FastPass machine locations and single rider directions.

Does anyone know where the Fastpass locations are for each ride in both parks and any single rider information would be great too (Do you still just go to a CM and say "single rider please" for each ride that offers it or something else?) Thanks!! :smile:

That's a start! Thanks B. I guess I can get that anywhere, like from the hotel or at the park.

ok here we go

SINGLE RIDER:


Splash Mountain - to use the single rider option on this attraction, you will go through the exit. Next to the regular line at the loading area, will be a single rider line. Anytime they need 1 person to fill a log, they will pull from the single rider line. Both my husband and I used the single rider option on Splash Mountain in November, and neither of us waited for more than 5 minutes. It is a great way to enjoy the ride quickly and get back to your child. (2004 Update - The Winnie the Pooh ride and the characters from Winnie the Pooh are right by Splash Mountain. We switch off on parent riding Splash while the other took Alex on the his ride)

Indiana Jones - for this attraction, you will need to stop and see a Cast Member in the FastPass check-in area to get a single rider pass, then you will go through the exit. Once again, when a single seat is open, this time on a jeep, they will pull from the single rider line. (2004 Update - Rumor has it that it is no longer available on Indiana Jones)

Disney's California Adventure has four, soon to be five attractions that have the single rider option.

Grizzly River Run - this attraction only offers the single rider option when there is a long wait for the normal queue. To use single rider here, check with the Cast Member at the beginning of the line. This person will let you know if single rider is available at that time, and if so, give you a pass. They will then tell you how to get in line for this attraction.

Soarin' Over California - for single rider, check with the Cast Member at the entrance of the attraction for a single rider pass. Once obtained you use the FastPass entrance. Some people recommend using FastPass instead of single rider on this very popular attraction. We did use single rider on this in November, and once again neither of us waited at all, getting on the first (next) flight to Soar. In fact, two out of 3 times, we each obtained front row seating.

Maliboomer - for this attraction, you will find a special line to the left of the main queue entrance.

Tower of Terror - this attraction will offer single rider, and a special queue has been built to accommodate single riders. This attraction is currently scheduled to open in early May (2004 Update: This great ride opened in May. Single rider was not available at that time. Hopefully they will allow it in the future.)

I wrote this a while ago to answer this very question :cool:

Disneyland FastPass Network
*Autopia (daily)
*Big Thunder Mountain Railroad (Daily)
*Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters (Daily)

*Splash Mountain (Daily) - SR available

Grizzly River Run FastPass Network
*Grizzly River Run (Daily) - SR available

Now at some of the rides that do offer Single Rider Service, (this is the name the map gives it, along with a nifty logo) ask the ride's CM greeter at the front & he will give you a ticket you carry with you through a special line. However, at Splash Mountain, you can just walk up the exit & tell a CM at the loading/unloading area you are a single rider & he/she will let you into a special line off on the right. At Mulholland Madness, just go into the line farthest off to the ride (you'll see a sign for it) and the CM will notice you once you've walked all the way down it. For the rest of them, tell the greeter CM that you are a single rider & you will receive a ticket.

Also remember you can have 1 FastPass per network at any time during the day. The limitation is you must go either 2 hours or wait for your current FP's window to open, whichever comes first, before you can get another one.

It is a great way to enjoy the ride quickly and get back to your child. (2004 Update - The Winnie the Pooh ride and the characters from Winnie the Pooh are right by Splash Mountain. We switch off on parent riding Splash while the other took Alex on the his ride)

This is known as "Child Swap" & as far as I know, it's offered on every ride regardless.

Indiana Jones - for this attraction, you will need to stop and see a Cast Member in the FastPass check-in area to get a single rider pass, then you will go through the exit. Once again, when a single seat is open, this time on a jeep, they will pull from the single rider line. (2004 Update - Rumor has it that it is no longer available on Indiana Jones)

This hasn't been available for 5 months...

Grizzly River Run - this attraction only offers the single rider option when there is a long wait for the normal queue.

They will only stop you from using SR if it is very short. Anything above 5 minutes and it'll be available.

Soarin' Over California - for single rider, check with the Cast Member at the entrance of the attraction for a single rider pass. Once obtained you use the FastPass entrance. In fact, two out of 3 times, we each obtained front row seating.

You will go through the entrance, but then at the merge point you will be directed to a special line on the side for either theatre. Also, front row seating is by no means guaranteed. You will seat where you are instructed to sit, which could easily be gate C row 3.

Tower of Terror - this attraction will offer single rider, and a special queue has been built to accommodate single riders.

False. Tower has never & most likely never will have Single Rider Service.

You get a Single Rider Pass ("This pass allows one (1) surfer to proceed through the single rider line") from the Attraction's greeter at the Standby entrance. Then, proceed back up the boardwalk, to the Screamin' main-side exit. Enter there, and the Single Rider queue is on your right.

^ Actually, you have to walk under the first sign all the way to back, past all the seating for Redd Rockett's. Walk all the way down until you can go no further. Once there you will see the bank of FastPass machines on your right and the entrance to the seperated lines w/ another set of signs that display stand-by wait time & FastPass return time on your left. Now, there is a little queue set up in case there's a line for Space Mtn FastPass & that may or may not be filled when you go, so just be prepared for that. There should be a CM greeter at the very first sign next to the new Stitch mosaic, so if you get there & you're still a bit lost, just ask him. :smile:

1FP per network? So is that to say that you can have an Autopia FP *and* a Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin FP at the same time? Sorry if that's a dumb question, but I just wanted clarification (I'm uh...reading comprehension challenged? Yeah, something like that...). I was always under the assumption that you could only have one Fast Pass. Period.

I totally agree with Barfownz. That's what my brother and I did. The return time is usually a few hours away so go ride other rides, then after 2 hours get another fastpass for Indy or whatever. When you go back to ride Space Mountain, get another FP for it. We were able to ride Space Mountain 6 times over 3 days this way without the stand-by line-up wait.

Everyone has told me that! But I also heard from a guy that was standing in the SM line behind me that the Fastpass line isn't all that efficient. Like, you don't really get that far ahead of the stand-by line. Last time I went to DLR, I got caught in traffic so they weren't doing FP anymore. So, I don't know if that guy was right or not!

Oh, I have another question about FP. I haven't been to Toontown in almost a year now. Would you say it's worth getting a FP for Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin? If I remember correctly, you just walk right into the building with FP, but there usually isn't a long line outside of the building. So, I wasn't sure if it's worth getting FP for or what. Thanks in advance!

That guy behind you stands in lines all day then. With a fastpass there is no standby line. You get right inside the building itself. It took 15 minutes once inside to ride the ride. Grab a fast pass first thing and another later on. You won't regret it. But if you like standing in lineups when you could be riding and doing other things with your DL time then don't lol. It's up to you. ;) Have fun either way!
