Overview
- Cast members ran the trial on January 27 for roughly two hours in the late morning, with no formal signage and instructions given at the entrance.
- Participants confirmed they would ride separately, entered via the Lightning Lane, and then moved to a dedicated single rider path at the Omega load area.
- During the test, Lightning Lane cars on the Omega side were backfilled with single riders, while the Alpha side processed standby guests.
- On-site reporting described an approximately 12-minute single rider wait, and cast members said the system moved solo guests much faster than the usual informal approach.
- Disney has not announced any permanent change, and cast members indicated future tests may occur based on crowd levels as operations assess limited space and potential merge-point congestion.
