to ride it? There's no way I'd be able to do that, even if it was for a night-time ride.

Braves0511 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Firehawk could take a 5 minute wait and make it seem like 3 days just from the heat and glaring sun...When I stood in line for about 45 minutes for it this summer, I lived for the 2 or 3 minutes I got to spend standing by one of those mist fans...And they have the canopies, but they don't help a whole lot.

The line for Firehawk is one of the few places where it pays to carry one of those portable fan/squirt bottle things you see Tourists with so much in the summer.

Cormaster Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 1995, Raptor at Cedar Point. 3 1/2 hours. it was one hell of a coaster no doubt, but I would never do it again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Anyone remember the lines for Torture Tower the first year for Fear Fest in 2000? Those were insane, but well worth the wait. What exactly was Torture Tower? It was an ill advised attempt at a house at the top of the tower. It was very popular, but capacity was, understandably, limited, which resulted in very long lines. It included, among other things, the usual electric chair with a victim gag. Capacity was horrid, employees (who were instructed to do so) banged on the floor of the tower with some observers reporting damage (similar banging went on on the cars on Phantom Theater, to the absolute horror of some park guests...including me..I was afraid irresponsible guests would copy the behavior of the irresponsible park managers who allowed such later, when the park was no longer in Fear Fest mode...they also tossed rubber snakes into the cars at first, until guest complaints put a stop to that).

CincyDeb Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 The longest i have ever had to wait was probably 1 1/2 for Tomb Raider. I may have also waited over an hour for Firehawk but Tomb Raider felt like the longest. At least with Tomb Raider, part of the line is inside with A/C Remember back in the day...they had "beast" footprints, painted in yellow on the concrete where the line for The Beast would extend...almost to the pizza joint if I remember correctly. I guess they blacktopped over those many moons ago.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they blacktopped over those many moons ago.... They also had orange Vortex track prints extending close to the carousel, and I seem to remember similar prints for AE, KC, and maybe even Amazon/Congo Falls.

And they may be back next year...I don't think they were paved over, but wore off from the many, many feet and the weather... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 And they may be back next year Terpy what influenced you to say that? I hope you are right but I doubt it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 When Terpy says something, he says what he says....he didn't say anything about anything being confirmed, he didn't cite a source, and he remained well within the terms of service here. He also said all he's gonna say about that. He's like that. Sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KI-ORIG-EMP Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 The longest line that I waited for was on The Bat back in 81. I waited about 2 hours in the mid-day sun to ride The Bat and for my reward got my head sun burned. But it was worth the wait to ride The Bat and I am glad that I got to ride it before they tore it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
