The UK’s Longest Theme Park Queue Right Now
Ride: HYPERIA
Theme park: THORPE PARK
Reported waiting time: 180 MINS
At the time of our latest check, HYPERIA at THORPE PARK had the longest reported queue we could identify across the UK theme parks checked, with an estimated wait of 180 MINS.
The ride has taken the top spot in our latest Queue Watch, but that could change as visitor numbers fluctuate and queues build or shorten throughout the day.
Could Another Ride Take the Top Spot?
UK theme parks are home to some hugely popular attractions, and the ride with the longest queue can change depending on the day, the weather, ride availability and how busy a park is.
Major attractions at parks such as Alton Towers Resort, Thorpe Park, Chessington World of Adventures and other UK destinations can all be contenders.
We’ll check the available queue information and update this article when we have new figures, revealing which single ride has the longest reported wait at that time.
How We Track the Longest Queue
We compare available queue-time information from UK theme parks and queue-tracking websites to identify the longest reported wait among the parks checked.
Queue times are estimates and can change quickly. Our result reflects the information available at the time of checking, rather than a guarantee of the actual wait or a complete record of every attraction in the UK.
