CA Screamin offering single rider

[iceskatejen]

Apparently starting last week, CA Sceamin now offers a single rider line. I didn't realize this until a CM told me right before you go up the stairs. I didn't notice any signs at the entrance indicating this (though one might have been there) or whether you need to get a pass from the CM at the line entrance like you do on many of the other attractions that offer this, but I did see that you go through the handicapped entrance and there's a little roped off area on the platform where you get off the ride that you stand in line in.

Do you know if Tower of Terror has a single rider line? My kids are too scared to go on the ride, but my DH and I would like to go. I don't want to wait forever in line, though. Because my kids are 7 and 11, I don't think the baby swap would apply to us.

It isn't as yet, but since Disney sort of has a policy that they don't want to see kids forced on rides that they are afraid of, you might be able to get a baby swap. Yesterday, I saw a group who had been in line for Screamin' and got up to the CM at the stairs (where they mix in the FP riders) and they told him that the kid in the group decided she didn't want to ride (she was plenty tall enough), so he gave them a swap pass.

I know for Screaming that if children are old enough/tall enough to go on ride but don't want to participate that they can "walk thru" the coaster on to the exit platform.
They can sit on the floor near the stairs and wait for parents to return from their ride.
I believe they need to be over 7 yrs old to do this.

MY DS (8) and my Nephew (10) sat out Screaming this May while DH rode by himself and I rode with DS (11).

Thanks. That's good advice. The last time we went on Screamin', my 11 yr. old DS wouldn't go. We had him wait for us in a place where we could see him the whole time (except for the minute or two we were on the ride). That would make me feel a lot better if he could just go sit and wait for us. I'll make sure to ask when we go to Tower of Terror how to handle it.

All disney rides with height requirements have Baby Swap available- If the kids are tall enough they can accompany you in the queue and buildings and all rides have alternate exits near the boarding-

But be warned the CMs can't take responsibility for kids- yes they'll make sure they dont fall into the track but they can't "babysit" them- so kids need to be independant enough that they can behave themselves appropriately and safely without adult present-

Oh and the single rider line is great
