ArtfulRaceHorse Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Does anyone have any tips for beating boredom in the queueline? A group of us made an in-queue game for 2 or more players: One person in your group thinks of and states the name of a ride/attraction beginning with A. The next person repeats the first person's answer, adding their own answer for a ride/attraction beginning with B. The next person repeats the first two rides/attractions said by the first two people and gives an answer beginning with C and so on. It's even more fun if you think of a ride with the longest name possible! Haven't really figured out what happens if someone can't think of one of the answers/takes too long/gives a wrong answer! Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieN Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 I always play this fun game in Nemesis Inferno's queue line called 'no more...'. But this game is really hard to explain and it always seems to involve Monty Don's dog, Nigel. So, I won't suggest that one! Cian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we went on for longer restarting! Apocalypse, Baron Acken Acken Akanen, Colossos, Duel, Enterprise, Flying Carpets over Agrabah and then we got on Stealth!

Kerfuffle Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 Why in God's name would you say Nemesis Sub-Terra rather than Nemesis?? Let alone Inferno! Appalled </3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appalled </3 It's longer than just saying 'Nemesis' so in theory is harder to remember when repeating it all back. I definitely would have gone for Nemesis Inferno if that had been my turn though.

JoshC. Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 If you're with @J.S217, ask him what his Top 10 favourite coasters are every 10 minutes. By the end of the queue, you can guarantee it'll be a completely different list to what it was at the start. If not, just find all the 4.5s in the queue.

cptnmingo Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 I hate to say it because some people despise the game but... Pokémon Go. Alton Towers, Thorpe Park, Universal Studios... All have free WiFi and almost every ride is either a Pokestop or a gym. It's the perfect environment to play if you're into that sort of thing. Alternatively I saw a couple in front of us on DBGT queue playing a 2 player version of pong on their smart phone.

stretchy Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Some games we play in the queue all mobile games that are 1) dead easy to learn, 2) short games OLO - This is either 2 or 4 players with 1 device and is basically a new version of shovehapeny. Orbital - This is 2 players with 1 device. The only thing you have control of is the angle you fire. Your plasma expends its energy and then expands till it touches another object. The idea is to box the other person in so they cant go whilst not boxing yourself in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mer Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Download the app called Heads Up! It's basically Who Am I? but you obviously hold the phone up to your forehead instead Was a great way to pass the time queueing for Crush's Coaster at the DLP meet - and other people were watching us, then asking Peaj what the app was! Or you could have a tickle fight, which seems to happen at meets every so often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeah Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Looking through old construction topics and laughing at some of the guesses is a boredom beater anywhere. (Mostly because alot of them are correct) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
