Most rides have single rider line?

[SAGE]

Hi
Do most rides have single rider lines or is it still better to use FP?
Taking my "special needs" DS17 and I don't like the coasters!

Thanks!

When a ride offers single rider, it's IMO always faster to take it, if you don't mind riding with strangers. Not too many rides offer it, and sometimes if they do it doesn't always mean it's open. TT, and MS have it at epcot. SM at MK. EE at AK. Not sure about other rides, but I do know if it's not a thrill ride, they don't offer it.

I didn't know SM(space? splash?) mountain had a single ride line. That is great.

I was under the impression that the Space Mountain singles line was just a test, and that they had stopped doing it. Dont know for 100% sure, though.

The only rides I know of that currently have singles lines are Test Track at Epcot and Expedition Everest at the Animal Kingdom.

Mission: Space used to have a singles line, but they got rid of it when they began offering the two different versions. Soarin' was built with a singles line, but it didn't work out, so they scrapped it.

I've never seen a single rider line in use at any of the MK "mountains".

Yeah, they have that sign inside Space Mountain but they don't actually have a single riders line.

Very few rides have single rider lines, mainly because of the extra space and configuration needed. On some rides the CM loading the ride may call for a single or group of two from the regular line to fill remaining seats. More often, on rides without singles lines, single seats are left vacant.

Test Track has a singles line because it has a limited capacity (guests per hour) and isolated single seats occur often.

Another singles line (still there?): At the "ski chair lift" at Blizzard Beach.

Last August a Cast Member talked me into the using the single rider line at Test Track, instead of getting a Fast Pass because he said I would walk right on. I said thanks & off I went. However when I got in line it did not move at all. I looked ahead & saw it was just as bad as the stand by line, so after waitng 5-7 minutes I got out of line & took a Fast Pass. When I went back I walked right into the area where they tell you what will be happening during the ride & then was about a 2-3 minute wait to get into a car. So to me this single rider line did not seem that well to me.

When I was there in May, the single riders line wasn't always open. When I got there at 1 1/2 hours after opening, the CM told me "They haven't opened the single rider's line yet." Fortunately, the standby line was about 30 minutes.

I've only used the former Mission: SPACE singles line and I just kept walking from the beginning into the pre-show room. I loved it cuz waiting in a regular line when I was the only one in my group going on it seemed rediculous. However, if there were a bunch of even groups we wouldn't be going anywhere. I would always use available ones but just know that the factors are as unpredictable as the weather.
