It was pictured in concept art. Single rider is pretty important for a 3-wide car

Initially, Rat had 3 individual seats with dividers in between, but shortly after opening they removed the dividers and made it a front bench and a back bench.
I’m not sure if they ever get up to 4 people (1 adult and 4 children for example) in the back, but they no longer have the capacity for single rider given it’s a bench with undefined seating (like MMRR).
Alternatively, (and likely the more likely driver) too many Americans couldn’t fit between the dividers, causing delays and decreased guest satisfaction that exceeded any potential benefits from single-rider.

Every single rider gets gunner or engineer role.

Rode it Saturday morning and our vehicle was not numbered. I thought they intentionally re-made into bench seats without delineation of individual seats to accommodate all kinds of parties. Know that with young kids in the party they sometimes seat four across. On the one hand I'm all for maximizing capacity and minimizing waits. On the other, I'm longing for pandemic-era distancing / one party per row. I don't really need to be squeezed in hip to hip with a stranger. Hopefully they use some judgment. Still my favorite ride in EPCOT (after Living with the Land).
Or it might be because guests keep blanching at the seat actually meant for three and will only sit two across.

I am curious why introducing a single rider is such a bigger hassle in the US versus France. Paris has three numbers on the floor at the gates to indicate the seating. Does the Epcot one not have these numbers?

We have the numbers on the floor.

For such a hated country there are sure a lot of folks trying to get in.
Oh, yea, it’s to get in and take advantage of the stupid Americans. I get it now.

They went by how many people in you're party, I can't see what be the difference with single rider other than now they want to fill the entire mouse!

Your emoji makes me think (hope?) you’re being sarcastic. I can’t for the life of me understand why they got rid of the 3D in Paris.Now if only they could just get rid of the 3d like in Paris
I totally get why it has the 3D, buuuuut it makes me and my family so sick. We rode it in Paris without and loved it! So it’s just my selfish wish lol

I found a Reddit thread on this topic after replying to you and was surprised to learn how many people prefer the 2D version for exactly the same reason as you. While many rides make me sick, Remy isn’t one of them, which is why I (selfishly) prefer the more immersive 3D version.

They got rid of 3D in Kong at Universal because the park was too heavy on 3D movie attractions. It didn't diminish the ride.
3D has been done a lot and having done both versions of that ride in particular, I will say removing 3D is fine.
