Couldn't they technically make the extended queue behind the Briar Patch a single rider?
Sure. But they won’t. Disney will not build a single rider line for any ride where you must share a lap bar with a stranger. They will only do so if you have your own lap bar (Everest, the RnRC restraint) or seatbelt (Smuggler’s Run, Test Track, and, for a time, Soarin).

Is Guardians supposed to have a single rider? Rat as well?

That's assuming they use the same ride vehicles for PatF, though.

They almost certainly will and I'd be shocked if they didn't, but it's not completely out of the realm of possibility that they change them as part of the re-theme.

I'm assuming a coat of paint and that's it

Rat in Paris has a single rider line and one lap bar. Is Epcot Rat built with a single rider line, I think it is?

After going back and looking at the photos for Rat. I can confirm their is a Single Riders line. It says “Single Riders” right under the wait time.

EDIT: If they use it, that is a whole other matter entirely.

Perhaps I'm late or missed it, but is the retheme still on for WDW? Last I thought that OLC rejected the idea, so WDW would have to pay for the retheme in Tokyo. So moving forward the change would have to be approved by OLC???

Wow. My mistake! Sorry. Surely you are correct that it won’t be used until masks are gone (and WDW has a history
of building SRLs and not using them).

I honestly don't know. I've heard rumors that the retheme of Disney World's version has been cancelled, but I can't make heads or tails of which rumors I hear about the retheme I should believe and which ones I shouldn't.
