Single rider line DEBATE

[dustysky]

When we went to AK last, I was in the single rider line of EE and I saw not 1, not 2, but 3 different groups of people who walked up to the line as if they were alone but then when they got in line it was clear they were together.

Not many things anoy me at Disney (other then the people smoking ALL over when they know they are not suppose to) I am pretty easy going, however, this little issue with people in the single rider line really bugged me.

Has this been a problem in the past?
Am I alone, is this not that big a deal to most people?

I thought the single rider line just meant that you didn't care that you didn't get to ride with your friends?

 

[becka]

Well single rider to me does not mean that you are not with anyone else just that you don't mind being split up and riding by yourself.

I guess I don't see the problem with it?

My brother and I always used to get in the single rider line for TT. We never got to ride together and were told that ahead of time. I didn't realize you weren't supposed to know anyone else in line

That's exactly what it's for - filling in the spare seats that full groups can't fill. Nothing to do with being the only person in your group who wants to ride.

Any group can enter the single rider line, you just won't ride together.

Quite a few times a CM, at a ride with either a long wait or no fastpasses left, suggested we go in the Single Rider line because it had little to no wait.

Why would Disney have a special line for single people? Did you really think that was what that was for? Are you pulling our leg?

I agree with the majority. You do not have to be singe however you will not be riding with anyone in your group. You fill the empty seats left over from the regular lines. You might get in the same car at test track but in different rows.

Groups can go into the single rider line, but you just don't ride together, or people who don't care to.

Never bothered me, they always take a set amount of people through the single rider line each time around, so sometimes you even go faster through the "group" line.

That's what I thought it was too--you just rode alone, not in the group.

I've always used it with a group or not. Disney doesn't care, they just make sure we know we will not be guaranteed to be riding together. I've used it alone or with a group and honestly, I will keep doing it that way. They do it just to fill up seats, so why would they care if you are with a group or not?

I really wish they would start doing it with Soarin' (they didn't when I was there in Feb) as well as on Splash Mt (like they do at DL). I use it a ton!

A group of 50 can go in the single rider line as long as they know they'll be split up.

The purpose is to fill those single seats left on many rides after a group has been seater.

We used it once on TT, but I didn't care for it too much. DD got to sit with a mother and her kids, but DH and I got placed with other groups and we felt so out of place like we were intruding on their fun.

But I guess I'm not sure what your beef is.

 

[dustysky]

thanks to all of you for clearing up the use of single rider line for me.

 

[TheOtherVillainess]

I know that when DH and I went, we would hop in the single rider line on some things from time to time. We didn't care if we got to ride together and sometimes, hopping in the single line was fun. We rode TT once and I got seated next to a boy who was probably 8 or 9 years old and had never ridden it before. He asked if it was scary and I told him not really. THen he asked if he could hold my hand if he got scared and I was like yeah sure..why not?

I seem to attract scared people on things like that. Once, DH and I went to a haunted house. I was hanging on to DH and there was a group of like 8-10 middle school age girls hanging on to me (who I didn't know).

What better way to make that special love connection? Let's get these people together....

No problem here either. You don't have to be alone to use it, you just have to be willing to ride without your friends (or whoever you're with).

 

[auntpolly]

You don't have to be alone to use it, you just have to be willing to ride without your friends (or whoever you're with).

That's what I always assumed.

 

[lillygator]

Loev the single rider line...especially combined with "baby swap"!!

Hmm--now a debate?

I don't think there is a debate. The name of the line is for riding as a singleton--not your relationship status.

Disney is a magical place--I don't think they were trying to be that magical though.
