Express is fast, low wait time but…when you are in the regular line, you see how much effort Universal put into making their park so damn cool!!
@ThemeTeam3 ай бұрын
Exactly! Either way it’s a win win unless the ride breaks down ahha
@Sermalla2 ай бұрын
So true. I'm not even a HP fan, but the queue for Gringots is immaculate. I think it's worth standing in the regular line for the harry potter rides. For the rest, express it.

They make the estimated wait times more than what they say and on some rides there are a lot of cool stuff to see through the lines I would not want to miss. I went with my Granddaughter without express pass and we rode more than 8 rides and left early during spring break with longer estimated wait times.
@ThemeTeam3 ай бұрын
We agree the queues are pretty cool and it’s worth waiting in line! Our experiment was only from 1pm to close so if we were riding all day, we probably would’ve gotten double the amount! We don’t think express passes are necessary to have a good time but they do seem to work in the way that they are advertised, just like we said in our final opinion at the end of the video 🤗
@Zingo19882 ай бұрын
Can say that they are worth it 100 percent. Had them for one day and rode everything in both parks but Hagrids. Did that the next day. They were $300+ for that day but worth every penny.

Thank you for acknowledging this, the wait times posted are incorrect. For Hogwarts Express specifically, it was posted as 20 minutes when we went, but it was actually an hour wait. The fact that you got on in half the time shows the pass is worth it. Hogwarts Express has the longest lines due to the slow loading process, which is why other park goers recommend people to just walk to the other park to save time... well if they don't have express and are not harry potter fans. For people out of town, Express is totally worth it, but people should stay in a premium hotel to get them. Side note: Velocicoaster is the best rollercoaster that I've been on.

@@ThemeTeam I get that, and riding single would put you in a different line altogether anyway. But having the direct comparison of couple vs couple for timing through would be really helpful, and more accurate. I have watched a lot of videos in the last month.. have not seen that direct comparison, something to think about 🙂

If you haven’t already, book at a premier resort or book express waaaay in advance. This will save you lots of money. Premier hotels give you express as a perk for staying with them and you can use it in check in day all day even if your room isn’t ready AND all day even after check out.

I haven't been to Universal in YEARS, like im 30 and haven't been since 12, lol. Im wondering if it's better for me to chill and experience the ride. You know, like as I wait, just look around the interior and all the things that were put into it. Get what I paid for. Just get there early perhaps and just chill or is it better to just get the pass?

Hard rock for 4 nights saves my family of 5 a minimum of 750 a day on the unlimited express. Some heavier days saves you even more. Sometimes unlimited passes are 300 each 1500 a day for family of 5. FREE at the premier hotels. Our rm is 550 a night plus a 35 dollar a night cot.🎉

Wow 200 per person per day to ride 8 rides with the express pass??? So makes me not want to go to Universal. At disney we were doing 20-30 a day at about 150 per person per day with the genie plus. Granted you did not do a full day...
@ThemeTeam3 ай бұрын
Genie is a good way to make the most of your trip! But that is correct, we did not do the full day as part of this experiment. We think the take away is we waited about half of the estimated wait time for stand by line with the express pass included in our stay at a premier hotel. So for anyone looking for a way to avoid the $200 per day fee, maybe try that way?
@trucbidule442 ай бұрын
Express pass is a half scam. On most rides, it will get you to skip a third, or at best half of the regular line, then you are merged back with it. Obviously you gain some time, but dont expect at all to skip the whole queue. For the price it is a shame and not a good value at all. This is only really useful for two or three really popular rides. For the most popular one, Hagrid's motorbike, it isn't available.... Globally we weren't blown away by Unisersal, it is kind of aging and way overpriced. We enjoyed much more our day at Hollywood studios.
