Out of pure curoisty, what is the highest posted wait time you have ever seen?

Mine would be:

75 Minutes: Splash Mtn, Winnie the Pooh, Space Mountain, Test Track

Hey, 75 is not too bad. I've seen 120 minutes for Test Track. Splash Mountain also had similarly rediculous lines when it first opened. I'm sure even those two waits aren't even the longest anyone on these boards has ever seen. I can't even imagine some of the waits that some people have had to endure at some of the busier days of the year (Labor Day, New Years Eve, and such).

I remember calling in waits around 150 or so in Tower Control around New Year's. That was when we had the extended queue beyond the gates put up and the line was still spilling back into the Coaster courtyard.

the highest I have seen was over 200 (dont remember exactly) for Test Track and for Kilamanjaro Safaris (didn't wait for either lol) ...Also, my absoulte favorite post time to see is "13" at the Tower of Terror ...I just love that sooo much. (That is the number they put up when there is little to no wait) :):sohappy:

An interesting thing I once heard at Disneyland:

When it first opened, the line for Indiana Jones and the temple of the Forbidden Eye extended through the entire queue (for those of you who have been through that queue, you know how incredibly huge that thing is), all the way through Adventureland, I think through part of Frontierland, and down part of Main Street!!!

I dont think I even want to know how long of a wait that would have been!

When Indiana Jones first opened in March of '95, I waited in line for 4 hours. You may call me crazy, but it was worth it, especially since before that all you could do was look at the temple and wonder what was inside. When Rocket Rods first opened in May of '98, I waited for 2 hours. It wasn't as worth it as Indiana Jones, but it was still fun to go on it for the first time after watching the construction from the monorail and rocket jets, and watching them test it for so long.

When Body Wars first opened in Epcot it was common to see a 3 hour line queue during the busy seasons. The line would snake all around half of the Wonders of Life building and then go outside and continue onto the main pathway.

Back then the whole flight simulator technology was new to the theme parks, and everybody thought it would spur the next generation of thrill rides. They were partially correct, though today's hottest rides are part actual motion, and part virtual motion (Spider-Man, Dinosaur, Indiana Jones Adventure, Winnie the Pooh, etc).

The first Easter weekend of Test Tracks opening back in '97.

Now remember this was before fast pass, so the line actually went throughout the entire indoor portion of the que, it then rapped around outside, it then went up the walkway towards Innoventions East and took a left under the breezeway. Now as it left the breezway it split. One line went up towards Spaceship Earth then all the way to the front gates. The other path went from the breezeway, past the Future World fountian, across the Future World/World Showcase bridge, then it took a right toward the Canada Pavillion and finally came to an end halfway into Canada. This is no joke it was a 7-8 hour line. Now I would think that has got to be the longest line ever.

Yeah i saw that back when i went years ago (about 10 years ago), because it seemed so exciting we waited, got on, started going and about 30 seconds somebody behind us puked everywhere (and i do mean everywhere!) My brother had a blister and sunburn on one shoulder so couldn't reach to stop the ride!! Anyway it stopped eventually and we didn't fancy going on that again funnily enough! I would like to now though, despite it being old, i want to see it through to the end!! :lol:

I can't imagine that Indy line @ DL. That queue is huge.

While we were there last Christmas my stepson and I went back in the evening, and PoTC/HM were both over three hour waits. They had turned off the FastPass machines and you couldn't get through the street because of the two lines.

While working in Tokyo Disneyland when Pooh's Hunny Hunt was new, I saw the wait time at just over 6 hours. It's a good ride, but NO ride is that good! :lol:

When I was a kid and Space Mountain first opened I think we waited for about an hour and never even got in the building and then my parents gave up. We went later in the week durring a parade.

We go off season because I can't handle the lines. Can't stand them.
