What's your favourite hidden gem in Islands of Adventure?

The castle tour walk is now utilized by the Universal Express line. There are no more guided tours but you can walk through the regular line and just exit before the ride. That’s basically the “tour.”

I love universal Orlando in general, it’s so magical and awsome

[@ThemeSeekers]

For sure! 😍 one of our faves

Question--Let's say you're in Islands of Adventure with a Park-to-Park ticket. If you only have the Express Pass for Universal Studios Florida but you want to take the Hogwarts Express from Hogsmeade station (in Islands of Adventure), will they let you use the Express Pass? Or does it only work if you're traveling from King's Cross Station (Universal Studios Florida) to Hogsmeade (Islands of Adventure)?

[@ThemeSeekers]

That's a good question! The website just lists Hogwarts Express for both park's express passes but doesn't specify Hogsmeade or King's Cross 🚂 It might be best to ask Universal Orlando directly as we can't find the answer! They're pretty active on Twitter 🐦

@@ThemeSeekers Thanks--yeah, I check the site too before I asked. I'll hit them up and I'll actually let you know what they say

[@ThousanWhite]

@@ThemeSeekers Alright! Universal got back to me but they confirmed that the two stations of the Hogwart's Express act as their own attraction in each park. This is why you need the Park-to-Park ticket OR the 2-Park Express ticket to go between the two. In other words, if you only have the Express Pass for one park, you can only use the Hogwarts Express(TM) station Express Pass lane for THAT park.

Thanks so much for coming back to clarify! 😃 That's good to know

I remember there used to be a troll under the bridge at Mythos restaurant.. is this still there?

[@ThemeSeekers]

We'll have to look out for that on our next visit!
