single rider lines

[mathgeek]

I can't seem to find current info on single rider lines for WDW. Can someone tell me what attractions are currently using single rider?

Remy has the infrastructure for it as well though not in use

I sure wish there were more attractions that offered a Single Rider option. Any update on this? Are there still just 4 (including Everest) using a SR lane and not at Remy? TIA.

It’s still the same 4. Remy is not using a single rider queue currently.

Everest is closed for maintenance or the single rider line is?

The post stating EE was closed was from January, when this thread was started.

It was when that was posted. Sorry, I resurrected a 7-month old thread rather than start a new one.

Thanks for the info.

Ah gotcha.

Forums are easier when threads auto lock after 6 months of inactivity!

As a frequent solo traveler, I would love more Single rider queues
BUT
At the same time, it’s not really useful to have more, since usually those queues are full of non single riders But big groups that just want to do the ride quicker. And the result is a longer queue than the stanby one

On Tuesday, there was no single rider line. They often close it when it’s crowded, as was mentioned, groups of people will still go in the single rider line to ride faster. The had the LL lane and the standby were open only.

I was a single rider, and once I was in place, they had no problem sticking another second rider with me in seconds. There were several groups of three, and they had a few singles and handled it well (no empty seats).

Space Mountain does not have a dedicated single rider line. However, there are signs to notify a CM if you are a single rider. One time, once I got into the main queue room at SM, I was able to wave to a CM and identified myself as a single rider, and they immediately had me board seat #6 that otherwise would have gone empty.

Where is the sign? I have not notices it previously

In Space Mountain, standby and LL lines are parallel to each other until you get into the main queue room. Approximately at the location where the standby & LL lines split to the left and right, there is a sign to notify a CM if you're a single rider.

We rode single rider on Everest on the 20th last week.

One time I got a CM’s attention and they told me I had to wait through the rest of the switchbacks on the Alpha side - while they were sending rockets with empty seats. It was annoying.

My experience; Single rider works great on TT and EE. RnRC the single rider line doesn't save much time at all. SR you are filling seats so you definitely won't get to fly the ship. I have not used that one but I have heard you save lots of time in line with that one too.

I have used SR on MSR and both times pretty much walked right on, including last week. Generally yes you are an engineer, but I actually like that.

Can confirm that single rider on RnRC isn't that great. My son and I tried single rider when the wait time was 60min towards the end of the night. While the SR line itself wasn't very long, we barely moved during our wait and CMs mentioned over the speakers that SR won't have any advantage over regular rider line (and they were right). We ended up waiting 60 - 65 min. It felt like most all groups riding this attraction were in groups of 2 or 4.

There is also the problem of the big curve in the loading zone where the CM distributing people to the loading stalls can't see once they get past a certain point. And especially if they're around that curve, parties of 3 or 5 are much more likely to say 4 or 6 and gamble - often correctly - that they won't be "caught" sent a single rider and so someone gets a solo seat. I've seen it happen quite often.

For a while, Disney was trying to have a CM at the curve point whose only job was to spot those and get single riders in there it got so bad.

Well BC (before Covid) I was doing SR there before I knew that that holding pen quickly becomes a room in the underworld and we got so crowded in the SR holding pen they HAD to stop the main line and do like 3 trains of JUST single riders because the holding pen had gotten physically dangerously full. After that, I decided if I bothered with the ride, I'd do FP+ (now LL) or regular stand-by. I feel safer that way.
