Average wait time for single rider on Indiana Jones?

[aleighc1]

I'm planning to do the Fantasmic dessert package for my husband and I, and I read on the big F! thread about needing to line up in advance for seat selection. I was thinking that this would be the perfect time for my husband to do one of the rides that I can't do since I'm pregnant. He's just not the type of person who would leave me to go on a ride alone, but if I'm just standing in a line for seat selection, I'm pretty sure I could convince him to go do at least one big ride without me! (no reason both of us should miss out!) I think he's most bummed about missing Indy- how long on average does the single rider line take? I think we'll be doing Fantasmic on a Friday night at the end of May, if that makes any difference.

Thanks!

My husband did this with the kids in 2011. Posted wait was 45 but it took over an hour. Then they had to fight through the crowds to get to the dessert seating. They missed the beginning of the show.
So I would pick up a fp for indy and plan on getting back 30 min before the show. Also you want to be able to relax and enjoy your cocoa and desserts.
Enjoy!

Single rider for Indy has never taken me more than 10 minutes, including walking through the queue. They send you through the fastpass line and then send you on ahead from there. He could conceivably ride a couple times while you're waiting for the F! seats.

10 to 15 minutes at the most, has SRL ever taken in my experience. With exception of a Friday early afternoon in December, where SLR actually took about 30 minutes. I really did not mind though, because where I was and that's the longest that it had ever taken before utilizing SRL with Indy.

From the time he left you in line at F! to walk to Indy (a couple minutes), do SR, ride the ride, exit the ride, and get back to you, probably 30 minutes round trip.

In my experience, 10 minutes might be the minimum time you would wait. As a single rider, you are sent through the exit path of ride - a lonnnnnnng walk - until you come to a point where you are stopped to the left of parties with a disabled person. You then take an elevator up, then down before getting to the loading area. At that point, you are at the mercy of the CM. There's definitely a variance in how they deal with single riders.

I did single rider too - I was sent through the exit though, not the FP line, and once I got to where you "wait" minus all the walking, I was on the ride in less than 2 minutes. That was when the posted wait time was only 30 minutes though, so I am sure it varies.

Well it really varies here we went NY and it took 30-45 minutes single rider.The ride broke for a few minutes.These other folks must have gone a Tuesday mid morning or some slower time.I would also add I am in my 50s and don't walk real fast, user times may vary as they say.

The first thing to know about Indy SR is they stop offering it when the line is long. So on a crowded day, it may not be available.

First there is the time it takes to walk through the exit. Then you have to wait for the safety video, which can be 5-10 minutes. They may take a few people from the accessible queue ahead of you, if that line is really long. Then you have to watch the safety video, or more likely, wait for the safety video to finish, then watch the safety video again. Next you follow the line from there around the corner and use the elevators to cross the track, usually with a few parties from the accessible queue. When you arrive at the loading platform, they may sort you right into a row for the ride, but more likely they'll put you in the little holding queue off to the side. In my experience, this is the most unpredictable part. First, because not all CMs remember to pull from there, or sometimes the ride is just loading too quickly for the other side of the platform to call someone over. And also, on this ride, they won't put 2 single riders in the same row, even if there are 2 seats. So you do end up waiting a little longer while some cars go out with empty seats. Then of course you have to exit Indy after the ride. I do SR about twice per month, and it can take from 20-40 minutes, depending on the timing and how crowded the exit lanes are.

I have been in the line anywhere from 10-45 minutes. At that time at night I think the wait would be closer to the lower number. Even with single rider, Indy sends a lot of empty seats through the ride due to cast members not managing the queue effectively. The wait time often times is related to how good the cast members running the attraction are at their jobs.

It can be a long wait, or it can be no wait. I have had times where I have not stopped walking until I got to a car. I have also had times where I waited 30 minutes just in that small part in the caves by the "do not pull" rope. The problem is there's really no way to know until you get into the line. The CMs out front do not have a good idea of how long the single rider line actually is.
