Express pass or single rider?

[susiesk]

Do a lot of attractions have the single rider option? Is it a faster line than the express pass line? Aslo, I know that EP is just for once on each ride that takes it, but is it a punch card or how exactly does that work?

I am going June 3rd (offisite) and Express pass is only $19.99. Does that mean it will probably be slower that day? I know from reading on here that I wouldn't buy it untill I got there and judged for myself if I needed it.

I am just figuring out if I should try and make a detailed touring plan like I am for WDW, or if I can just go with the flow and still see the majority of the attractions.

I think you can just go with the flow. If the Express Plus pass is only $19.99 for that day, lower crowds are expected. I would use the single rider lines for the attractions it's available on. Most of the bigger attractions will have a single rider line but sometimes it depends on the wait time in the standby line. If Hulk is less than 30 minutes, the single line probably won't be open...same thing at Spiderman. There is no single line for Dueling Dragons but you can sit in the row of your choosing. They will scan your EP at each attraction to make sure it can't be used again.

If the lines start to get too long for your tastes, you can purchase the EP at either park.
