Single rider lines?

Post by svickersart » Mon Jun 23, 2008 10:15 am

Sorry to ask so many questions, I have only done WDW once alone and I know things have changed as far as single ride line go. So what attractions have single rider lines thses days? I figure I might as well make use of them. I know Test Track does and I have seen reference to both RRC and EE, to they have them also?

Thanks for the help
Steve

RnRC now has one. TSMM has one too, although I'm not sure I see the point of it since they tend to load faster IMHO without it.

Soarin' had one when it opened but it was determined that it was ineffective due to the high capacity of the ride vehicle rows and the lack of single seats. The single rider line is now a cast access walkway.

The single riders are:
*TSM
*EE
*TT
*R&RC

I was able to swing past about a 15 min wait when I took the single rider line. Depends at what time of day you go I suppose... I was there at about 9:45 PM.

I think it the single rider is nominally shorter on TSMM but not by enough to make much of a difference when it's a longer wait. Or at least that's what it appeared to me. The ride seats four, two by two. Since most parties when I rode were fours or sixes it was hard for them to put singles in. There would be the occassional party of 5 or 7, but since they were spread out over more than one vehicle, it was hard for the grouper to see them quickly enough to fill them in.

On thursday, with a MISERABLE grouper, singles was 20 while standby was 80. Makes me happier, although I still have not seen potato head. The grouper was sending so many empty seats.

Maybe they've got the flow going a bit better then. That's good to know since I tend to go solo into the parks.
