| | | Lineups at your park? How big are the lines at your park? Obviously on weekends its more crowded but how long does it take on weekdays as well as weekends to ride the roller coasters at your park?
Here at La Ronde it usually takes about half an hour for every roller coaster. (especially vampire which is always packed and if both trains arent working then good luck!) cobra always has less lineup (a standup roller coaster) and so does super manege. Monstre is pretty popular around here being the highest wooden coaster in the world but the lines go fast as there are 4 trains. The flat rides are walkons like Tornado (maximum 10 minutes) and bateau pirate (pirate **** but it's been closed lately). Vertigo takes a whole lot of time even if it has such a small lineup. Manitou as well and Orbite (which is like a tower ride.. its always crowded and takes about 30-45 minutes)
Now its your turn! |

| | | At CanobieLake most of the rides you only wait 1 or 2 loads till your now.The S&S tower maybe 10mins... 2 of the 3 coasters are almost always walkons.. But Cannonball almost always has a full line (takes about 45mins).
SFNE can get VERY crazy sometimes.. Mr Six gets 2 hour lines anyday of the week. SROS use to have 3 hour lines 2000-2003 now it still pulls 2 hours.. SFNEs SLC is almost always over an hour wait. And the S&S gets 90mins almost everyday.

| | | Hmm, well I'm not sure which park is my home park, so I consider Sylvan Beach, Seabreeze, and SFDL as all of my home parks. I'll start with Sylvan Beach. The lines were exteremely small, given it's not that known and on top of that I go on week days. All of the rides i nthe park are a 2 to 5 minute wait, but that's because that is how long the ride lasts. So I can ride every real ride (no kiddie) in the park and then some re rides on almost half of them in 2 to 3 hours. Then there is Seabreeze. Jack Rabbit normally has lines 5 to 10 minutes long, but that's because it is 85 years old, and there is a brake man in the station so it is forced to run on one morgan 20 passenger train. Then most of the other rides are 10 minutes long, including the waterpark. The only rides that have a line over 10 minutes are the kiddie coaster, which was like 20 to 30 minutes long (or it seemed that long because I was bored) and Gyrosphere, which it's lines are 10 to 20 minutes long, but that's because it is an enclosed Scrambler with a laser light show and the ride lasts like 5 minutes. Then there is bobsleds, which it was originally a kiddie coaster but then then it was modified to have a third layer of track, and becausde it was originally a kiddie coaster, it's capacity was low, 3 trains withg 4 passengers each, so now a family coaster, it's line reaches 15 to 30 minutes, while the lines in the waterpark are about 10 minutes. Then there is SFDL where Predator's line was 10 to 15 minutes long, then S:ROS was 30 minutes long, when the line was almost in the station. Next was Mind Eraser, which it's line was 10 to 20 minutes long. Viper lasted 5 minutes. Also there is Twister, the park's Top SPin where the line is about 10 minutes. (They are all so short because I'm basing it on the last time I went there and it was i nearly September 2004) I can't really remember the rest. |
