[jdybnsn]

I hate the Test Track queue in Epcot :( ...it seems to go on forever and it is so noisy !

The queue for Soarin was massive when we went in Presidents Week last year ...nearly 2 hours..good job we had Fast Passes..but we still had a 20 min wait with these !

Also I really dislike what I call "the queue is disguise "...where you think you have entered the ride/ show but you are subjected to 15 mins of blab from a TV screen with some pointless pre-ride/show drivel...for example the "Honey I Shrunk The Audience" experience. I just wanna get on the ride !!!!!!!

...but if you go half an hour, or less, before the fireworks start, virtually all rides are walk on !



Gosh..I do seem to be knocking the rides /shows at Epcot :omg: ...maybe its because there are fewer of them compared to the other parks and so the queues are greater ??

[loopy linda]

It would be the test track ride for me ,especially as you have to watch the video first and then cue again

[Jo2]

Worst queue was in Universal for shrek....1.5 hour wait...test track is pretty bad especially when it brakes as you get to the door lol!!!

[SugarPlumFairy]

The worst for us has been Test Track in Epcot, even when we have gone at realy quiet times, it has been known to be over an hour!:confused2

Have managed to bag it a few times though and the wait was 10-20 mins!!!:spin: :spin:

[Cyclospora]

...... and that flippin' banging noise with the crash test dummies gets right on my wick!!!!!

[princessjilly]

Soarin is ALWAYS miles long.
Splash mountain can get pretty long as well.

[SimonB]

The queue for Test Track always seemed bad.

[wombat]

Worst ones we have ever had.

Dumbo - CM told us that this is the busiest ride in WDW

Test Track - Too Noisy

20000 Leagues Under the Sea (Closed Now)

[grumpybri]

The one I don't like is Thunder Mountain. Waiting in that cattle pen of a line, up & down, back and forth, jammed in like sheep. :(

[TiggerD]

Soarin
Test Track
Splash Mountain

[ORLANDOPAUL]

I Must Just Go At The Right Time Never Waited More Then 20mins For All Rides

[vaunlou]

soarin......thank goodness for fast pass......
peterpan......i try to do this ride early on

[missl]

are the qeues not any shorter in sept and how much are the fastpasses?

[Cinders Mum]

Ann Fastpasses are free, you insert your park ticket in the machine, and it will have a 1 hour window for you to return printed on the ticket, at the bottom it will also tell you when you can get another fastpass ticket, if it is relatively quiet this will become active 5 minutes after your fastpass window opens, if it is busier it may be earlier than this.

September is relatively quiet typical queue times from 0-30 mins the worst being at the weekends, you will notice a difference however as you approach the end of september in into October when the crowds will increase due to Food & Wine and MNSSHP nights increasing, which will see wait times increase to 60-100 mins at the worst ..... (which is still nothing compared to peak travel dates, but a shocker when you are used to the virtual walk ons from the previous week) HOWEVER, with the free DDP and various US offers this may change this year as it may well be busier, the above is obviously how is HAS been, not a promise of how it will be.

[doreen]

Test track, Peterpan (still not been on this!) Buzz lightyear has always been busy when we have been there.

[KittyKat]

For us it has to be Test Track. Even with a FP we waited about 30 mins one day. DS went in the single rider line which was posted as 10 minutes and had to wait about 45 mins. Dumbo is such a slow loader that what seems like a modest queue takes a long time.

Kitty

[blighty]

Weve been lucky, as the previous times we have been it has been sept/oct so relatively quiet, and all rides virtual walk ons. We did notice last time, however, that the queues for soarin were nudging the 60 min. mark. Val, how busy do you expect it to be in September/October this year?

[missl]

thanx val thats really helpful:)

[ianpetchey]

The three worst queues I've been in are in order,

Soaring - wasn't actually in the queue, but it took about 5 minutes to walk past everyone else who didn't have a fastpass....:grin:

Men in black - First time, queued for about an hour, the problem is the queue goes round corners and suddenly you find another 1000 or so people in another area you couldn't see before. And the queue continues inside!

Dualing dragons - Queued a while on this, and the express pass still leaves you with a significant wait if its busy..

The two rides I would not like to queue for if all the queueing areas were full would be splash mountain and the mummy, they must be really long waits. I am going to Six Flags - Magic Mountain in CA this year, by all accounts some of the rides there are ALWAYS two hour waits.....

[davidbillcliffe]

On a slightly different tack, for me the worst waits are those at the water parks.

Slowly trudging 80ft into the air.

Some huge American behind in front.

Skin bubbling in the Summer heat.

'Especially at Wet 'n' Wild, when you're stood in your speedos hanging over a main road.

[pinkcandy]

Soarin, 2 hours:(

[Seminole]

I have been queuing since 1980 to go on Captain Nemo's 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea.

