Default 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

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.

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

For me, it's the London Dungeons.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.
