What the longest time -
 
- you have queued for anything? Tickets, a place, a book, game etc. Have you ever camped out in a queue for example? You know, like those on the news who sit for 3 days on the streets for the Royal Wedding or tickets to see Donny Osmond

I think I've spent more time in the que at primark than I have actually shopping in primark.. they're always so massive!

Ramsay 27-07-2011 09:12 PM

2 hour queue in Game once. For a ****ing Sims stuff pack that wasn't even new. But it's the ONLY place that sold it. :bored:

Everyone was buying some new ****ty Xbox game though

King Gizzard 27-07-2011 09:13 PM

Alton Towers rides. What a joke that place is

Locke. 27-07-2011 09:13 PM

About 2 hours to get on some ride in Alton Towers.. it kept breaking down while we were waiting. Was all over an hour late back for the coach back to college.

Marsh. 27-07-2011 09:15 PM

Wow, I don't think I'd stay in a queue if I knew I was going to be more than about 20 minutes. 2 hours? I think I'd have died of boredom.

Chuck 27-07-2011 09:17 PM

3 hours queue for a ride on:

Your college took you to Alton Towers? :confused: Did you mean school?

For me, it's the London Dungeons.

No, college. We went every year with school aswell, but we went on the last day of college last year.

6 hours for tickets to Eminem in 2006, got in the paper and all for being first in line to get tickets......3 weeks later he went to Rehab and cancelled it :(

Kerry 27-07-2011 09:19 PM

I've queued for rides before. I wonder if anyone here has camped out to wait for anything

Callum 27-07-2011 09:19 PM

I queued for hours to get Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows books but I think my longest ever wait was something like 4 hours at the Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride in Florida, it broke down like twice so we had to wait ages in the blistering heat.

Kerry 27-07-2011 09:20 PM

Doesn't it put anyone off if the rides keep breaking down? :joker:

I waited for less than an hour to get on that. theres so much you have to walk around though

King Gizzard 27-07-2011 09:22 PM

never in a rush to get anything, just wait for it to get cheaper/get it online

Doogle 27-07-2011 09:22 PM

I wouldn't mind queuing for rides if they have things to do/look at while you wait like in Legoland :joker:

Yeah I went it on again and there was like no wait, so much easier and the single riders queue goes even faster. I didn't mind waiting that much though actually because there's so much to see in the queue, it's like an attraction in itself.

I finally got to see him live 4 years later than originally planned :hugesmile:

Kerry 27-07-2011 09:25 PM

Last time I went to Alton Towers it was pretty quiet. Think the longest wait was 20 minutes for the Nemesis so I went on twice :D

Once waited three hours to get on Air at Alton Towers. The sign said it was only 40 minutes and we ended up being really late for the coach. Luckily, there was about 30 of us so we didn't actually get in that much trouble.

I bought the last three Harry Potter books at midnight too, I think they were about an hour and half wait each.

joeysteele 27-07-2011 09:58 PM

I think the longest I have been in a queue was for the London Eye,I think we were in the queue for tickets and then to get on for about an hour and a half.

Vicky. 27-07-2011 10:04 PM

3 hours for AIR at alton towers :bored:

CharlieO 27-07-2011 10:04 PM

Three and a half hours at thorpe park for Saw: The Ride when it first opened. Was not worth it.

yeah we kinda had to rush past it all. its annoying cause the amount we waited, we would be outside in the heat, but when we walked, we had to go past all the interesting stuff

Smithy 27-07-2011 10:17 PM

like 20 minutes, I really have no patience :joker:

michael21 27-07-2011 10:17 PM

i dont like waiting in queued i get :bored: i think the longest is 30mims at xmas it might of been more

Princess 27-07-2011 10:40 PM

Longest I've queued for TT is 11 hours, did that twice. Also did two 10 hour stints, a 8 and a 4.

Redway 27-07-2011 10:53 PM

Hours for Air at Alton Towers. What a brilliant place that is! :worship:

Haven't actually seen Eminem yet. :(

But, come on: is a five-minute ride worth a three-hour wait?

PS: interesting thread. :)

Joelle. 27-07-2011 10:58 PM

To get on Rita Queen Of Speed (as it was known then) at Alton Towers. It started taking off backwards just as we got to the front of the queue. I cant remember how long we waited but we eventually gave up and left

Jords 27-07-2011 11:00 PM

Theme park queues are the WORST, because in the end you queue for ~2 hours for something that last 2 minutes, crazy!

Not been to 1 in ages thinking of it, do love them (bar the queuing) :love:

Zippy 27-07-2011 11:02 PM

Ugh hell no. I don't have the patience for queues. Any longer than 10 minutes and I start fantasizing about killing everybody in front of me.

Visage 27-07-2011 11:02 PM

2 hours for the new Toy Story ride in Disney, however it's not as bad queuing over there and they have activities going on during the queue.

We going over to Universal in a couple of weeks to go on the new Harry Potter rides and I'm expecting longs queues.

Niall 28-07-2011 01:09 AM

1 hour for the Safari Ride in Disney's Animal Kingdom, Florida. :joker:

Jordan. 28-07-2011 01:12 AM

Like others have said Alton Towers, Think it was about 2 hours queing for Air & this was on a week day during school times :bored:

King Gizzard 28-07-2011 01:22 AM

Especially when the rides last way shorter than a minute most of the time. piss take

Sarah. 28-07-2011 01:21 PM

10 hours for Take That.. (Robbie)

Longest I've queued for a ride is about 90 mins for Th13teen at Alton Towers. Wasn't worth it. I never queue longer that 30 mins for a ride now, I just use the single rider queue. :)
