Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

How would single rider work on RotR given the pre-show component? Merge would have to be before that, right? And it sounds like there is more waiting after that so all the riders would be mixed together at that point before entering the ride vehicle proper.

Have you ridden Gringotts at Universal? I assume it will be like there where the lines converge on the photo room then you go through the "elevators" then have a little bit of waiting at the station.

To further clarify, maybe they need to redefine “Single Rider” as “Solo Party,” which conveniently automatically gives it a Star Wars tie in.
If you have a people, then you are not Solo, and thus do not belong in the Solo line.

That scene was a bit of an eye roller but this joke almost justifies it

I've been on it but don't remember the details. But I feel like once you get on the elevators that everyone is mixed together. Does Gringotts have a single rider line?

If I recall it does, they all mix in before the pre show and elevators.

Gringotts single rider skips the pre show and elevators. It leads directly to the staircase corridor and has a separate staircase underneath that of the standby line.

Thanks, Cound not remember correctly. I doubt that will be the case with Resistance. I think everything will merge before the preshow and spaceship flight.

I agree with that. I wonder if they will count off the number of guests that enter the Preshow, similar to FOP.

Most likely. depending on how many cars travel as a group in the ride you'll be counted off with them then travel through pre-show, spaceship flight, star destroyer hanger and any other pre-show together in that group.

Somewhere it was said that guests will stand in the shuttle with some rails to lean on but that's all. They'll most likely count a max number of guests to enter the shuttle, but you won't be divided into groups yet. It's more like filling the stretching room, and later dividing up for the doombuggies.

I just figured the total amount of people that move together through the preshow expirence would be the same amount that would fill up a single grouping of cars. That way they know they have enough to fill each car ahead of time.

That's all possible of course, but it would create problems with making sure groups all stay together and that the single riders go with the groups they need to in order to get full vehicles.

If there are single riders and everything is counted out ahead of time to have the "perfect" number of riders in the pre-show, then they'd have to assign "boarding parties" of the exact right number for each ride vehicle so that when you get to load, the proper number/distribution goes to each vehicle. Sort of like the card/magic feather they use for Dumbo.

It's possible that the lines won't merge before a preshow but just both go through the preshow seperately. As in, multiple lines lead to multiple sections of the preshow room and exit in those same multiple lines. The Rock 'n' Roller Coaster does something along those lines.

Fair, but the point still stands - even whole parties that get in the single/solo line do not create longer standby lines. The only people they actually slow down are true solo riders... if CM's are doing their job correctly.

This was always my assumption.

You would think it makes standby quicker since less people in standby and all seats getting filled.

Single rides converge after the elevators at Gringotts. You skip that and the photos.

 

[BrianLo]

Actually you are correct, single rider makes standby shorter overall.

If CM's are doing their job.

SOLO rider would just make waits incredibly short for Solo and not anyone else... perhaps that's how it should be.

 

[PB Watermelon]

Day is coming people are going to experience pre-show and even rides themselves via phones.

The issue seems to be when a group of 6 or whatever decide to get in the Single Rider Line because it's shorter and then argue to be put together once they get to load, causing problems for the CM and disrupting the load process -- Single Rider can be more trouble than it's worth sometimes due to guest behavior.

I suspect that's why it was built for Flight of Passage but never used, that they discovered before opening that they could afford to skip that element for the attraction and it's worth skipping if the attraction doesn't call for it.

It sounds like Rise of the Resistance warrants a Single Rider Line, but I bet we'll see a change if people start abusing it. Lord knows I'd think about it if the alternative was a 5 hour line . . . but then, I wouldn't try to get my group back together with me at load.

They should put an exit right where the single rider merges. If you refuse to separate, there is the exit and you are free to leave the attraction as a group.
