Is there a Single Rider Line in rise of the resistance?

No. Rise of the Resistance does not have single rider, and we don't expect it to ever have single rider.



As of early 2026, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance has finally introduced a Single Rider Line at both Disneyland (California) and Walt Disney World (Florida), but with a major catch. Unlike other attractions where the Single Rider line bypasses the entire queue, the version for Rise of the Resistance often skips the iconic "pre-show" sequences—such as the encounter with Rey and the transport ship sequence—to take you directly to the Star Destroyer hangar. This is designed solely for capacity management. While it can drastically reduce your wait time from 120 minutes down to 30 or less, you miss roughly 40% of the narrative experience that makes the ride famous. In 2026, it is highly recommended that first-time riders use the standard Standby or Lightning Lane to see the full story, while "repeat rebels" should utilize the Single Rider option to get a quick "fix" of the ride's drop and battle sequences without the long wait.

Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at Disney World originally required joining a virtual queue, but you can now more easily ride the popular attraction through waiting in a regular standby line or paying to bypass the standby line with an individual Lightning Lane selection during regular theme park hours.

Like Runaway Railway, Rise of the Resistance has trackless vehicles, but also includes other facets like animatronics, traditional moving ride vehicles, plus tons of other tech, so there are a lot of opportunities for things to break down.

The Bottom Line. We think Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run is not to be missed. While not nearly as immersive as Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, it offers you the chance to yell things like, “Never tell me the odds!” while piloting the ship. Where else can you do that?

Rise of the Resistance can be scary at times for kids, even ones who love Star Wars. The interactions with Kylo Ren, Stormtroopers, and the First Order can be a bit intimidating. The ride itself can also be too much for some children, since some areas of the ride are dark and there is even a drop.
