Being a theme park enthusiast as an adult can carry a stigma, but an upcoming dating app is looking to help those park goers come together, just like Mickey and Minnie.
The app’s called Single Riders, but you’re going to have to wait a few months before you can download it. Announced this week by the Disney content creator who goes by the name Joe the Bearded Nerd, the idea behind the app was born two years when he was stood up by a date. To console himself, the Orlando resident went to Disney World – and inspiration struck.
“It’s for all theme park enthusiasts,” he said.
Beta sign-ups will start soon, according to Joe the Bearded Nerd (who has managed to keep his real name hidden). The app itself, however, is probably not “going to happen until the end of this year, maybe early next year, based off of our current development cycle.”
The app will be only for U.S. parks initially and will only be offered in English when it launches. It’s being created, currently, by a two-person team, both of whom have full-time jobs. Joe says he has had potential investors reach out to him via TikTok, but they haven’t decided yet whether they’ll be looking to fundraise.
“We’re thinking about it, but we’re not there yet,” he says.
