Traffic. I25 north from Denver. 3 hours from when I realized my fuck-up to the next possible exit thanks to a flatbed truck across all 3 lanes trying to remove a white suv that was somehow high centered perpendicular on the concrete median with no visible damage.

The first week of lockdowns, line for restaurant workers to get free food from a restaurant before it went bad. Three blocks long.

Ah, I remember being at the grocery store when it first started happening and they were only letting so many people in at a time, so they had turned their parking lot into a queue by flipping grocery carts over and tying police tape from cart to cart

I waited for over 12 hours to get a Wii back when it launched. It was pretty fun, but I’ve never waited like that again since.

I think it’s got to be for some ride at an amusement park, I can’t of anywhere else I’ve willingly waited in line over 3 hours for something.

I waited in line for 3 hours to ride Avatar Flight of Passage for the first time at Disney.

Was the ride everything you dreamed of

I was in Disney shortly after that opened. I had a cousin who interned there and old me the ride was amazing, but with that kind of wait and the fact that I never cared about the Avatar movies, I couldn’t be bothered. Went on the other avatar themed ride though since the line was shorter and it was pretty neat. Classic boat dark ride iirc, but the animatronics were well designed, as they generally are when you have the money Disney has.

I didn’t dislike that ride, and the animatronic was amazing, but that’s just it. I feel like Disney could have done something more with the ride.

It was pretty awesome. It was still not worth 3 hours wait. I would probably wait an hour and a half to do it again.
