When designing queues, planners attempt to make the wait as pleasant and as simple as possible.{{citation needed|date=June 2021}}<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ledbetter |first=Jonathan |date=28 April 2013 |title=Your Wait Time From This Point Will Be . . . Practices for Designing Amusement Park Queues |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/258136392}}</ref> They employ several strategies to achieve this, including:
* Expanding the capacity of the queue, thus allowing more patrons to have a place. This can be achieved by:
** Increasing the width of the lanes within the queue
** Increasing the length of the queue, sometimes by designing the line in a zig-zag shape that holds a large number of guests in a smaller area.  This is used often at amusement parks.  Notable rides have a large area of this kind of line to hold as many people as possible in line.  Portions of the line can be sectioned off and bypassed by guests if the queue is not crowded.
* In-line entertainment can be added. This is popular at amusement parks like [[Walt Disney World]], which uses video screens and other visuals to keep people in the queue area occupied.
* Secondary queue areas for patrons with special tickets, like the [[FastPass]] system used at Disney parks, or the Q-bot as used in [[Legoland Windsor]].
