1.5 hours for TTD, but longest wait for me is 1 hour and 50 minutes for Soarin' over Christmas and well worth that wait.

3 hours. The summer when Deja Vu was just reopening again (was it 03?) my brother and I got in line when we saw it working. Unfortunately, it started miscatching as soon as we got into the station. We waited anyway. Big mistake.

Two hours for Voyage.
It was broken down at opening and they were trying to fix it.

I've never really waiting that long for a coaster...

I'll take the first vote for 4 hours.

Park was real busy and Raging Bull was having a real hard time opening for the day, so we had nothing better to do than sit at the entrance and trade off turns on the test seat for hours on end talking to coaster dorks and ride ops. Good times.

Because OTF has a pole option, nothing else does.

Even, though I think there already is a topic on this somewhere, I'll put this in the General Coaster talk forum, since its a pretty decent topic.

Raging bull during fright fest. The line started a little past the Crazy Buffalo Saloon. I forgot exactly how long it took but I think it was around 2 hours. We had a fun time in line though.

I waited over 4 hours for Batman The Ride the year it opened. The line started by the dipping dots across from where superman is now. There where several mouse mazes before you even got to the entrance of Batman.

The longest I have ever waited for a roller coaster was Deja Vu in 2001 for 5 months! :lol:

But seriously the longest was Deja Vu in 2003 when it opened on July 26th 2003. We ended up waiting for about 3 hours before it opened and then we were the first riders of the year other than employees in the front row! :D

I really don't remember. Either 2 hours, or almost 3, for either Deja Vu way back in the day or Superman when it first opened.

I don't wait more then 30 mins now. But now that I think about it, I have rarely been to a park when there has been more then a 1 hour line. I guess I plan my visits well ;)

But I did however wait 3.5 hours for Millennium Force in June 2001. Other then that, its only been 30 min waits.

I waited in that too..it started under the Scenic Railway by Viper and was a grand total of 2.5 hours...however, my worst was 5.5 hours for Millennium Force on Opening Day! The ride was DEFINITELY not worth the wait, however, there was a DJ and stuff in line so it went by farely fast.
RIP: Trailblazer and Deja Vu...heck, even Alien Encounter :(

I waited about 3 hours for Millennium Force. Then as soon I sat down, and pulled the lap bar down; it came back up. They asked us to get up and step back behind the gates. We waited for a nearly 30 minutes more, and finally left the line. It wasn't open for the rest of the day..
