I heard the line for Superman was backed up to the gates (On 5-26-03) Was this true or no

I wouldn't be surprised its getting towards summer and schools are getting out which means more people in the park.

when i was in line on i think sun.....they were doing sumthing to figure out the approximate waiting time, and it was about a 2 hr wait, and i think they said they're expecting it to get longer.

I saw it backed up to the Columbia Carousel. :shock:

during the day on 5/26 it was out of the entrance (not by much) yet all the rat mazes were open. It was over 2 hrs. for the front row. I dont know where your getting this 4 hrs. from.

Opening day it went by quick except in the zig zag part! I hat that part, makes me very clausterphobic. :shock:

lol.

I've ridden S:UF only when it opens at 10am, and the line does go quick through the maze. The 4-hour wait-time estimate does seem a bit high. The 'line forms here' sign outside of S:UF advertised a 2-hour rental locker. Although the wait-time will not always be under 2 hours, we'll have to wait and see come June and July how S:UF's wait-time can get during the Summer Season.

I was there on Monday. I could tell you the longest was 2 1/2 hours. I went on it before I left for the day and I waited 1 1/2 hours. Your first reaction in lne is like...woah! I'm never going to get on, but after you get through the zig-zag part, It's not too bad.And if you ask me, the boarding pass system they used was kind of dumb. It's a waste of paper, and I don't think the ride attendant actually looked at out numbers. My friend also thought they didn't have the line clearly marked for which side of the stairs to go on for car 1 and cars 2-8. Other than that, it wasn't a bad wait.

Boarding pass? Explain...

chiatrain · by **chiatrain** on Thu May 29, 2003 5:01 pm

Boarding Passes are used to prevent line jumping. The Boarding Passes are ordered numerically and are handed to an Op before getting on the ride. Batman uses Boarding Passes, and perhaps some other rides.

i hope its not that long when i get there. i dont want to wait that long for any coaster, well, maybe for a certain coaster.

About what time of day do the lines start getting fairly long? Cus on our class trip next Friday, we're gonna get there about 11:30 so it will be a little while after opening. Will there already be a longer line on Superman? Or is the park still not very full.

coastrcorey · by **coastrcorey** on Thu May 29, 2003 9:15 pm

Oh yeah... They used those 'boarding passes' when Raging Bull opened. I just didn't know that's what they were called.

Blinkcoaster · by **Blinkcoaster** on Thu May 29, 2003 10:27 pm

Yeah I remember those for V2 also there was like almost no point for them.

chiatrain · by **chiatrain** on Thu May 29, 2003 10:48 pm

Dre, you will probably find a long line for Superman next Friday when you arrive at 11:30. Some schools will be out, and Fridays are typically busy at SFGAm.

Aero737 · by **Aero737** on Fri May 30, 2003 9:56 am

The ride op passing out the boarding passes said from the superman enterance, with all the rat mazes open, was one hour 15 min. We got to the station stairs in about an hour and waited another hour for the front row. I believe they have the wait time down pretty good and it should always take 1 hour 15 min to go through all the rat mazes (switchbacks) and to the station.

coasterzak · by **coasterzak** on Fri May 30, 2003 2:00 pm

Is a 4 hour wait worth the ride?

coasterguy · by **coasterguy** on Fri May 30, 2003 2:27 pm

no ride is worth a 4 hour wait.

coasterzak · by **coasterzak** on Fri May 30, 2003 2:52 pm

Oh I could argue on that one. I'm one crazy kid and will wait 4 hours for MF and I'm sure I'd even wait for TTD!

SFGAmfreak4life · R.I.P. Deja Vu 10/07/01-10/28/07

There is no way that S:UF was a 4 hour wait. It was more like 2 hours.

coasterswimgurl12 · by **coasterswimgurl12** on Fri May 30, 2003 4:04 pm

well....some rides are worth a wait for 4 hours....but S:UF isnt.

SFGAmfreak4life · R.I.P. Deja Vu 10/07/01-10/28/07

Im guessing rides like TTD and MF are. Ive never been on them so Im just guessing they are worth a 4 hour wait.

coasterguy · by **coasterguy** on Fri May 30, 2003 5:31 pm

Well you have been to CP before. I havent. when I go there is no way I will wait 4 hours for 1 ride. There are to many good rides there to wait 4 hours for one. And like I said before no ride is worth a 4 hour wait!! But that is my opinion

coasterzak · by **coasterzak** on Fri May 30, 2003 10:43 pm

Coasterguy, be prepared for long waits. I know a kid that went for their "frightfest" (or whatever they call it) and only got on 4 rides all night long. Most rides had a 3 hour wait or so. But still... I've waited 2 hours for the Raptor, then another 2 for the Mantis, and almost 3 for MF, the only one that isn't worth it was Mantis, but I'm not a standup fan. There are rarely short lines at CP.
