Don't Forget the Single Rider Line

[flfun]

Its not brought up often but everyone should be reminded of the Single Rider Line. My daughter and her friend rode the Mummy continually (which had a 30 minute wait) on a walk-on basis doing this, often sitting right beside each other and if not they were usually sitting in the same vehicle. On this same topic, I met a couple at IOA a while back with a baby and a two year old who were there primarily so the husband could experience the park. He was riding by himself and had waited up to 45 minutes on Spiderman and Hulk while she wrangled two kids because he did not know about the single rider system, i guess he missed the sign i saw on Spiderman. We had used the single rider several times that day and we walked right on to Spiderman and skipped the wait. I felt so bad for her, you could tell she was sick that they hadn't known about it...they also thought the only way to use express was to buy a pass so he hadn't used any express passes either (I was afraid to even ask about child swap). I wish they would post obvious signs throughout the parks explaining these options so more people could enjoy the parks while they're there. Not everyone does their research as well as others and are there on a whim. Thanks for listening, just venting a little.

I think to be honest the parks do have signs but a lot of guests just do not read them or in some cases they see them but don't ask what it means I mean theres a lot of info on most of the atractions in Orlando either on the net or guide books even the park guides give info

I agree - no matter how well you signpost things, some people are always just going to miss them.

I know this is a Universal thread, but once when I was in Disney getting a fastpass, a woman came up to me asking what it was I was doing and how some people had this queue all to themselves. I explained it to her and she said "oh, so you have to pay extra for those tickets then?". I told her that they were free and available to everyone and even offered to show her how to do it. She then said, "no, I don't want to take the risk - I'd rather queue" and walked away. I just stood there open mouthed!

When I was there in August, they had actually taken down the single rider line signs because they said the parks just were not busy enough, but there was a wait at Hulk of 45 minutes! Oh well, we just waited with everyone else.
