Single Rider: Rides that have a single rider line allow guests to enter a typically much shorter line to get on the ride. As the name implies, you ride alone, and all members of your party will be slotted where they best fit with guests who stand in the main ride line.
NOTE: On Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure™, the single rider will always ride in the sidecar.
Child Swap: The child swap feature allows one supervising adult to stay in a separate area with the kids in their party who either don’t meet the ride requirements or don’t care to experience the attraction, while the other supervising adult rides with the rest of their party. Then each supervising adult switches places without standing in line all over again, allowing each supervising adult to experience the attraction in a convenient way.
