I guess for those saps that wait on line for 300 plus minutes, that the rest of the park just is not that interesting.

TSM 380 min wait?

Yeah, if the single rider line is the difference between the cars going off full or not, I don't see the problem with the single rider line, unless that slows down loading to the point where it would affect capacity? Seems unlikely.

Summer time at WDW.
Hence, my reasoning never to go in June again!!!
All my visits have been February and September to December.

Single rider helps capacity, there is no reason to drop it. When I went during previews the single rider line didn't move as fast as some of the other ones on property but it was definitely needed for the families of 3 and 5 to fill the cars.

I am a fan of Fastpass, but it is not needed on this ride. Fastpass added to the load setup and capacity issues TSMM already has, only hinderer's daily operations.

The single rider closure may be because there are enough single riders already waiting in the queue to handle the next 1/2 hour or hour or whatever of space. If you keep adding too many single riders eventually the single rider wait will be longer than the regular stanby queue.

Nah, my mom and I were there at the same time as your boyfriend, and we asked a CM what was up... She told us that there was a problem with the FLIK cards and the wait was 90 minutes. Shortly thereafter, the ride queue was evacuated, and we didn't walk back. So I'm not sure if it reopened last night or not. :shrug:

The single rider line is still a better alternative. If say a family 4 and 3 are assigned a car, the CM has a single rider right there on his left ready to be assigned. If you did away with the single rider line, that same single rider could be behind multiple people. That person would have to climb over everyone in front of him to get to the front of line, thus slowing down load time.
As of 12:30 pm eastern time, TSM is temporarily closed for technical problems with fastpass return at 8:30 - 9:30 pm......

As cool as TSM looks, I don't think there's anything I'd wait 380 minutes for.

Single day admission is a little high just to ride one ride. Looks like a multiple day stay is in order. :ROFLOL:
Should make for some intresting schedules.
8:30 AM-Arrive at DHS
9:15 AM-Get Fastpass for TSM
9:30 AM-Go to Epcot for the day.
10:00 PM ride TSM.

Actually, when we added the single rider line at RnRC, it increased the stand-by wait by at least 15-20 mins in peak times. If you know how to group, single rider lines are almost useless.

Are you serious.
The most minutes I have seen for a wait was for EE which was 90 minutes.
I doubt this could be true though. Maybe they are having issues with the wait sign, it's only 10 days old.

I have seen the wait for EE at 170 min., and Soarin' at 190, but don't believe that TSM could have a 380 min, wait. Like some poster said before, the line just doesn't have that large of a capacity.

Wow, that's almost exactly what we did! We got a TSM Fastpass at 9:00 am for an 11:00 am ride, then walked to Epcot (for exercise), then ate lunch, then walked back to ride TSM at 11:30 am!
Having ridden this ride about 25 times now, including annual pass previews, we have noticed a few things.
1. The line goes from being out the door (with all queues open) and a 60-70 minute wait time at 11:00 am, to just about being empty at 12:00 noon. Our guess is that most of the restaurants/counter service in DHS open at 11:30 am, so all the families go pig out at this time.
2. We found 2 hidden Mickeys.
3. Single rider abuse was rampant. Teenagers would go round and round through the single rider line, and when the cast member would tell them, "One in row 4, one in row 7", the kids would would just hang back, act confused, then ride together. We saw this at least 10 times while we were there.
4. Other than RnR and ToT, there really aren't any thrill/exciting rides at DHS, so TSM will remain popular with long queue lines. :lookaroun
5. Cast members alllowed about a 20 to 1 ratio of Fastpassers to regular queue folks. Fastpass should be fast, but not a 20 to 1 ratio!
TSM is a great ride though, one of our favorites! :sohappy:

ITA.. my DH and I were saying the same thing our whole trip. We couldn't figure out why everyone was waiting in line. We never waited more than 30 mins for anything. I think the longest was to ride the Orbiter.
