We live in Ohio, less than 2 hours from Cedar Point. We've been ONCE. How many times have we been to WDW? A lot. :-) -- Kitty (TDC Bashful) remove "whiskers" to e-mail

At least in JC's queue you have the interesting monologue going on in the background. It's somewhat entertaining if you listen to what's being said. >Back in the day, the queue for 20k Leagues was pretty bad.

I think that's because of the immediate presence of a large body of water which lends itself to a higher humidity in the vicinity. That's one of the reasons I haven't gone to Sea World in over 20 years. >I'm trying to think of a queue in any other park that I dislike, and I'm >coming up blank.

All halls from front hallway to incline ramp are yellow painted cinder block walls on both sides, dingy and covered with obnoxious and vulgar graffiti that 6F only paints over once a year. Can't see anything until almost at the top of the inclined ramp, and they take about 15-20 people per 3-5 minute cycle (depending on how fast last group exits and next group gets seat belts on right). Last summer, our wait was about 50 minutes. No fans, no music, no vid screens. No wonder there is so much graffiti. jt

Plus the total lack of >theming doesn't help. Amen. Especially the part farthest from the entrance. They seem to have found a way to run it through 6th dimensional space so that it's 10 times as long as it looks. >Paul Lalli -- Lilith

It's a mob. The same thing applies to Country Bears, VotLM, Muppets 4D and several others of that ilk. And, IMO, those are much worse than queues. At least queues maintain some order regarding who came in when. In these mobs you find people slowly pushing their way through the crowd towards the door and other rude behavior. Then there's the fact that I have trouble standing upright, shuffling, in a constantly morphing landscape at my age. -- Lilith |
