Your most disproportionately long wait for a ride?

Never did Racing Legends. By the time we'd got on the Flying Theatre it had a huge queue and we were getting fed up of Ferraris

Judging by the success (or lack there of) of this park it would seem most people don't care too much for Ferrari's either. Hahaha.

Wouldn't be shocked too see it changed into a generic second gate at some point down the line and all mention of Ferrari is gone.
 
Queued for Nemesis and Oblivion for a couple of hours on numerous occasions throughout late nineties and early oughts.

Think I queued an hour for Nickelodeon Streak/Rollercoaster one chilly February. A torturous seventy-five for that Mack launched water coaster, the name of which suddenly escapes me, at Walibi Belgium this past summer.

Come to think of it, I think the low point of my theme park queueing career was well over an hour for the Log Flume at Camelot. Had my hand forced into it on a school trip.
 
Crush's Coaster at DLP on opening year...ouch.

Even worst for waiting on a ride? Waiting for an actually good coaster to come to Scotland is the true peak of hellish queue waiting so I win hands down for sheer torture.

I don’t think you’ll ever get a decent coaster up there, you might as well just move so as not to be torturing yourself waiting for one.

Loyalty mate, can't give up now until my homeland installs something, anything half decent and yes it would be easy to move south but that would be me admitting defeat. Stubborn as a bulldog I have to be that keeps me going.

Then again Blackpool is a Scottish colony so the BPB is ours technically speaking I suppose...
 
Opening year of Charlie and the chocolate factory. The queue was near the entrance to the restaurant. Can’t remember how long I queued and when I got off it I wished I hadn’t bothered.
 
Makes you feel better when you think about how long people waited for Smiler on opening day.
 
Stormforce 10 at Drayton. Waited 1 hour 30 through a couple of breakdowns (we were committed at that point). Got to the front of the queue and had another breakdown which resulted in emptying the queue. We were escorted through the boats and out of the exit without riding!
We did eventually ride later in the day with a much shorter queue but definitely not worth the wait...
 
Without a doubt, it has to be waiting 3 hours for the I'm a Celeb experience at Thorpe Park. It was during a heatwave in 2018, there was a big power cut, the heat was just insane and trying to get a drink from anywhere on site was like trying to source toilet roll at the start of the Pandemic.

The biggest salt in the wound was the fact I was only queuing to keep my friend happy and when we eventually made it in... it broke down twice - each time having to be evacuated... It's the closest I've ever come to going to prison 😂
