Reagen/Dano, do you remember how long we waited for Top Thrill Dragster? -- nm - Dark Callisto May 3, 07:51 2
- I want to say 2.5 hours-ish. It was at least two playings of A Little Less Conversation on the playlist. -- nm - Dano May 3, 07:54 1
  - This is probably my answer, then! -- nm - Dark Callisto May 3, 07:58
I don't remember. Maybe space mountain. Maybe BC Ferries. -- nm - Beryllium May 3, 07:49
over four and a half hours for Edgar Martinez's autograph on Mariner fan day, when I finally got to the head of the line, Edgar was gone and I ended up with Bret Boone's autograph -- nm* - crash davis May 3, 07:49
A couple of hours, maybe 3 or so, for show tickets once, I believe. Rides at Disney or Universal, Visa lines to get in the US are almost up there. NM - Marlowe May 3, 07:44
probably an hour or more in a line for a coaster at Kings Island back in the day. -- nm - tRuMAN May 3, 07:39
I can't really remember any specifically long lines but those trader joe's lines at the beginning of the pandemic could get pretty brutal. - amanda jeans May 3, 07:33 2
- The one near me had an hour wait to get in at some points, line was blocks long. -- nm - MDH May 3, 07:35 1
  - I think we waited 80 minutes once before we figured out the ideal times to go. note though that during pandemic TJ's really did become my main - amanda jeans May 3, 07:38
A dumbass Black Friday sale for like 5 hours. The guy in front of me was clearly ill. Coincidentally, several days later, so was I. - Will Hunting May 3, 07:33
Probably Sumo in Japan. Had to be there at 4AM, waited until 10 I think? -- nm - Guigue May 3, 07:32
Hour and a half at Pappy's, but worth it b/c (1) BBQ and (2) Waino was there. -- nm - Baron Nefcy May 3, 07:32
The original Return of the Jedi (number of people). -- nm* - Max May 3, 07:31
Probably assorted rides at theme parks. So, 2 hours? -- nm - zunk xometimes May 3, 07:26 6
- about that.. yeah. not a line person -- nm - colin May 3, 07:49
- Re: I don't know how people with younger kids wait in those kinds of lines. I'd dread the "I have to go to the bathroom" message. -- nm - MDH May 3, 07:41 4
  - Diaper up! -- nm - Amy Santiago si May 3, 07:45 3
    - Don't get the Amy reference, but that seems like an easy answer? ST parents did you ever have to leave a line for this reason? -- nm - MDH May 3, 07:47 2

Camped out overnight for concert tickets a few times (got 3rd row Rush is the last one I remember), so probably 12 hours -ish. -- nm - JaxSean May 3, 07:25 3
- Camping was the only way to guarantee you got tickets for a lot of shows. I camped outside MSG to make sure I got Beastie Boys general admission - Krusty May 3, 07:45 2
  - Then I started working for Turtles/BlockbusterMusic that was a Ticketmaster outlet. Those were glorious times. - JaxSean May 3, 07:50 1
    - Very nice deal! I did most of my camping for concerts and sports outside a video rental store that had a Ticketmaster machine inside. - Krusty May 3, 07:58
Opening day tickets to the new Smithsonian African American Museum of History/Culture. Tickets were timed entry, it took us 4 extra hours. -- nm - MDH May 3, 07:25
Overnight for concert tickets in college was the first time. Overnight to reserve my Tesla was the most recent. -- nm - TWuG May 3, 07:24
2 or 3 hours for Return of the Jedi is what immediately comes to mind. -- nm - Mop May 3, 07:23
3 days for sneakers. 2 days for concert tickets(Lollapalooza) and one day for world series tickets(1996 series). -- nm* - Krusty May 3, 07:21
