? Re: Express Queues & Single Rider Line @ IOA

[GeminiMom]

This question really only pertains to two rides...Hulk & DD. Since DH is not a fan of inversion roller coasters (that's putting it mildly!), he'll be sitting out on these two so it'll just be myself, & 10 yr old DS & DD. I'm just wondering if the Express & single rider lines queue in the same line so that I can keep an eye on DS & DD. It's not important that we all ride in the same car/trip as each other, I just would like to have them within eyesight of me. I'll be the single rider & they'll ride together. We'll have FOTL access for 4 days for our RP stay in June. I assume there's only one exit off the ride, so DH will be waiting there for them to get off. Also, if I use the single rider line, will I not "technically" be using FOTL? Yikes, I hope this makes sense to someone.

Hulk rarely has a single rider lane, and when it does, it mixes with the express until near the end, where they get separated.

DD does not have a single riders line. They tried to, but it didn't work well.

Also, all attractions, except BTTF, have one final exit. As for utilizing single riders, sometimes that is shorter than the Express line. But sometimes your FOTL will be faster than single riders...

So DM, you're saying that I'll be able to wait in express line most of the way with the kids & then still be able to ride as a single? Will they try to find another single rider for me or do they let you go on by yourself? Thanks for your help!

Both Hulk and DD are four seats across and the three of you can sit together. When you line up for both of these coasters you line up together until you get to the ride and then the line divides up into smaller lines for each row. You will all be seated together in the same row. Unless however you want to be in different row. In that case, you will each divide into the row you want. You will still be able to see the kids until you ride or they ride. The line for front row is usually much longer than the lines for the other rows.

Thanks you guys, that's exactly what I needed to know!

Doctor Doom has a singles riders line but you have to go thru the arcade and up the stairs to get to it. At least that is what I recall. Any one have anything to add.
