I'd have to say Soarin' just because the lines are always long and move slow!!! There is not much to look at. I have not been there since they added the interactive stuff since I usually use fast-pass for this anyhow. Also, Test track. Sure, the queue has interesting things but it can be very loud and sometimes the line moves s----------l----------o----------w

Peter Pan--long lines, and nothing to look at!

soarin is the worst, with nothing to look at or hold your attention. plus, the passageways are so narrow you usually get kicked in the backs of your legs most of the wait.
i love space mountain, but it isnt much better when you're waiting in the slowpass line. a dark, short, and narrow hallway again with nothing to look at doesnt make for much of a wait.
i love both rides, but the waits are a killer!

Dumbo is long, usually hot and sunny, and not much payoff (unless your DS loved elephants the way mine did). It was a decent line to people watch in, but the most interminable and uncomfortable

The ride that instantly popped into my mind was Soarin'. There are others as well, but Soarin' came to me first and foremost.

I always use Fastpass for Soarin', but it sounds like the interactive "enhancements" in the standby line have not done much to improve the queue.
And as for the poster who said the Jungle Cruise, did you confuse this post with the BEST Queue for an attraction?
As for my worst queue, I wouldn't even call the line for Dumbo, Peter Pan, etc..."queues" as there is no attempt to theme those appropriately. But there is for Test Track...and considering that most of the "tests" aren't working, that goes down as the worst for me.

Not only HOT, but WET when raining, I would also add Dumbo and Test Track, those car clanging noises drive me INSANE.

True about TT. I actually forgot about that, but if I get stuck in there for any amount of time at all, I feel the head start to ache!

Dumbo. Although Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is pretty unimaginative.
Maybe all these new queue lines that are really an attraction unto themselves are spoiling us. I know one of the motivations for the original queues at Disneyland was the opportunity to interact with others while you waited in line. I've never experience much of that myself aside from the people I'm with, though.

Test Track without a doubt.

Any ride that makes you wait in the sun is also a bummer.

Waiting in line for Kali River Rapids is really torture when it is really HOT! Also Peter Pan and Soarin'

I refuse to ever stand in line for RnR standby. I will only fastpass that ride or skip it. I hate queues that zig zag and you keep seeing the same people over and over.
-
Usually when I go, the fam and I use FP sooo much to our advantage, we don't wait very long in lines. I would say they could definitely do more in regards to Stitch's Escape. It isn't until you get inside that it's good on the theming.
28 times to WDW and still going since 1984!! Most recent visit: November/December 2011...Far too long since my last visit! :'(
Personally, I believe it didn't start with a mouse. It started with a man that had one of the greatest imaginations in this world.

I think there are 2 categories:
The older rides, ones that haven't updated their queues and the newer rides that have been built or updated since Disney started making the queues such an important part of the ride experience.
Older one are BTMRR, I LOVE the ride, but many of you are right. Once you enter under the shelter, it is like any other amusement park ride line.
Newer rides - Soarin, I LOVE the ride, but in Disney new age of rides the line is long and uninteresting until you get to the pre-ride video. I understand they have a long distance to get you to go from the Land over to where there was room for the ride, but you think they could have done more with the line/queue area like they do with their other new rides.

For me its Big Thunder, Peter Pan and Soarin...except at Soarin I do a lot of people watching and have seen some amazing behavior so that can either make the wait fly or the wait can become very uncomfortable.
