Long Lines

Featured Replies

Most would probably agree that long lines suck, so my question is what do you do to pass the time?

when i was a teen, and we were in the park on crowded days, we would talk to ourselves for a few minutes, and then scream out a "hey (insert popular name)" and see who turned around. Haha if they were close enough, we would start a conversation and see if we could get them to say they "remembered us". it was alwyas fun, but after two or three times in a 2 hour line, people started to catch on to what you were doing an eventually started ignoring you.

met some pretty interesting people though

If alone, I read my park map over and over again - and think about other things. When with others, I chat with them.

once, with friends, we played slaps while in line for millenium force. when with others, ill chat with them. When im by myself however, sometimes ill just stand there and think, other times when im really bored ill pull out the cellphone, turn on bluetooth, and find random people with bluetooth on and send them stupid pictures of things like laundry detergent and cool whip. its kinda funny expecially because they are almost always visible, and actually accept the transfer.. lol

I look at the women in line and rate them in order of most attractive...... Yes, I'm a male pig......LOL!!!!

Thanks Beetle. You made my day...

That's okay. I've often heard teen girls do the same thing to men...rating them from hottie to yuck. Wonder how'd you do? :) I'm sure it matters much less now than back in the days when you were a teen male!

(Being of a certain age, they consider me both harmless and invisible, which has its advantages...)

I have no idea how I would do with the younger crowd, but I have had two or three women closer to my age ask if I was married, so I guess I'm not TOO far gone yet. I'm also mostly invisible to the youngsters, but I'm apparemtly safe enough looking to be asked things like the time, where something in the park is located, what certain rides are like, etc. Unfortunately, they all call me "sir."

I read the map i have then i sit there and chat with my frineds and if all else fails i look around for people i know.

I dont really know what i do... i just kinda get in line and end up on the ride. If i have my camera than ill take some pics though.

Seconded.

^ Thirded! My male friends and I enjoy rating the women amongst ourselves to pass time!

I normally stand around and look at the park and thank about about what it would be like to design an attraction, or me and my friends play a game where we say "you know what I hate....." then say what is annoying us in line. Or we play swat the invisible bee. Its funny when others around us start to swat too, when there isn't anything there.

Alone: iPod Video

1 other person: iPod video with one earbud per person.

2 or more other people: Chat

I'm usually either watching...

V for Vendetta

Sweeney Todd

Family Guy: Blue Harvest

Penn & Teller: Bulls**t

I like to people watch and listen to them, like the two boys behind me in line at Monster yesterday who just couldn't believe that they only loaded 2 arms at a time.

Plus, as a few others have said on here, checking out the females is not a bad way to pass the time either! :P

Usually when I'm by myself, I just listen to my Ipod Touch but if I'm with my friends I make fun of the like 21 year old rednecks that are all over each other in line. Its rather funny :lol:

I like to to people watch also.

I also like it when there is a good set of tunes to listen to. ( Love to listen to the techno music in MF queue. I get a big kick out of seeing grown men dance to it.)

Also, I will often keep time as to exactly how long the wait is. I often find that what many people state to be the wait time is highly exaggerated.

Speaking of red-necks, last time i went to KI i was in the queue hangar for FoF and a family of rednecks were all eating an orange. I guess it had seeds in it cause they kept spitting stuff into the trash can...

Hmmm. Back when I was in college, there was a practice.

Let's put it this way....perhaps they were actually drinking that orange.

Which shouldn't have been allowed in the park anyway, according to park policy...and perhaps that is one reason.

At least they spit in the trash can. Where I came from, the locals used to spend the day out in the cowfields and come into the family restaurant with crap on their boots....yuk!!!

That reminds me... I'm getting real tired of people spitting on the paths and ques. It's pretty easy to step in it if you aren't looking, plus is shows a general disrespect for the park.

Don't get me started on gum. It's especially bad when it heats up and sticks to everything.

I usually sit on the rails and smoke. Then yell out obscenities when the lines are too long.

But to be serious, I want to check out girls but i always go with mine. so id say i spend my time in line trying to find things to distract her while i get a peek at some other girls.
