Single Rider Line Testing at Space Mountain in Disneyland
Disney trips are mostly exciting and fun, but all that fun does come at a price — and we’re not talking about money here. We’re talking about your time! You can spend a lot of time waiting in long lines at the parks.

Whether it’s for rides, the bathroom, food, or the bus — pack your patience! Lines are just part of the Disney Parks experience most of the time.

But, there are a lot of things you can do to save time. And, there’s a change happening in Disneyland that could save you some precious minutes!
Space Mountain Single Rider Line
According to Scott Gustin, starting today, Disneyland is testing a single rider line option for Space Mountain again! Space Mountain is definitely one of the rides with the longest wait times in the park, so anything to help cut down on that is good news.

If you’re unfamiliar with single rider lines, they’re pretty much exactly what they sound like. You go on the ride by yourself!

No — not like you have an entire ride vehicle to yourself, but you get split up in order to fill in the holes of other groups. So, don’t plan on sitting next to whoever you get in line with, because you most likely won’t.

These lines are usually MUCH shorter than the normal standby line and can save you a lot of time! One of the downsides though is that you usually won’t get to see the regular queue (which can have a lot of fun details).

But, if you’re just trying to get on Space Mountain as fast as possible, the single rider line is probably your best bet outside of reserving a Lightning Lane!

Keep in mind that this line is only testing right now, so it might not be open for the entire day. Disney will sometimes close single rider lines if they get too long.
Other Single Rider Lines at Disneyland
In case you’re looking to take advantage of the other single rider lines at Disneyland Resort, we’re here to help! You can also find single rider lines at Splash Mountain, Matterhorn Bobsleds, and Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run in Disneyland Park.

Over in Disney California Adventure park, there are single rider lines at Goofy’s Sky School, Incredicoaster, Radiator Springs Racers, Grizzly River Run, and WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure.
Keep in mind that just because these attractions have the option for single rider lines, that doesn’t mean they are always open! Just don’t count on them to be available at all times.
We also just found out that Hyperspace Mountain will be returning to Space Mountain soon, which you can read about right here. We’ll keep you updated with any other Disneyland news, so stay tuned for more!
