Test Track - single rider line

[mesaboy2]

Not having to wait in line twice? I’ve never done SR Or rider swap. Does SR save so much time that rider swap isn’t needed?

It sounds like there are 3 of you including DGS who “can’t ride”, which I take to mean too short. If so, then you will each have to go through SR alone while the other is with DGS—DGS can’t even enter the queue. SR is roughly as much of a time-saver as FP. So each of you can just go through SR without needing RS or FP.

Yes. But no fastpass needed...

Great! Thank you.

According to my teen son if you *really* want to go through quickly skip the whole "car building" experience.

This isn't a choice. Single rider line doesn't get the opportunity to design a car at all and for standby and FP+ its part of the preshow and there is no option to skip the design a car portion.

Single riders can, however, stop and select a pre-made design.

Oh ok - last time we rode single rider it that wasn't an option (or maybe I didn't notice?) - thanks!

My bad

I had about a 30 minute wait around 11am on a Saturday in SR.

To give you an idea, the last time we went, our party split up right before fireworks. 2 of us went to TT single rider, the rest went to Frozen. Both lines were listed at an hour but were quickly dwindling. The TT riders finished the ride, then went over and did Frozen too. we were only about 10 minutes behind the group that went straight to Frozen when we got off. 6 split 3-3 is a strange number of passengers. Groups of 4 usually want to be split up 2 and 2, not 3-1 with a separate couple. LOTS of cars end up partially filled so single riders get on pretty quickly.

Funny story - a LONG time ago my wife and I tried all week to ride the original TT. It kept breaking down, getting shut down by lightning, or the line was just plain too long. We finally did single rider and both got on, with my wife one car ahead of me. I got off and couldn't find her anywhere. The thing is on a fixed track, how could she get lost? Turns out the car she got on got a flat tire and was automatically taken back stage. they walked the group around backstage and put them on another car.

The doors at the end of the design a car room aren’t locked. If you don’t want to design a car, you can easily walk straight through the room, out the doors, and into the queue. No one is there to stop you, and CM’s in the queue don’t seem to care.

Ok different comfort levels at play here then!

Since we are not longer talking about the single rider line there is no way I would walk past everyone else in the design room patiently waiting for the doors to open.

I think the poster means that when your group enters the design room, you just walk past your design station and follow the prior group out the exit. I know when I usually enter the design room, there are usually some stragglers still exiting. Doesn't really hurt anything if you do this, but there might be some people who view it as line cutting I guess.

Thanks for clarifiying this does make a bit more sense!

I guess I would have to be toward the front of the line when we were entering to feel comfortable doing this, if at all.

I definitely wouldn't feel comfortable doing that. Designing the car is really just something to keep you entertained during the wait, kinda like the FOP pre-show. Skipping it definitely feels like line cutting to me.

I have done both. I get a laugh out of designing the car so I usually get a fast pass for Test Track. When I was there last week, the single rider line was very backed up (almost out the door) while I got in the fastpass line. I picked a couple with a wheelchair that arrived about the same time as me to see who would ride first. I ended up beating them by quite a bit. When I got out of the design room, they still had about 30-40 people in front of them while I breezed through. And this was with the ride going down briefly and a lot of people leaving the single rider line (I was near the front to be assigned a station for the design studio in the fastpss line). So I do think it can depend.
