5. Single Rider And Rider Swap

One reason why Universal Orlando Resort is so popular is its amazing thrill rides. Unfortunately, scary rides and small children (or cowedly adults) don't mix.

Make sure that you don't miss out on all the big attractions by making the most of the single rider lines and rider swap options.

Single rider lines are great if you are planning on riding alone or your party doesn't need to sit together. Team members fill up empty seats on ride vehicles with those who are willing to sit amongst other guests. The single rider lines generally move quicker than the regular. You can also use this queue with the rest your group, so long as you are all prepared not to sit together.

Rider swap is a handy if you have children in your group that are too small to ride. Enter the queue as normal and it comes time to ride, one adult will sit in the ride swap area with the children whilst the other adults ride. Then once the ride is over the adults swap over. A handy way to make sure you all enjoy all the attractions as a family.
