Default What is the worst queue for an attraction?

I know Disney does it's best with the theming of the queue's for the attractions since they know that you will probably be there for a while. Having just returned from WDW, I have come to the conclusion that I HATE standing in line for RnR. So much so that if the line is long and we don't have a fast pass, we are more likely to skip it.

What line do you hate to stand in?

I've always thought that the queue for Big Thunder Mountain is like the queue you can find for a roller coaster in any Six Flags in the country.

In terms of "This wait is torture" I give my vote to Honey, I Shrunk The Audience.

The BTMRR queue is long and hot in the summer! I'd also add the queue for the Voyage of the Little Mermaid in DHS...you're packed in while you're outside and then you're packed in again like sardines when you enter the pre-show area.

For us there is nothing worse than RNRC. It is torture and you can see that in the faces of almost everyone the closer you get to the entrance door.

JUNGLE CRUISE!!!

...and dishonourable mention to Test Track (only because I've been caught in there FAR too many times during break-downs).

Big Thunder (HOT, HOT, HOT in there), Peter Pan (just long and slow), and Dumbo (no shade on hot days). I can put up with the rest of them for the most part if I was dumb enough to not get a FastPass.

I've got to agree with you're assesment. Although I enjoy BTMRR, and the queue itself is not bad, when we were there a couple of weeks ago I noticed all of the gum on the roof shingles as you look down towards TSI and the ride itself. Usually WDW is impeccably clean. I reminded me of a six flags queue because of it. "The Demon", formerly a ride at Six Flags Great America in Illinois, had a wall that was covered with gum that you'd stand next to as you'd wait. Heat usually isnt a problemn there for us as we try to go during the 'Off season'....

I also agree that HISTA is a grueling wait too.

Tomorrowland Speedway. Hot. No themeing, no payoff at the end.

Definitely Peter Pan! Love the ride but only do it first thing in the morning or late at night when the lines are low.

Test Track is the worst for me because the line moves slowly, the music is annoying, and the constant sounds of the machines get old really fast.

Gotta agree with BTMRR, and Peter Pan, I won't wait if it's more than 20 min.

But I will NOT wait more than 5 minutes in the queue for the Maelstrom! It is so dark and claustrophobic and smelly in there! If it's longer than that, I'll use FP or skip it.

You read my mind - TT is the most annoying.

I must agree with those that said BTRR. It is hot and boring.
There are several rides I won't wait in line for such as Peter Pan, Snow White, Pooh, Spaceship Earth, Living with the Land.
While I like Sorin, I will not wait more than 10 minutes for it and will fast pass it whenever possible
