I, for one, would love to see the single rider on any attraction that has an odd number of seats on the ride vehicle...or an even amount of seats

Re: Single Rider
Yes, let's not stray or perform any "revisionist posting" (not naming names, Wizz). I know I would love a single rider line on BTMRR and Space Mtn.

Re: Single Rider
I would think the most popular rides like BTMRR, Space Mt., Splash Mt. and Indiana Jones would need a single rider since they're the ones that usually have the longest lines. Matterhorn goes pretty quick though BTMRR goes kinda fast too.

Re: Single Rider
Gosh, I have spent many, many minutes in the line for both BTMRR and the Matterhorn And I am fine as long as the line is outside and there is fresh air, but as soon as I am just surrounded by people to the front, rear and both sides of me, I am not a happy camperelizabethswann wrote:I would think the most popular rides like BTMRR, Space Mt., Splash Mt. and Indiana Jones would need a single rider since they're the ones that usually have the longest lines.

I always agonize over which side to choose for the Matterhorn (and Space Mountain) Then I try to pick out someone distinctive that chooses the other side to see which of us gets to the loading area first. The "choose the left side because everyone generally veers to the right" philosophy doesn't always work...

Re: Single Rider
I agree about Splash Mtn. Ever since in opened in 1992, the lines for it at WDW are still long sometimes.

Re: Single Rider
Really? Every time I go on Matterhorn, the line moves quite often since they load pretty fast. I'm always going for the Tomorrowland side (the left). I just prefer that one more than the right side. BTMRR isn't as bad as I used to think. I manage to have something to keep me occupied in line so maybe that's why it goes fast for me? I have no idea.Amy wrote:Gosh, I have spent many, many minutes in the line for both BTMRR and the Matterhorn And I am fine as long as the line is outside and there is fresh air, but as soon as I am just surrounded by people to the front, rear and both sides of me, I am not a happy camperelizabethswann wrote:I would think the most popular rides like BTMRR, Space Mt., Splash Mt. and Indiana Jones would need a single rider since they're the ones that usually have the longest lines.
