Which is really dumb, the single rider program at USH is always ever changingIn my experience, it's fun and games until they decide to close the single rider line.

I wish but I assume more will be in itTrue, but now with Platinum and Express people able to use the Express queue, that would relieve some of the crowds at SR. So, in theory at least, there should be fewer people in the SR lines now.
That said, like Mummy, yeah, they do like to close SR sometimes without any rhyme or reason, so it's always a gamble. But on my last few visits the in the last few months, SR has been open more than not, and additionally, more frequently they let SR just sail right through to the stairs, instead of holding just before the visor pick up.
I was, lucky for me one of the TMs was a passholder and heard about the changes and let me inFYI, saw on Twitter some platinum passholders were initially turned away from the Mario Kart Express queue, so be prepared for some light resistance until they can get everything sorted (not a good look, of course).
lol they 100% told the ride ops about this change. Humans don’t always pay attention.I was, lucky for me one of the TMs was a passholder and heard about the changes and let me in
I mean, can USH not just give TM's a piece of paper explaining the situation and just let pass members in?
They do. There is a "daily" guide print out TMs can grab that has all the info for that day (show times, characters, etc). So the AP change would be on there as well (or should be)I mean, can USH not just give TM's a piece of paper explaining the situation and just let pass members in?
When you went were you in the park at like 7:30 AM?I was with a friend from out of town whose primary goal was SNW. So we got the Early Entry for the first time. We went to the right straight after taking pics with Mario, so was in line at about 8:10... and the ride never opened. We finally left the line at about 8:50 to play some of the games, with nearly all of our Early Entry time used up for basically nothing.
However... and they never formally announced this... but because of this, if we showed our Early Entry ticket to the Express pass, they let us through. And because they didn't scan it, we rode it twice that way. So it sort of worked out, but we wouldn't have known if we hadn't approached a team member.
Having Express will be a great help to this attraction when it comes online. The lower lot definitely needs another land as that will definitely make SNW far less congested.I was in the park when the gates opened at 9am. Got down to Nintendo by 910am. This was the waittime:

90min at park open! Thankfully this ride has single rider because you couldn't pay me enough to be stuck in that upper level outdoor switchback queue in the blazing hot sun (even if it represents the game. All it's missing is fireballs).
Single rider was completely empty. So I was able to walk right on. I was tempted to go for a 2nd time, but, unpopular opinion, I'm just not a fan of this ride at all. It has great set details that get lost within the annoying AR glasses. It's not a ride I "must do" every visit.

I really dislike the cramped setup of the land because it's so difficult to get great shots of Bowser's Castle. Maybe it'd be better when it's less busy
It’s about a year into its life right? Preventive and cosmetic maintenance probably starting to finally happenSo I think I happened upon a ride vehicle that seemed to have refurbed parts. On one of my rides earlier today, the kart I went on not only had M symbols on the steering wheels that weren't faded or worn from people scanning their bands, but the wheel itself didn't feel worn at all, almost as if it were new.
Should have gotten a pic, but I think this at least means upkeep on the karts themselves is indeed possible.
probably due to parts or something, that’s basically why things at parks don’t get fixed.I wonder when this ride will go down
ROTR still has not gone down at Disneyland but.....for sure this ride needs a 2 week refurb the chain chomp at the start of the ride has not worked in months
I think it's much more likely that, to @Jerroddragon's point, they're hesitant to shut down their brand-new ride for extended refurbishment. I don't think there's any reason to believe there's parts availability issues.probably due to parts or something, that’s basically why things at parks don’t get fixed.
