83 Days Before Opening, Universal Drops Major Announcement for Epic Universe

Just 83 days before the latest and newest Universal Orlando Resort theme park opens to the general public, Epic Universe has just made a critical announcement.

What is the Single Rider Line at Universal?

The Single Rider Line is a special queue designed to help guests experience more attractions in less time. Ideal for individuals who don’t mind riding solo, the Single Rider Line allows guests to fill in empty seats on ride vehicles, bypassing the regular queue. While it offers a faster wait time, it’s important to note that parties will be split up during the ride experience.

Epic Universe, Universal’s newest addition to the Orlando Resort, has added Single Rider Lines to several of its thrilling attractions, offering guests more flexibility to enjoy the park’s best offerings.

If you’re a thrill-seeker, you’ll be excited to know that all four roller coasters at Epic Universe will feature Single Rider Lines. These include some of the most anticipated and exhilarating attractions at the new park.

When browsing the attraction pages for these coasters in the Universal Orlando Resort app, guests will notice a “Single Rider Line” section under the “Details” tab. A small notice will also remind guests that, “parties will be split,” meaning that groups will be separated when using the Single Rider Line.

Which Rides Will Have Single Rider at Epic Universe?

1. Stardust Racers – Celestial Park

The first of the roller coasters offering the Single Rider Line is Stardust Racers, located in the park’s Celestial Park area. This dual-racing coaster offers guests a thrilling journey as they “climb aboard a comet and race across the stars.”

Reaching speeds of up to 62 miles per hour and heights of 133 feet, Stardust Racers promises an out-of-this-world experience. The Single Rider Line will allow those who don’t mind riding solo to enjoy this cosmic adventure with shorter wait times.

2. Hiccup’s Winged Gliders – How to Train Your Dragon: Isle of Berk

Next up is Hiccup’s Winged Gliders in the How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk area. This family-friendly coaster invites guests to “fly like a dragon” alongside beloved characters from the How to Train Your Dragon series. With its exciting twists and turns, Hiccup’s Winged Gliders is a great option for families. The Single Rider Line will make it easier for solo riders to experience this exhilarating flight without having to wait long in line.

3. Mine-Cart Madness – Super Nintendo World

For fans of Donkey Kong, the Mine-Cart Madness ride in Super Nintendo World brings an exciting adventure where guests are tasked with helping Donkey Kong protect the Golden Banana. With a unique track design that features carts seemingly jumping over missing pieces of track, this family coaster offers plenty of thrills. The addition of the Single Rider Line will help those visiting solo get in and out of the attraction faster.

4. Curse of the Werewolf – Dark Universe

The final coaster to offer the Single Rider Line at Epic Universe is Curse of the Werewolf in the Dark Universe land. In this Universal Monsters-themed attraction, guests will “spin and weave through the woods” as they attempt to escape a pack of menacing werewolves. This coaster brings a mix of classic monster horror and high-speed thrills, and with the Single Rider Line, guests can bypass longer waits and get straight to the action.

Other Epic Universe Attractions with Single Rider Lines

In addition to the four roller coasters, several other attractions at Epic Universe will feature Single Rider Lines, making it easier for guests to experience even more of the park in less time. These attractions include:

• Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry: This immersive attraction will take guests into the heart of the Harry Potter universe, where they’ll battle dark forces in an action-packed adventure. The Single Rider Line will be a great way to experience this magical journey without wasting time in the regular queue.

• Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge: One of the most iconic attractions at Super Nintendo World, Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge puts guests behind the wheel in a thrilling race through the Mushroom Kingdom. The Single Rider Line allows those who want to skip the wait to race right in.

• Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment: This exciting new attraction will put guests face-to-face with Universal’s legendary monster, Frankenstein. The Single Rider Line will make it easier for those eager to experience the thrills of this attraction to enjoy it quickly.

Epic Universe Is Set To Change Universal Forever

The Single Rider Line is an excellent way to maximize your time at Epic Universe, especially during busy periods when regular lines can be long. Solo visitors or groups who are okay with being split up can enjoy quicker access to rides and attractions, giving them more opportunities to explore the park and its many wonders.

While the Single Rider Line offers a quicker way to get on rides, keep in mind that it’s best for those who are comfortable riding solo. Groups and families who prefer to stay together may want to opt for the regular queue.

With the addition of Single Rider Lines at Epic Universe, Universal Orlando Resort continues to raise the bar on guest experience. Whether you’re racing across the stars on Stardust Racers or escaping werewolves on Curse of the Werewolf, the ability to use the Single Rider Line gives guests more freedom to experience the park’s top attractions with less waiting.
