Indy: What's quicker: FP or Single rider?

[meggles]

We will be there next week and have kids that either won't ride or are too small to ride Indy. Which is quicker: getting a FP or just doing single rider? And can we use the rider swap option with both?

Thanks!

Single rider is very hit or miss. We are here today and the park is packed but they're not doing single rider on Indy

I would definitely choose FP over Single Rider.

Honestly single rider is best for RSR and Matterhorn in our experience and we FP the rest as applicable.

Agree that single rider on Indy is hit or miss. I prefer to FP where possible. SR is not always operating anyway.

Single rider has always been best for me (and I ride it multiple times/day/trip). The only issue is that it is not always available.
Fast pass gets you into the temple pretty quick, but then it feeds into the regular line throughout the temple and onto the ride.

Agree that Single Rider is hit or miss. It sometimes seems that the CM’s just ignore the SR people as there are lots of cars going out with an empty seat even when we are standing right there. Plus, it really seems they keep us waiting for a very long time to even get to the loading zone – which is completely empty of single riders. Still, if we don’t have time to pull fast passes or want to use them on something else it is a nice option if they are allowing SR’s – which they don’t always do.

I would like to add Goofy's Sky School to your list. DS(7) will ride that one over and over and over again...just keeps getting back in the SR line and never waits.

One day the other week the srl was closed for Indy; the cm said the wait had gotten longer than the stand-by wait.
