Single Rider?

Hi, I'm new here. My family and I are going to CP for the first time this summer and I'm the only one who likes the thrill rides. Are there any Single Rider lines that I can take advantage of? Thanks.

There are no separate lines for single riders. Everyone waits in the same line. However, being a single rider can be advantageous. As you get close to boarding the ride, you sometimes will be called up to the front if they have an extra seat. CP does this to help keep wait times down. Just make sure you never do this on your own. Always wait until you are instructed to do so by the employees working the ride.

Keep your ears open, and be ready to flag down the ride op. CP is typically very good at filling all the trains on the "big" rides...but its usually up to you to get their attention. If you're to shy to get noticed...well, they'll miss you.

The great thing is, on a not-so-crowded day, all the lines will be up near the end of the queue, which is exactly where single riders get called out, so you should have a great day of riding ahead!

Hope you have a blast!

Its def not a bad thing to be a single rider; you can get on quicker to fill empty spots.

When there's big waits for your favourite rides, some of the two sweetest words you can listen for are "SINGLE RIDER!" ;)

(That, or "roll" and "back"...)

I hear lots of calls for single riders on Skyhawk and Dragster. Sometimes I'm tempted to ditch the rest of my party and hop on...

I ditch my family on rides... Except on TTD because if I ditched them and they got a rollback I would be pissed!

It pays off big sometimes to be a single rider. I once saved myself at least 20 minutes at maXair by being a single rider last season! As usual, I had my bright orange maXair shirt on, and had already been at the ride for a while (about 5 rides), so the crew knew I was around. I notice that there is a large group (20+ people), and then I see the person that was at load step out onto the ramp and yell for a single rider. I wait for a few seconds to make sure no one else is that is a single rider is around, because I know that the crew knows I'm back in line. But, surprisingly I happen to be the only single rider in the line. I was just at the far corner of the queue line on the midway at that point of the line, a straight view from the ramp. I ended up skipping the entire queue, so at least 20 minutes!

See, being a single rider really does pay off!

Oh, there was also a time in 2005 where I was just past the metal covering over the WT line, and once again, was the closest single rider to the station. That cut about 5 minutes.

CP now has a single rider "line" on Maverick. However, since the start of said line is the bottom of the stairs (ie <10 min left in the normal line) its not that much of a perk.

The perfect attire for the single rider!!!

During my last trip to the Point I bypassed the entire queue house while in line for Maverick by getting called up as a single rider. If CP is going to do this, I have no idea why they didnt just put in a single rider line in the first place. But anyway, being a single rider is the way to ride. I ditch my family all the time when a single rider seat opens up.

Then you could basically line jump if you have a partner with you go up and say your both single riders. :O

Thats exactly what people were doing. The employee was trying to turn away people who were trying to do this, but I saw a few groups fake all being single riders.

This is why CP should have just put in that line. That way, groups who wanted to ride separately and sooner would be able to, whereas groups who wanted to ride together and wait a bit longer would be able to as well.
