Learn How to Skip Theme Park Queues in 8 Minutes!

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

For those who hate queuing as much as me, here's a little trick you might not be aware of! As always if you like this video thank you for your support, if you dislike this video thank you for your support! Edit - There isn't a single rider on The Swarm, I meant Saw, apologies!

[@Rabbitzz]

Single rider queue can be a gamble, many many times in recent years I've queued longer than the advertised main queue in the single rider queue however as a whole it can save a good chunk of time.

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

@@Rabbitzz you should never be queuing longer than main queue, that’s just bad ops OR the very unlucky chance of having an entire queueline of even numbered groups

[@SidHunt]

Me and my son went single rider on Hyperia, the normal queue was 45 minutes we waited 35 in single rider, however we got to the front of the queue and the operator batched us together on the back row, no complaints from us and saved a good 10 minutes.

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

With Hyperia having two seats per row it definitely increases that wait with so many people being in even group numbers for the most part but it saved you 10 mins and being batched together is always a nice rare bonus!

[@budgetglados8761]

Hyperia single rider helped me massively when I visited thorpe this year. Normal queue was easily 90+ mins, single rider was probably 15 mins at most

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

@@budgetglados8761 Always comes in handy!

[@liamness5155]

When me and my friend did efteling earlier this year single rider helped us so much in getting to ride all the major rides

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

It's a life saver! I'm glad you managed to enjoy your day, I absolutely love Efteling

[@CFCDanielS20]

Single Rider queues should be on every major ride. Works so well abroad I am off to Europa Park next week and they do it so efficiently

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

@@CFCDanielS20 Agreed!

[@Rabbitzz]

I was there this week it was so good, just wish silver star had one because it would be instant access but didn't have to queue long for it at all anyway.

[@CFCDanielS20]

@@Rabbitzz you don't typically wait long for anything at Europa Park even when you do your not standing still mins on end it's freeflowing.

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

@@CFCDanielS20 Their virtual queue is also superb!

[@timduncan9745]

I don't recommend single rider on wodan..its painfully slow that one..I tried it once and waited longer than main queue which was at 40 mins marked time..there was only maybe 12 in front of me in single rider too..voltron single rider on other hand is fantastic...in fact one day I was there in it early doors I got put on first train of the day front row left hand side .brilliant

[@TheOfficialSmudgy]

Nothing wrong with single rider. Met a great bloke from Toronto on Thireteen because of single rider and we just chated about Canada's wonderland the whole time and it was great.

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

It’s handy!

[@MrLProductionsOfficial]

Every rollercoaster should have single rider queues, period. I love em! It boosts efficiency and output for the coaster and makes us solo riders happy 💪😎👍

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

@@MrLProductionsOfficial It sure does!

[@stephenbache7736]

3 of us did smiler on single rider queue yesterday, 50 minutes standard queue. All 3 of us got on the same train in 11 minutes 👍

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

@@stephenbache7736 easy 💪🏻

[@CoasterJames]

Single rider queues are good. But think there are other ways where queuing can be reduced. Back in the day they use to have a ticket system for air where you would return at a specific time. They did similar on mandrill with mobile for free and I think that works well. They do similar in Europa park

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

@@CoasterJames you still have to join main queue though whereas Europa has its own virtual queue which is WAYY better

[@Itsmylittletony]

Had 30 minute wait for single rider on hyperia this weekend when standard queue was 95 minutes. The queue went up to 120 mins and still about 40 mins for single rider but it’s a lot better than 120 mins.

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

@@Itsmylittletony It’s always a lot better

[@danielward4868]

I found Dragon's Fury's old one was very quick. My recent rides on Hyperia showed me just how many groups of 2 there are! Waited almost an hour with the main queue being faster 😅

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

@@danielward4868 Always a bit more tricky when it’s trains like that, Smiler has more seats / better chances to hop on!

[@CatsnCoasters]

Yep...we're peas from the same pod. I don't queue for anything for more than 10/15 mins. Thank the coaster gods for single ride for loners like me!

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Yeah.. I just ain't doing it... I've got a park to explore not to stand around watching everyone else have fun, nope, nope, NOPE aha

[@Coaster_Matt]

I did hyperia on opening day 3 times using the single rider and was sat next to my friend all the time 😂

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

😂 lucky!

[@kkrispy2009P]

Cheers mate for sharing Sean great advice I hope your well ready 4 Halloween soon

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Ready to get spooky 👻

[@joecandish3923]

I do find single rider would be inappropriate in certain areas though like Cbeebies Land, Runway Mine Train. So the parks may have to be careful for safeguarding reasons

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

@@joecandish3923 Agreed… not sure what’s happening lately in agreeing more and more every day with your comments 😂 times a changing Joe!

Me and my kids hate queuing up when we all go to theme parks in the UK so most of the time I just buy fast track tickets

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

@@knightrider2738 don’t blame you!

[@sarahsthemeparksandattractions]

That God for fast pass and ride access ❤❤

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Amen! Fast Pass is my go to if Single Rider isn’t available at the parks I’m visiting

[@sarahsthemeparksandattractions]

@LiftHillsandThrills Don't blame you. Having ride access is heaven when you can get it. Naming no names alton towers lol. My son has autism and can't stand in queues for long. Xxx

[@joecandish3923]

How dod you find queuing at Disney World those rides get ridiculous queues especially Rise of the Resistance

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

@@joecandish3923 I’ve only visited in quiet season so my longest queue was 40 mins for Rise everything else was always 20-25 and on Mickeys Not So Scary the entirety of Magic Kingdom had a 10 minute max wait time for all rides!

[@lucascarter6466]

Where is the swarm single rider queue? ,I know of the rest but I thought the swarm would not get one due to being a wing coaster

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

There isn't a single rider on The Swarm, I meant Saw, apologies!

[@cazm2524]

I went in the single rider queue on the Smiler a few weeks ago and got really unlucky not been to a theme park for over 15 years but got back into it this year 2 times a blackpool 2 at thorpe park(one more next week) and alton towers a few weeks ago so only heard about single rider because of Hyperia anyway i was the only one that wanted to do the Smiler so used single rider the queue was right down the stairs the 2 people that i was on Oblivion with got in the main queue same time as i walked in single rider they got on 25 mins before me

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

@@cazm2524 single rider is always a good cheat code

[@ElaineDenton-mg7tp]
