News Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

[Jayspency]

It's a pretty efficient single rider at DLP, which is why many experienced with the original version are surprised Epcot's never had one until now

There has always been the one unused entry post that's now used for the single rider. I think it was planned from the beginning?

Definitely originally planned, but they likely did the math and guests who couldn’t fit within the seats likely caused bigger capacity loss than the capacity gains from single rider.

Stickers allow for best of both worlds and the return of single rider.

A Cast Member said the singer rider line is permanent, not a test.

Permanent. Got it.

However, single rider queues are not always open all day, every day or during special events.

He means the sign.

The sign is permanent.

They may throw a canvas bag over it from time-to-time (maybe, eventually, all the time) but it'll always be there!

I miss the exterior version of entering the temple. The shortcut is unfortunate if it is permanent.

They cut this? Was the best part of the ride that was mostly “meh” for me from there. I guess now the whole experience is consistent

I've heard they had trouble keeping that section working consistently but combined with the reduced boarding, would seem intended to shave a little off the ride length to increase hourly capacity while operating with fewer vehicles.

The vehicles were being put through too much stress on the exterior (after all, the vehicles were based off of autonomous cargo movers at seaports), so it's being reworked to be flatter.

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?

When it is bench seating like this, where you are shoulder to shoulder, each family(or group) unit should have their own row. I don't want to be squished up against some nasty sweaty guy in a tank top that forgot to put his deodorant on. So if it is just my daughter and me, we should not have to be squished together with someone we don't know. This is like if they put you in a doombuggy in the Haunted Mansion with a stranger. No one should be forced to be that close to a stranger.

Wow. What did I do to offend you so much?? It was hot that day and I was in a rush that morning to make rope drop, cut a guy a break!

I'm with you, they shouldn't force a third person into a row on a ride like this unless they agree to it.

Yall would hate the lapsitting they make adults do at Europa park
