Best Queue in Disneyland/DCA

[Prof. Emelius]

How about we do a switcharoo on this, and name the worst queues in Disneyland as well. Canoes is bad - it is always really hot in that part of the park, and it is totally uncovered, also the line is really really really really slow.

[Spence]

Worst queue in the park?

Three words: Goofy's Sky School.

Need I say more?

[Prof. Emelius]

Never been to DCA - but i will take your word based on how adamant you sound about it.

BEST

DL = Indy. ( This was ahead of it's time and the standard I hold all other queues up to. ENTERTAIN ME while I'm standing on my feet for 90 minutes waiting, eh?! )

DCA = Muppet Show ( It's not a big line but it's interesting. The frosted glass doors, the sounds of things going on behind, the pre-show waiting area... I could stand there and look at that pre-show room for far longer than the waiting requires. )


WORST

DL = Peter Pan. ( I love the ride but of the 5 dark rides in/near the castle this is the one with consistently the longest <45 min avg> wait. There's really nothing to be done about that wait, but it's amplified when you're in a queue of switchbacks and chains that some kid is almost always swinging on while his parents don't care. )

DCA = Soarin'. ( The corrugated metal walls, the static pics,... <Yawn> It's like I'm in the lobby of a steakhouse or something. It's monotonous and boring and could use something interactive to remind me that I'm in a Disney park. Hard to believe this line was created AFTER the queue for Indiana Jones. )

Storybookland is my least favorite: Very narrow switchbacks through metal railings and full of impatient little kids (not that I blame them).

I love te one for Golden Zephyr. Such detail, completely breathtaking.

ah yess! i love it too!

Tower of Terror, Indy, HM, and Star Tours are my favorite, though maybe not always efficient. I don't really mind waiting in them.

BEST- DISNEYLAND- Pre-Fast Pass Indy. This perfectly sets up the attraction and gives you stuff to do during the attraction. Current day, that would have to be Star Tours. The queue is enormously entertaing. It sets up the story and theme, and personally I'd like to hang around a bit longer to see the full loops of the robots and shadows.

I don't count Haunted Mansion, since once you enter the house I consider that the attraction itself.

BEST- DCA- Muppetvision 3-D. I'll go down on record and say the pre-show is more entertaining than the actual attraction. I've actually gone through the line, watched the pre-show and left rather than seeing the film on more than one occasion. :P

WORST- DISNEYLAND- Peter Pan. Long waits and nothing to look at other than the Evil Queen snickering at you waiting in line from her place above the Snow White attraction.

WORST- DCA- Mickey's Fun Wheel. Long waits, and it's just a descent into a concrete pit.

I'm just going to be redundant here.

Best: Star Tours
Indy
Roger Rabbit

Honorable Mention:
POTC
Winnie the Pooh (I find it very tranquil and pleasant to be in that environment on a sunny, clear day)
Jungle Cruise
Big Thunder

Not so good:
Dumbo
Casey Jr.
Subs

But honestly, they really aren't too terrible. They do lead to somewhere good.

[mratigan]

THE BEST EVER IS..
casey jr


did I just post that.....

[Rex Dopey24]

Pirates of the Caribbean. It's efficient, has no thematic breaks, and sets the mood for the ride.

yeah mine too. dca would be tot for me.

[MTdizzle94]

Indiana Jones
Rodger Rabbit
Star Tours
Splash Mountain

Tower of Terror
Luigi's Flying Tires
Radiator Springs Racers
Ariel's Undersea Adventure

2 come to mind:
1. Tea Cups because of it's whirl action and the crowd lanes which surround the attraction adds to the swirl effects. Then add to it the occasional Monorail passing by, a parade marching by, the screams coming from the Matterhorn, and the gaping jaws of nearby Monstro. And one is just standing still in a simple queue with all this action going on even before one enters a cup.
2. Snow White, with it's interactive apple and the dungeon scene. Simple theming which has proven to be quite effective throughout the years.

I always like the queue for GRR in DCA.

[DARTH MAUL]

The best line ( i refuse to use queue in America :P) is easily Indy and Roger Rabbit.
