0 James6 Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 One of the things for me that makes a wait bearable is if the staff on the ride are working quickly and the ride is being dispatched as close to capacity as possible.But yeah I won't be going Thorpe this summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 holtjammy16 Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 If you have a good stomach, eat your lunch in a long queue, gives you something to do.Also play eye-spy, that's what got me through my 3 hour 45 minute wait for SAW the ride :DAnother good one is allotting each person in your group a colour and see who can count the most people wearing that colour. Lol.These normally only work when your with family not friends , except the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Aliice. Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 I normally try and spot someone interesting in the queue or on the ride. Or look out for ride hosts which you recognise (:If it gets really bad (e.g. Colossus queue in July) normally go on Twitter or try and do Trev's cheesy chatup lines to random people!
