Haha I couldn't imagine the anger that we would get if they started charging CMs for cast previews. The only cast previews that I've done was for the Frozen show and Luigi's Rollickin' Roadsters in DCA.How much did they charge the CMs?

Just the misery of being in the land for a short while.

Do you think they will have single rider for these rides?

Star Tours after 32 years still doesn’t officially have single rider (though there are rumors its being tested) so why would you expect a new land to open with single rider. So no there will probably be no single rider for the first year at least.

Cars opened with Single Rider, and that was the last big E Ticket added to the Resort.

That’s true, but this is a different beast of a land. My bet is no single rider, at least initially.
Edit: Another thing to think about is that both DLR and DHS versions of SW:GE are being built in a similar fashion, albeit DHS version a bit smaller...
So with single rider not really being a thing at WDW, limited to what only 3-4 attractions around the resort, it lends more credence that there will probably be no single rider for either SW:GE lands.

...I hope it doesn't get abused, but the "Smuggler's Run" ADA pods (2 of them) might be abused as a "single rider".
Note, the 2 ADA pods are NOT attached to the turntable like the other pods. Have not confirmed yet if a wheelchair rider had to transfer or not.

Star Tours Single Rider
Some of you may really like this news item . . . but the cast members we spoke with about it weren’t happy about it at all. Star Tours has added Single Rider. Unfortunately, it’s confusing and labor intensive. You enter Single Rider through the Star Trader shop at the exit of the attraction. Give it a try and let us know your thoughts.

Yep I'm aware, this is why I said rumored that its being tested.
But this is still no indication of SW:GE having single rider for its two attractions.

If there are two dedicated ADA pods then that would likely indicate no wheelchair transfer required. Otherwise why have ADA dedicated pods, just make wheelchair transfer part of the regular pods.

Single rider is best when built into the queue design from the get-go, as with RSR. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see it included in both SWGE rides. It's a win-win for everyone. It really can't be abused much when designed right: If a group's willing to split up in order to join a shorter wait, I've got no problem with that (unless it was a humongous tour group of 50 people or more). Anything that keeps vehicles from dispatching with empty seats is a good thing.

single rider works great when the cast members use it properly. I have seen cast members send complete groups of single riders into vehicles to get the line moving when In reality it should just be used to fill in empty seats. When cast members send multiple single riders to fill seats instead of standby riders just to keep the single rider line moving then it doesn't serve its purpose and makes the standby line longer. It is also not fair for those that had waited longer in line.

Not as big of an issue as Fastpass mismanagement by CMs tbh
Ismael Flores

I wish they would just get rid of the free fastpass. Sorry for those that love it but whenever I walk by Indiana Jones and Haunted Mansion and see the mess fastpass has created I wish even harder that it would disappear and just leave it to max pass. Let people pay for the service and get everyone else in line then maybe we can get the Indiana jones queue used properly and get all those guests off the walkways

Isn't it great to know that none of the Disney suits involved in any of this will *ever* know what it's like to actually wait in line with the GP for either of these attractions? The very thought must exist in their minds as some kind of horrific alternate-universe fantasy.

Unless you are looking at a line that simply points UPWARD and not flat... The only thing holding Disney back from monetizing this opening is their inability to get it done on time.
