I hear that Millennium Force and Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point have had 6 hour waits.....hopefully it doesn't happen when I go tomorrow.

I think it was about 2+ hours when SUF was first out that me and my dad waited. That was when I was ignorant and didn't know it was a good idea to wait until later in the day because of the fact that a lot of people tend to rush to the ride right away and well, it was the second ride I went on. I hit Condor first, then idiotically waited for this ride. It really is a great idea to ride it later. I can attest to that because the next time I rode it, it was after I made a trip all around the park and hit all the other rides I wanted to (expect Viper, which I felt like going on later in the day) and yeah, the line was pretty short.
Hee hee, look. I have a signature thingy um, thing.

You're kidding, right?! :evil: :!:

Don't you just love when that happens? Pardon the sarcasm.

MF and TTD's waits I believe, were more around 5 hours and that was when those rides were first opened as the tallest and fastest roller coaster. So it was kind of a huge thing going on. Although still popular, they've been around for a few years, and no longer hold the title so they won't be having 5 hour lines. Even when I went to CP two years ago the longest line I saw was for MF which was 2 hours.

Hahaha, yeah, Mr. D.T.. It really stunk.

I'm so glad we went 2 days that year. We finally got in line at the end of the day before it closed. We must of walked out of there around 1:30 in the morning. What a great ride it was. [This was also before TTD]

I went to CP on a Saturday for Halloweekends a few years ago, and it was the most ridiculous thing ever. We waited 1.5 hrs for Mean Streak, and refused to wait the 6 hr wait for MF and Dragster. The park is insane during Halloweekends.
Millennium Force Laps: 22
Maverick Laps: 1
TTD Laps: 12

Just moved to Chicago from Ohio, and I'm ready for SFGA!

Waited 3 for Vu way back in the day. It was worth it though.

I waited a little over 3 hours for Maverick because it kept breaking down. Otherwise it would have been a 1 and a half to 2 hour wait.
