To liven up the board, here is an opinion thread!!
What attraction is 'worth the wait' and which is 'not worth the wait'? The question is not on based on wait time, but rather what are you willing to wait to experience? Or what do you consider a waste of time to wait for?
Now some rules:
1. The experience must require a line or a waiting/viewing area, meaning walkthrough attractions, like Sleeping Beauty Castle do not count.
2. This must be something you are willing to wait for 15, 30, 45, or even 60+ mins to experience.
3. Live Entertainment, like Fireworks or Parades can be listed.
4. This also applies to the entire resort, not just Disneyland!
5. Feel free to explain your reasons for your choices!
EDIT: I removed the rule for no walk-on rides. The focus is still not on how quick the line goes, but the actual 'wait' in line(detail, queue design, music, etc).
I'll start off!
Best Wait: Big Thunder Mountain: Very detailed queue, with amazing rockwork, which enhance the ride.
Soarin over California: The line feels like it's charged with excitement and serves as a nice overture of what is to come
Rise of the Resistance: While it's queue is longer than it should be, the overall wait works by slowly building up your anticipation. And it pays off!
Honorable Mention: Matterhorn, because its one of my favorite rides!
Worse wait: Autopia: A queue line that is larger than it should be. Too long. Add in the Safety spiel going off every 3 mins, and it gets painful very quickly.
Jungle Cruise: While it's regular line is ok, it's extra upstairs portion is insanity inducing. It also breaks the laws of space, with a seemingly neverending queue.
