What Are Single Rider Lines at Universal Orlando Resort?

Single Rider Lines are a popular feature at Universal theme parks, allowing solo visitors to bypass the regular line and experience the attractions with a shorter wait time. This system works by filling empty seats in ride vehicles, which often means guests are split up from their group but can still enjoy the ride. It’s a great way to make the most out of your time at the park, especially during busy days.

Now, with the addition of Epic Universe to the Universal Orlando Resort app, guests can view all of the rides offering Single Rider Lines, including some of the park’s biggest and most thrilling attractions. The feature is available across both high-adrenaline roller coasters and family-friendly rides, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the park without long waits.

Universal Orlando Resort’s highly anticipated Epic Universe has just added Single Rider Lines to many of its most exciting attractions, giving visitors a faster and more efficient way to experience the new park. Whether you’re a thrill-seeker or a family looking for a fun adventure, this feature makes visiting the park even more enjoyable.

Here’s a breakdown of the attractions you can enjoy with Single Rider Lines and everything you need to know about this new addition to Universal Orlando Resort.
