Exciting updates have been made to the single rider line for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The single rider option, which began testing again on September 20, no longer bypasses key pre-show moments, allowing guests to fully experience the immersive story line of the attraction.
Previously, single riders missed out on the pre-show with Rey and BB-8, as well as the ride aboard the Intersystem Transport Ship (I-TS). Instead, they were sent directly to the Star Destroyer hangar. Now, with the latest changes, the single rider line merges with the main queue just before the briefing with Rey, meaning single riders no longer miss any part of the experience.

The single rider line debuted back in July but was paused after only a month. The current version of the single rider option is still in testing, with no final decision on its permanence. While the Single Rider path has changed, the entry is still in the same location near the attraction exit. These updates are a welcome improvement, as they preserve the integrity of the attraction’s storyline while still offering a faster option for those riding solo.
Considering that the main ride vehicle seats eight guests—two rows of four—and 16 guests board two vehicles at a time from the “jail cell,” the single rider line has the potential to ensure all vehicles are filled to capacity, resulting in lower wait times for everyone throughout the day.

As Disney continues to refine this option, fans of Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance will be pleased to see that the full experience remains intact while still benefiting from a more efficient boarding process. For now, we’ll have to wait and see whether the single rider line becomes a permanent addition, but these latest updates are a step in the right direction!
