queue line

Orderly waiting arrangement

A queue line is a line of people waiting for something—the physical formation that results from queuing.

The phrase is common in theme park contexts, where queue lines snake through designated areas with ropes or barriers: The queue line for the roller coaster stretched around the building.

Outside such settings, the simpler "line" or "queue" usually suffices.
