Top Gun was long. I am told Dueling Dragons is longer. Top Gun was a walk on when I went a couple weeks back.

I think he is talking about physical length of the que... Top Gun PKI has one of the longest I've seen. It's a waste of concrete. DD is nowhere near as long as Top Gun's. Tenn Tornado has an extremely long one when you look at it. It's all cutbacks, but if that thing was ever filled up it would be a 2 hour wait! I've never seen them ever have a line longer than down the ramp near the station. I think they learned their lesson on that one and Thunderhead's line is much much shorter.

Dueling Dragons has the world's longest queue at a mile and a half.

Plus I too remember reading Dueling Dragons had the longest line at a mile and a half but I'm not sure if that takes into account all the cutbacks and what not inside the castle. |

Grizzly and Hurler at PKD have long lines. I also remember that for some reason, Jaguar! at KBF was very long. It weaved back and fourth many many times throughout the temple.

Texas Giant has a pretty long line also, but I know it is not a mile and a half.

Road Runner Express use to have a really long que at SFFT. You would make your way in and out of a buildings multiple times. Now they changed it where you only have to walk half the distance it use to be.

DD is deffinately the longest in the world in terms of actual physical length. Top Gun is pretty long but not as long. Alepngeist can have a pretty long line when the whole thing is open.

I guess they take into account all the cutbacks on DD. It didn't take nearly as long to walk to the station as it did for Top Gun.

Georgia Scorcher had a beast of a queue if it's full. On opening day, the wait was over 3.5 hours. The line starts right in front of the station, but then goes underneath a covered walkway, doubles back on itself, goes through a ton of cutbacks, and then heads towards the station. Not nearly as long as some others, but it's pretty big, along with B:TR (the entire thing).

I know that back in 2000 Millennium force had quite a queue area. You can still see where the extra hour to two hours worth of switchbacks were until 2002 right under and behind the final overbank. Mean Streak has a rather long queue as well. Not only is there that really long walk to the station as it is right now, but there are about two to three hours worth of switchbacks from when it opened in 1991. You really could put a flat ride in MS's infield and use the old queue line for the flat's line.

If it's not Dueling Dragons, then Dudley Do Right would be right up there. Especially if they ever opened up all of those switchbacks. Something about IOA having some of the longest queues that I've ever seen anywhere. And I don't recally PKI's Top Gun having a really long queue area, but then it's been a few years since I've been there last. At least with IOA's massive queues, they theme them out so there is something worth seeing in them.

Cobra at Ratanga Junction was definitly the longest line/walk back. For me at least i waited 2 hours when it first opend. it has 3 trains and is a very short coaster. that may not be long for you but it was for me but you wouldn't know because its not in america.

Dueling Dragons took 10 minutes for me to walk through, and its so hard to figure out where you are going. Its definitely the longest line. After that would be B:TR at SFOG if they ever had all the switchbacks open in that building. It must go back and forth 10 times in there, and its pretty big.

My answer would be the phantoms revenge. I don't know if it is the longest but the entrance and exit are not very close.

DD and Hurler were the longest lines I've walked through. Also, while maybe not the longest, Hulk's line seemed to take up ever inch of two levels on the inside of the building. When I walked in I hoped I was almost there, only to find I still had an hour to go.

Top Gun at Wonderland is also really long. It doesn't need to be either because the lines moves really fast. I recall Dueling Dragons being a hike and a half.
