Now I am wondering if anybody knows what is the longestline built by Disney? I'm guessing IJ's or the long uphill walk to Space Mnt in DL.What is your guess? What ride is the most torturous?

    The actual show building can be seen from the Mickey and Friends tram right before you unload. If you look to your left you will see a big building camoed in palm tree drawings. I will always remember Indy being the longest I have ever waited for an attraction. I have since resolved never to wait 4 hours for a 5 min ride. Star Wars when it first came out was a 3 hour wait.

    Of course, that's just speculation.

    When DD was finally tall enough to ride back in April, she and I practically ran through the waiting area..there was NO ONE waiting, until we got to the stairs.

    That being said..the attraction itself is the sweetest reward.. it's cool and wet and full of fresh air and music. It is always worth the wait.

    At WDW I would say it is either Kilimanjaro Safaris or Expedition Everest. The longest non-themed line has to be Soarin. That sucker goes on forever. Even with Fastpass it exhausts me just walking through it.

    As for slowest moving line, I vote for Dumbo. It seems like the line is always long, there's nothing to look at in line except people going around and around, and you do a lot of standing still. Of course that's not a reason to bypass it -- gotta ride Dumbo!

    10) Test Track - Epcot

    But that's off the top of my head...

My sister and I always say "go left, go left" at the end of the ride just so we don't have to walk over the stairs! Haha.
