Rider Switch near park close

[Purduevian]

Hello all, planning to use rider switch on my next visit and had two questions. For background my travel party will consist of both of my parents, my wife, my toddler son, and myself.

How does Rider Swap work around park close? For example, a common tip is to ride FOP right at the end of the park day. What happens if we try to use rider swap on a 45min line, but it's 30 mins before park close? By the time the group gets back out of line to watch the toddler, they wouldn't be letting people into either the standby or the LL. What if we do this 10 mins to park close? 1 min?

When we used it years ago we were told the rider swap had to be in line before closing time but I'd ask a cast member early in the day what the current procedure is so you can plan accordingly.

I'm not an expert but they do stop taking rider switch at some point. You may want to ask at the ride earlier in the day.

I think they're pretty strict about the cut off. No one can join the line after the official park closing time.
