Dane Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 (edited) Ok, to count, you must have been waiting INLINE for a PKI attraction. You must have been inside the ride line and not have left it for playing games, getting food/drink. When you reply, you will state your longest wait time, and what it was for. You can also add the year it happoned in. Got it? Good. Let's let the insanity begin! Edited January 1, 1970 by Dane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Posted April 17, 2003 Author Share Posted April 17, 2003 Ok, ill start it off. 4.5 hours for Flight of Fear. On the first Saterday it opened. They had us winding around in the steel gurdles in the big open area. It was so packed that it just looked like a big mass of people. It was so crowded that you couldent tell where you were at untill you got to an end of an isle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TowerGuy Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 I hate to admit this but the first year Kings Island was PKI I waited a pathetic three hours for Top Gun. I have probably waited similiar times for other rides in the park, however I can not remember which ones. I feel so pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TraderJake Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 3.5 hours to ride Drop Zone, on its opening day way back in 1999. It was a fun time in line though, enjoyed watching people determined to get on the ride have associates run into the harness so that the restraint was down far enough. Amusing, but sad at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theultimatefan Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 I waited about 3.5 hours for FOF opening year. And way back in 1992 when Top Gun was new, I waited almost 4 hours!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanA Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 I went to PKI on a cheerleading night and the park was packed. Because I was with my cousins I couldn't ride TR:TR right off The Bat and had to ride some otherwise wussy rides. It didn't matter to me though, the line was across the street to the outfitters store. About 25 mins. before closing we enter TR's line. It's still backed up thru all the turnstiles except for half of the last one. During turnstile waiting it breaks down twice and is repaired in roughly 15 mins. each time. My father warned me if it broke down once more, we would bail(this being his first upside down ride, he doesn't even ride AE). We make it all the way through and get on after 2.5 hours of waiting, then it breaks down while we were on it. We finnaly get a ride on it after they test it. It took us about 3 hours and 15 mins. for a 2.5 min. TR ride in September after closing. And I still loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak75 Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 3 hours for The Beast in 1980, the first time I was tall enough to ride, just happened to be on a Sat. and the only time I've ever seen all of the turnstiles open. Still, well worth the wait!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. G. Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 3 hours for Top Gun in '93. Probably wasn't anywhere near as bad for me as it was for whomever I stuck with entertaining my two toddlers while I was gone...one can only watch the Boulder Bumpers so many hundreds of times before it gets old. At least they still had the squirting elephant at that time too. Waited 2 hours for Son of Beast the first time, that was also my last long wait. There is so much to do that if the lines are that long we keep moving, walking around, playing games, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bingog34 Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 I waited in line 4 hours for TRTR in the rain. That was before they had the canopies up, so I got soaked. When we got inside, all of our clothes were steaming because of the temperature change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterCrazy Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 4 hours for white water canyon when i was a little pup gosh that line was so long it was outside the quene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ Kinda Guy Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 (edited) Ok, I can't vote for myself because I'd be breaking the "rules" but I'll vote for my Mom and Dad. Six hours for Flight of Fear on the season pass holders only day in late May of 96. Three hours holding your place in line and three hours of going through the line. We just happen to have our spot in front of Zephyer so my Sister and I rode Zephyer over and over again until the line actually started to move. FoF and Zephyer was all we rode too in the main park. After we got off FoF we went over to WaterWorks for the rest of the day. Funny thing, it had actually stormed outside while we were in the hangar and we didn't even know about it. Definately one of those moments I'll never forget. Edited January 1, 1970 by AZ Kinda Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coasterfan Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 My dad and I waited 4 1/2 hours for TR:TR on PPN '02 and never got to ride. Besides that I think the second longest I've waited is 2 hours 45 min. for Face/Off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
