Basically what station has the worst layout. I can think of some...

Viper (SFGAm)- Viper's station is just too big. Add that to no grouper and the station can become a real mess.

V2 (SFGAm)- V2 is another mess. For V2 a station wait is 15-20 mins because of it's horrible capacity. Add that to the fact that it is really loud with the train going through makes it a bad experience.

Iron Wolf- IW's was probably the worst. Instead of most stations where the queue comes in at the center of the station, some bozo decided to cram the queue in right where the front row is. The station was also really small so trying to get past the people waiting for front row was very difficult

Gemini- Now i had to problem with Gemini besides for the fact that they had the entire 3rd and 4th cars sealed off to make it "easier" for the ride ops. But unlike say American Eagle You board in the center of the station. I bet it doesn't take much for the lines to interlock and again you can barely get thorough

Riddler's Revenge- I haven't been to SFMM but i've seen pictures and in the station the line basically forms a zigzag. Turned to the right about 45 degrees.

So what about you.....

Iron Wolf's "Flash Pass" queue used to be the front row queue, which is why it makes the station seem to bad, but it never used to be this bad.

Riddler's is horrendous though..

Hmm.. probably Flight Decks. The queue is nice and themed good (well it used to be) and the nature is nice but please put in one of those conveyor things that airports have lol. I spend more time walking to the ride than you spend on the ride.

The next would be Firehawk. With the bad capacity and such its usually a packed line that moves slowly. Its not as bad in the fall/spring but mid-summer, its a terrible queue.

I would have to say Mind Eraser at Darien Lake used to be really bad.... But not its a little bit better.... They used to not have any gates for the rows where people boarded... Now in the middle of the season they installed powered gates and added the buttons to the panel etc.. But The other thing that's bad is the q-line extends into the station... usually you are dropped off into chaos in most stations... But this one you go back and forth a few times before you are dropped off into chaos...

There's a couple of coasters like that. Knoebels comes to mind here for not having gates.

The Riddler's Revenge line is pretty messed up... I thought I was going to wind up in the last row but ended up in the 1st row. If you have been to SFMM recently (after July 1st, 2011) and went on Green Lantern: First Flight, that would be a crazy line. First you wait in line in the sun, which can be somewhat bad in the summer. Then you get in the shade for the zig-zag part of the line. Then back into the sun. Then you go into a tunnel that is SUPER HUMID. Our party was drenched with stickiness when we finally got on the ride. You wind up waiting in that humid tunnel for a good 10, 20 minutes with very little air circulation.

That was the worst line ever for me...

I could care less about how the gates set up. The worse station is the ones set up by SFI for Mind Eraser. the stairway com up to the end of the station next to the lift hill. Problem is guests waiting for the front seat block off guest trying to get in to all the other seats.

The worst station for me would be Mind Eraser at Elitch Gardens, if you visited the park you would know!

how about at Dorney- where for every single train, the ride ops have to announce "please PUSH OPEN YOUR GATES"
