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

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

Haven't actually seen Eminem yet.

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

PS: interesting thread.

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

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)

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.

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.

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.

If you ever go to Big Brother evictions - well the final at least, not sure if it is the same for evictions - you have to queue for ages (something like 6 or 8 hours) otherwise you might not get in.

Don't think I'd bother. I bet you don't see much anyway
