Expedition Everest single rider

[Anonny]

During my March visit and today, the single rider line to meet the Yeti has been posted "Not Available". Is this a forever more thing? I really am a single rider and I miss the ride!

It is sometimes closed if they don't have enough cast members working the attractions. Also, it's not open early or late.

I used it (many times) in late April. I believe it's only used when the regular line is fuller & as needed, but not gone forever.

Yes, they don't even use it for the first hour or so when the regular line is basically a walk-on too. I doubt they would get rid of it altogether.

Even if the single rider line is closed, you can still ride. You just get in the regular line with everyone else. When you get near the loading area, you simply tell them you're a party of one.

I'm a single rider too! It's unfair to close it unless the regular line is walk on.

I find just holding up one finger is works very well.

Actually, holding up fingers works very well for any group under 11. I find this generally much more effective than trying to shout over the noise. CM's don't always hear well, none I've encountered have had trouble counting fingers.

They close it when the line is doing more harm than good which is when the line is a walk on.

We used it last week several times during two days, but at one point later at night they had it closed. The line was over 20 minutes too so we skipped it, but I can say it is not altogether gone.

The posted wait of 20 minutes later in the evening was likely overstated by about 18 minutes, just FYI.

Actually we got in line at first and where we were at compared to other times, decided it probably was accurate and left. We rode 11 times in 2 days so we were okay with that

I getcha. Still, they do that toward closing time, you know, to move people along. It's a little bit of a trick, but I get that the cast members do want to go home eventually. I won't play their game though.
