What part is underlined?

sorry:)......in the long line

That is an appositive phrase. They are easy to spot because it's something in the sentence that is not really needed, structually. It can be removed, and the sentence would still be correct. The sentence could read like this and still make sense... The people couldn’t wait for a chance to ride the new roller coaster.
