Disney World is eliminating the single rider line option at its Expedition Everest attraction starting September 21. This change follows successful testing of a new loading system that more efficiently fills ride vehicles without relying on a separate single rider queue. Previously, Cast Members would assign rows and fill gaps with single riders, but Disney shifted to pre-sorting guests into even and odd groups in the final queue section. This new method reduced wait times significantly, making the dedicated single rider line less useful for visitors. While the line disappears at Expedition Everest, it remains available at other select attractions where it still helps fill remaining seats. The removal of all single rider signage at the mountain coaster marks a permanent end to this option at that specific ride.
Key Points:
- The single rider line at Expedition Everest will be removed as of September 21st.
- Disney began experimenting with a new loading system in May that pre-sorts guests into even and odd groups.
- The new loading process successfully lowered wait times, reducing the need for a separate single rider line.
- Single rider lines will remain available at other select attractions to help fill remaining seats in ride vehicles.
