In your opinion what are some rides that should have a single rider line but don't. I think TSMM needs on as does Peter Pans Flight. What other rides do you think need them?

What rides need single rider lines?

TSMM had one but it was not always open and had problems. I would like to see Maelstrom or DINOSAUR with a single rider line. The problem with Peter Pan's Flight is it has slow loading times and a single rider line would just make things worse like what happened to Soarin' when it had one.
How does a single rider line have problems? The only attractions that should be candidates are attractions with individual separate seats. Peter Pan's Flight is a common bench seat that doesn't separate riders. Plus it is a slow, intimate experience. Riding with strangers would be rather uncomfortable. Kali River rapids could do with a single-rider line, as could Space mountain.

Problems are slow loading times...
Space Mountain had one but I don't know why it got removed.

^ When was the single rider line removed? I never remember it, and have been going since 1994. :veryconfu
I think I would like to see a single rider line in Dinosaur as well, along with The Barnstormer, POTC, Jungle Cruise, Tomorrowland Speedway, Buzz, and back in SM :lol: Note they're attractions that have a long line wait, and can accommodate more than two (well, those that have the Fastpass queue). I know they are time-consuming. But it can fill empty spaces on the attractions!

I don't see why all rides don't have them.:shrug:
The one that has NEVER made sense to me is the ToT. I don't think I've ever been in the boiler room where a CM didn't ask for a single rider.

Agree big time on Space Mountain. Like most I've gone on that ride a million times. And more often than not it seems there's always an empty seat or two. I think a single rider line could help fill in those seats some. Not sure how it would affect the overall progression of the overall line. I'd assume it would help a little.

SM, ToT, Kali, Dino, and M:S come to mind.

I think any type of thrill ride should have it. When I go with my parents they don't go on those rides. It would be helpful and less time wait for people doing these rides by themselves.

I can see SM being suitable for a single rider line because of the single seating and it wouldn't be awkward to ride alone. I like Test Tracks single rider line, it has seemed to work pretty good on my visits.

The terrible thing about that is usually a single rider will pop up to load for the next elevator and just wasn't listening 2 minutes earlier.

I think your list is a little off. Tommoroland Speedway? Its a small car that no one will want to ride in with a stanger. Same goes with Barnstormer and Buzz. Pirates and Jungle Cruise both have huge loading capacities that rarely need a single rider. Space Mountain I agree needs a single rider line, hopefulle thats part of the refurb but I doubt it.

Not all rides have them because not all rides need them. Single rider lines are needed on rides that can fit more than two or three people in a ride vehicle.

Heres your answer to when it opened: http://www.wdwmagic.com/Attractions...03-Singles-line-testing-at-Space-Mountain.htm and http://www.wdwmagic.com/Attractions/Space-Mountain/News/22Dec2003-Single-rider-line-set-to-be-made-a-permanent-addition.htm
I don't know when it got removed but maybe it was the Fastpass line :shrug:

Tower of Terror, Kali River Rapids, Dinosaur and Splash Mountain could all use single rider lines. I disagree with Space Mountain because of the fact that the trains are one person per row anyway, so riding with a party really doesn't matter that much to begin with...
Tower is the one that probably needs it the most though.
Some rides just don't need it (i.e. Omnimover rides, TSMM, most dark rides).
