Disney Testing Single Rider Line at Remy's Ratatouille Adventure in EPCOT

Disney has started testing the single rider line at Remy's Ratatouille Adventure in EPCOT, giving visitors a chance to bypass the standard queue in a new way.

The attraction, which opened in October 2021, originally featured a single rider entrance, but the option was never officially offered as a permanent part of the queue setup.

Last week, signs of testing have emerged, including some ride vehicles being fitted with numbered seat markers. These numbered seats are likely part of efforts to streamline loading and ensure solo riders can be efficiently placed in empty seats, maximizing ride capacity.

The single rider line, if adopted long-term, could offer guests an alternative for getting on the popular ride with a potentially shorter wait time. However, there has been no official announcement from Disney about making this queue option permanent. Testing may be limited or ongoing as Disney evaluates whether it meets operational goals and improves guest flow.

Remy's Ratatouille Adventure is one of the headline attractions in EPCOT's World Showcase, offering a trackless 3D movie-based journey into the world of "Ratatouille."

Other Walt Disney World attractions also offer single rider lines, providing a similar option for guests who are comfortable riding separately from their party. Current attractions with single rider options include Test Track at EPCOT (currently closed for refurbishment), Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run at Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Expedition Everest at Disney's Animal Kingdom. Disney has also recently been testing a single rider option at Star Wars:Rise of the Resistance. It's important to note that groups entering the single rider line will not be able to ride together, as the purpose of the line is to fill in available seats on a space-available basis.

I miss the exterior version of entering the temple. The shortcut is unfortunate if it is permanent.

Yeah... I was gonna say like you..... Kong became way worse, in my opinion, without the 3D. It is so bad, especially in the tunnel room on Kong with no 3D. But to each their own, I suppose.

Yeah, the notion that they stopped doing it in 3D "because the park was too heavy on 3D movie attractions" is absurd. First of all, it was only this and Spiderman at IOA and second of all, diminishing this one by just making it 2D doesn't improve anything.

The single rider line was reportedly being tested today:

It was a cost cutting move, just like not going outside and only using one load station.

Greatly enjoyed riding in Paris on Nov 7 without the need for the 3-D.

I would happily keep 3D in remys in Orlando if they would just add some more rides to WS. Not everyone can do everything or likes everything and that’s fine, it just sucks when there isn’t much to do 🥲

For me, the experience was significantly diminished without 3D. But if most people feel otherwise, then I can understand why Disney got rid of it in Paris (though I still selfishly hope they don’t do so in Orlando).

They got rid of 3D in Kong at Universal because the park was too heavy on 3D movie attractions. It didn't diminish the ride. 3D has been done a lot and having done both versions of that ride in particular, I will say removing 3D is fine.

I found a Reddit thread on this topic after replying to you and was surprised to learn how many people prefer the 2D version for exactly the same reason as you. While many rides make me sick, Remy isn’t one of them, which is why I (selfishly) prefer the more immersive 3D version.

I totally get why it has the 3D, buuuuut it makes me and my family so sick. We rode it in Paris without and loved it! So it’s just my selfish wish lol

Your emoji makes me think (hope?) you’re being sarcastic. I can’t for the life of me understand why they got rid of the 3D in Paris.

Now if only they could just get rid of the 3d like in Paris 😭

They went by how many people in you're party, I can't see what be the difference with single rider other than now they want to fill the entire mouse! 😆
