It\u2019s been over a year since Universal\u2019s Epic Universe<\/a> debuted, and over that time, many of the park\u2019s attractions have become wildly popular\u2026and remained wildly busy.<\/p>\n

\"\"Look at the detail!<\/p>\n

Wait times for popular attractions like Mine-Cart Madness, Mario Kart: Bowser\u2019s Challenge, and Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry are often over an hour, with the park\u2019s other heavy hitters not lagging too far behind. However, there may be a way to circumvent these long waits on some attractions: Single Rider lines.<\/p>\n

Single Rider lines are exactly what the name implies: A separate queue for solo riders \u2014 or groups who don\u2019t mind being split up \u2014 from which Universal Team Members will take riders from these lines to fill out a ride vehicle.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a9Universal<\/p>\n

While Single Rider queues can make a wait shorter, there are some drawbacks. For starters, they\u2019re not always quicker than normal queues thanks to operational reasons and ride capacity. Beyond that, for attractions with intricately themed queues that form a core part of the attraction\u2019s story, guests who jump in the Single Rider queue will end up missing a large chunk of the experience and could leave the ride feeling confused as a result.<\/p>\n

However, neither of those issues is a problem for Stardust Racers. Located in Epic Universe\u2019s Celestial Park, Stardust Racers has had the most tumultuous year of any Epic Universe attractions, with a series of incidents, including the unfortunate death of a guest, leaving the coaster mired in controversy and requiring significant downtime. However, the dual-track coaster has remained popular with guests, averaging waits in the 30- to 45-minute range.<\/p>\n

Stardust Racers does offer a Single Rider line, and it doesn\u2019t run into either of the issues mentioned above. It tends to move quicker than the standard queue, and arguably more importantly, guests are missing NOTHING by using it. No heavily themed queue, deeply developed story, or necessary-to-know plot details are missed by skipping the standard line.<\/p>\n

In addition to Stardust Racers, five other epic Universe attractions \u2014 Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026and Curse of the Werewolf all currently offer Single Rider options. However, it should be noted that each of these attractions offers much more in-depth and arguably thematically necessary queue experiences.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re heading to Epic Universe solo \u2014 or with a party that doesn\u2019t mind being split up \u2014 and want to cut some line time from your day, hop in the Single Rider queue for Stardust Racers. You won\u2019t be missing much. Stay tuned to All Ears for more Universal tips.<\/p>\n
