Originally Posted By davewasbaloo There are some good choices there. I think the best queues are similar: Star Tours (this one wins for me - all those droids!!!!) Expedition Everest Kali River Rapids It's Tough to be a Bug (beautiful) Dinosaur Tower of Terror (once inside) Haunted Mansion (once in the cemetary) Pirates of the Caribbean (though Paris is better) Buzz is ok, but dirty and peeling (love the AA though). Test Track Nemo So there are a few good ones, to be sure, but most of them are not in the MK IMHO. I think on attraction ratios though, Paris has the best queues of the lot. Disneyland is the worst in this regard with the exception of Indy, Snow White, Roger Rabbit, Buzz, and Star Tours.

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo True, though if I compare them with their Paris counterpart, they are not as good. But DAK is amazing in the queue department. Actually, I think DAK is pretty amazing full stop. I don't get all the negativity it gets, or how many people skip this gem. Epcot and DAK are my two main draws if considering WDW. In fact, DAK and Epcot are the only ones where better queues cannot be found elsewhere. DHS/MK there are equal or better queues at their sister parks.

I mean it's my favorite park, but it's pretty lacking in the queue department. As for my list: Everest(most detailed part of the ride, sadly) Dinosaur Jungle Cruise Splash Mountain Tower of Terror Toy Story Mania Great Movie Ride

Originally Posted By wahooskipper At MK I'll go Jungle and Splash. At the Studios I like the feel of GMR and of course Tower. I don't know if there is a line at Animal Kingdom that I don't like. At EPCOT...well...I guess Living Seas is ok and while you don't really have to wait that far back I love the canyon area of the Canada pavilion.

I even returned to the AA exhibition to finish it after the show.
