Rider Switch and Single Rider
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster offers both the Rider Switch and Single Rider options. The Rider Switch allows guests with small children to take turns riding bigger attractions, while another person stays with the child. The Single Rider Line, on the other hand, allows guests to ride alone, bypassing the Standby Line.
