pkiboy Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 anybody have a story about waiting in long lines at pki. Quote
Coasterfan Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 My dad and I waited for TR:TR at the sneak preview in '02 for 4.5 hours and it didn't open. Quote
thejoker8388 Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 My worst wait at PKI was probably for FOF for about 2 hours but my worst wait ever was for Milinium Force which was about 3.5 hours Quote
ZosoBeast Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 My dad and I waited for TR:TR at the sneak preview in '02 for 4.5 hours and it didn't open. I was in line with you! Were you with us when they let us in to see the pre-show and it broke down in the middle of it? Quote
Gordon Bombay Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 The first year SOB opened I got to the park and waited 2 hours to ride with my dad then another 2 hours to ride with my uncle. Thats all I rode that day. Quote
jzarley Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 My worst wait would have to be Indiana Jones at Disneyland during Spring Break its opening year--just over four hours. The worst at PKI would be FoF right after it opened...3.0 hours. Believe it or not, I actually waited 2.5 hours to ride Top Gun during it's opening season! The entire queue was filled (including the "bottom" of the air craft carrier), and they had temporary queues wrapping out and around Congo Falls (or Amazon Falls as it was called then) and Cafe Kiliminjaro. (But, at least there was some themeing to look at in line then <G>) Joel Quote
Gordon Bombay Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 JZ were you dissapointed in the ride being so short after waiting that long? Quote
UncleHenry Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 3-4 hours on X, only to get the crap beat out of me on it. Quote
PKI Punk Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 My dad and I waited for TR:TR at the sneak preview in '02 for 4.5 hours and it didn't open. I was in line with you! Were you with us when they let us in to see the pre-show and it broke down in the middle of it? I was there. And I remember the park saying, "Stand on a symbol" to watch the preshow. Dumbest thing ever! Quote
Discodude3737 Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 I waited 3 for X and 3 for Top Thrill Dragster. Luckily I got rides on both of them when they weren't broken down. Quote
Jasper Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 Probably FOF. It was like an hour and a half. My longest ever is like 3 hours for Mill. Force. Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 5 or 6 hours for FoF here.... it was back in 96 when it opened. The line began at the Zephyr and they used the metal fencing to create several queues in the base area in addition to all of the queues being open. The ride broke down several times during the wait. Quote
King Bowser Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 I have too many to tell about the longest line I have waited in was for The Beast and that was an hour and 14 mins. Quote
DeliriumDreamer Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 5 or 6 hours for FoF here.... it was back in 96 when it opened. The line began at the Zephyr and they used the metal fencing to create several queues in the base area in addition to all of the queues being open. The ride broke down several times during the wait. I had to wait about 3 hrs for FOF when it first opened, only to find out that I was too short to ride. The line was just as long as Ryan had said it was. I was about to make it into the que area when one of the sups came through the line with a height stick... Quote
pokit14572006 Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 Ive never had to wait too long for a ride, but i did have to wait for 2.5 hours at FOF once, that sucked. I try to go to the park when there are not a lot of people there... Quote
Airromeo4Ever Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 The worst was the opening weekend of Flight of Fear (Outer Limits Flight of Fear at the time) at Paramounts Kings Dominion. Me and my freind waited 4.5 hours. They only had one train and could only load eight people in that train. It was torture, but well worth the wait. Quote
elitescr3 Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 my worst was at top thrill dragster.... i was in line for 45 minutes and it broke down, we decided to stay and it opened back up and we ended up waiting about 3 hours total, until it broke down again and we were literally the next ride!! then we went to m force and waited for 45 minutes til it broke down ....needless to say, that mourning/early afternoon Sucked! Quote
pkifreak Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 At PKI it would be 3.5 hours for SoB, but I waited 4 hours for Aerosmith's Rockin' Rollercoaster in Disney World... It was insane, but worth it, they were having people bring around water and everything. Quote
Legend Rider Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 2 hours Legend pitch Black outside, Coaster ROARING by you, brakes hissing at you, but so many enthusiasts in the line sharing awesome stories, basking in the glow of HallowSwings... ::howl:: DONT LOOK BACK! ::howl:: Quote
pkiboy Posted April 19, 2005 Author Posted April 19, 2005 so many stories. well I hate to tell you guys this but pki will have long lines this year because of gas prices and people go to Florida and other hot places. Quote
UncleHenry Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 Why will high gas prices make PKI have long lines? Quote
PKI Foodguy Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 2 hours for Raptor, 2.5 hours for Millenium force. I don't wait in lines longer than 1hr 15 at KI. Quote
CoasterXtreme Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 Mine would be a five hour wait for The Beast when it first opened back in 1979! But it was worth every minute. Sean Quote
Enchanted Voyager Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 nothing solves a long line like the Kevin Bacon game Quote
Enchanted Voyager Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 HaHaHa I only waited 1/2 hour for SoB when it opened because it shut down then started back up. Life is sweet. Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 Why will high gas prices make PKI have long lines? People will be less inclined to travel outside of the Cincinnati area for their summer vacations, so where do you think they'll go?? Quote