I remember in 1990 I queued for a ride at Universal (think it had the Flinstones in it) which had a 75 minutes wait time for a poor 3 minute 'experience'

[P&S]

Soarin terrible queues :( 120 mins when we were there in Oct luckily we had fastpass :grin:
Test Track queue was 70 mins :( luckily again had fastpass :grin:
Jaws always seems to have a massive queue as well :confused2
Sue

[bigchloe]

It would be the test track ride for me ,especially as you have to watch the video first and then cue again

___________________i so agree_____________________x x :tinkani:

[ChoppyGirl]

Blooming Dumbo. Why no Fast Pass? We went early in the morning one day and it was ok but when we went on another evening we had to queue for ages. Plus DD wanted to go on again :cry:

[essexmick]

the worst one we saw last trip was test track it was 90mins :omg: then duelling dragons, but that was just busy not horrendous

[brody-maddison]

The ones I always notice with long queues are:

Soarin' : Never seen it below 90mins.

Peter Pan : Always seems to be around 60 mins +

Expedition Everest : Was over 90 mins last July but guessing it was due to it being new

[susieb]

Dumbo. its so slow loading. And I hate it when they use up one car for one adult riding alone who sits talking on their mobile during the whole ride.

[xxSarahxx]

Ours last Easter were;

Test Track -they ran out of Fast Passes! and we waited 2 hours:(

Then Soarin - which again ran out of Fast Passes! we waited 1.5 hours

They were still worth it though :donald_bo

[rpbert1]

Soarin, was the worst i have seen for queues while i was there

[joolsleeds]

Test Track & Shrek.....both really bad.

Jools

[jfk]

The loading times for Soarin are incredibly long!! Even with a FP you'll be lucky if you're on and off inside 25 minutes.

The Pteterdon (spelling??) Flyers ride at IOA is another awful queue; never less than 45 minutes and moves at the speed on an arthritic snail :mad2:

The single worst for me though is the Indy Speedway at MK. DS loves this ride but there's always a queue and you spend 45 minutes breathing in petrol fumes in 90 degree + heat with your ears being assaulted by the awful engine noises. By the time I've got off I want to throw up and then lie in a darkened room for an hour.

[filharmonic]

a few years ago on july 4th we stood in line for splash mountain for over 2hours, the sign said 70 mins and then it had tech problems, it was so hot as well, we go in oct now and if the wait is longer than 30 mins we dont bother.

[Alvin]

the worst queue has to be sitting in the traffic trying to get out of Wigan.

[angelus82]

1/ The New Finding Nemo Ride at Epcot... it's great to queue through when you are going on the ride. It's great how it feels like you are heading under the sea, but if you wanna just go on turtle talk then you have to do half the Finding Nemo Queue.

2/ Soarin'... never less than 70 mins we found when we went first 2 weeks in November.

3/ Expedition Everest... We were there at 10.30 and the queue was already 90 mins long, with FP not available until 15:00, again in November.

Shocking.

[ally1966]

Test Track
Soarin'
Honey I Shrunk The Audience

Waited well over an hour for each and then gave up on Epcot and went back to the hotel - mind you, it was Thanksgiving Week !!!

[burbs]

When we were there in August/September it was my daughters 6th Birthday and she wanted to go to MK, problem was we didnt realise that it was bank holiday weekend. We hadnt encountered queues until this Saturday and it was unreal.

The biggest queue was for meeting Ariel, where you go through the cave tyoe layout and get a picture etc with her. We queued for an age in boiling hot sun.

[HuddsBassBone]

Without a doubt, it has to be the Jimmy Neutron Ride at Universal. Queued up for around 2hrs, and it turned out to be the worst ride of the whole day. Definately one to miss unless you're got 5yr olds with you, I think.

At Disney, usually Peter Pan.

[ianpetchey]

Don't diss the Neutron! :grin:

[HuddsBassBone]

OK, perhaps I was a little hard on the Neutron! :)

But thinking back, it was the version of the Birdy Dance in the middle of it that the cars jump up and down to, that made me feel incredibly sick. Like being bounced on someones knee when I was 3!!! :tounge:

[coastergirls]

HAs to be 1. Dumbo 2. Dumbo 3. Dumbo.
Don't think youngest 2 have ever done Dumbo as I will not queue for ridiculous amount of time for this ride.
Apart from Peter Pan ride don't remember ever having to queue for more than 30 mins for anything. We never go at busy times of the year and always make best use of the fastpass.
No queues at Universal or IOA with FOL pass!!!

[Bradleysmummy]

We queued for 3 hours for Shrek when it was new!!!

[hiddenmickey94]

Soarin at Epcot
Test Track at Epcot
Splash Mountain at Magic Kingdom

[leicesterbob]

The queue for the stunt show at the studios is never very long but it is the worst organised and very claustrophobic.

Always seems to be a lot of hanging about at the Terminator show (but worth it!!).

[pinkypominnie]

I can remember going 13 years ago and the worst queues being:

ET
Back to the Future
Splash Mountain

Since the introduction of fast passes I cant understand how anyone ever queues for anything!! We use the single rider at Test Track and pretty much got straight on and with careful planning and use of fastpasses and getting to the parks for opening, we didnt queue longer than 15/20 mins for anything and went on EVERY ride in all the parks!! xx

[disney dave]

dumbo
soarin
and shrek at universal

[jo&steve]

Soarin'
Test Track
Men In Black (but ride broke down for a while)

[madwife]

Nickelodeon Studio Tour - complete waste of time, thank god it's gone :(

Indy Speedway at MK - well worth the wait :)

Fantasmic - again well worth the wait. However will definately do the dining package from now on.

:grin:

[ethanjosh]

Test Track and Soarin are bad , but Thunder Mountain is bad because your in a cattle pen type thing whilst the sun is baking you :(

[Tartan Tigger]

Soarin (even with a fast pass)
Peter Pan
Expedition Everest

We go in July so queues are huge. We always use fast pass where it is available.

[K Walshe]

For the first 2 weeks in agust .

1. THE WATERPARKS AT WEEKENDS PACKED TO CAPACITY Would not let anyone in.

2. TEST TRACK , 30 MIN WAIT BUT AS SOON AS WE GOT IN IT WNT UP TO 60 MIN THEN BROKE DOWN HALF WAY THROUGH AND HAVEN TO QUE AGAIN AFTER THE VIDEO.

3. All rides in universal went up to 2.5 hours , thank god for staying onsight as we did not have to que at all.

[Andy_B]

When we were there from the 13th to the 20th the longest posted queue was 210 minutes for Test Track!

[Fatlad]

I Must Just Go At The Right Time Never Waited More Then 20mins For All Rides

I'm with you mate. Always go later in the year and very rarely have to queue more than 20 minutes for anything.

You can keep your 100 degrees and 1 1/2 hour queues. Fair enough the parks are open longer at peak times but they need to be to let you do everything.

[Lady]

1. Ripsaw Falls - always long
2. Splash Mountain - 80 mins.
3. Journey to Atlantis - cant remember how long but DH was seriously p***** by the time we got back.

We have always gone in May June and july time so it is busy. We re going next month the last week so hope it wont be TOO busy.

[colinzy]

1. Soarin
2. Splash mountain
3. Buzz Lightyear

[Magic Mouse]

This year it was:

1) Peter Pan
2) Test Track (without fastpass)
3) Jimmy Neutron in US

[essexmick]

the only bad Q ive witnessed was test Track in 04 and was 90mins so we skipped it, not wasting that amount of time for 1 ride :nonono:, other than that near on walk on everything else :)

[MrBrady]

Week before last we looked at the queue at Peter Pan at 7:05pm on Monday and it was a 90 minute wait. The following morning at 8:05am we walked on.. :D

Worst queue I saw was on Duelling Dragons at IOA - no-one checking the Express passes and just a complete nightmare once you got inside the castle. Even with FOTL we waited upwards of 30 minutes to ride.

[MrBrady]

.. and we walked onto Soarin at 9:05am on a Thursday morning. When we exited the Land pavilion, the wait time was 70 minutes!

[Shellzbelz]

The most horrendous queues we ever experienced were the first time we went to Disney 18 years ago. It was June and at that time there was only MK and EPCOT and the crowds were huge.

Spent a hour and half waiting for Mr Toads Wild Ride and the like. Wanted to throw myself under the wheels of the car when I saw what it was like! The problem was we didn't know what any of the rides were like so we were queuing for everything - we didn't have a great resource like the Dibb to help us out.

[*Princess Jade*]

Whinnie the pooh!...
Tower of Terror....and..
Peter Pan

Other than that though, been ok! :D

[Alison]

The longest queues we did were to see the characters! Never more than 20 minutes, though - it would have been too hot.

[wazzimama]

nov 2005...winnie the pooh and small world
nov 2006... soarin'

[jonnno]

Peter Pan - a long queue for a disappointing ride

[doradaxplorer]

Soarin!!!
Test track

[greggo6]

Just got back and it was Thunder Mountain that was the worst as the CM operating the ride was accepting about 10 standbys to 100 fast pass guests. But we are British and we are the best in the world at queuing!!

[PepermintPatty]

Soarin'
Dumbo
Test Track

[Hawkmoon]

For what it is Dumbo has to be up at the top of the list. I'll be going early for it this year or not at all.

[AlltheHoggs]

Soarin' but boy was it worth it! Queues at IOA were terrible all day. We did both Test Track and Tower of Terror 8 times so I did get a bit sick of the lead-in by the 8th time. We were really lucky at MK to be handed Dream Passes after queing for 30 minutes for Splash Mountain, so it does have its good points I s'pose...right place, right time for a change. I'll remember that day forever!
