VLOG: Not Using Express Pass at Universal Studios Japan | OSAKA TRAVEL GUIDE

[@tdrexplorer]

Would you ride The Flying Dinosaur?!

[@TravellingWithNikki]

How long was your wait in the single rider line?

[@luciafp1142]

Repeatedly

[@tdrexplorer]

TravellingWithNikki was the same as standby 50 minutes.

[@fernandaveiga8411]

People that don't go to roller coasters need to think about their lives. Seriously.

[@atro_gaming9357]

i caught in the super long Q for the flying dinosaur for about 2 hour plus of waiting time. no joke. they placed the standby time at 70 minutes . definitely the longest waiting time i ever waited for a ride.

[@Greenkai3000]

We ran to Flying Dinosaur first, then Forbidden Journey. Jaws, Spider-Man, and flight of the Hippogriff later. All during the Valentines and Cool Japan events. It can be done!

[@huiyi4551]

Greenkai3000 without express pass? Did u have to get a timed Harry Potter ticket way beforehand or do u run to flying dinosaur first?

[@vin8tan]

Love your videos, chanced upon them while researching for my first trip to Japan and Disneyland. Would have been useful to include an idea of the time after each ride so it's easier for us to plan.

[@fernandaveiga8411]

Yes, sailor moon merchandise, yes! Also another cuuuute shirt Chris, you're the best!!!

[@tdrexplorer]

Thank you! I try haha.

[@luciafp1142]

If you are a plus size person the safety seat won’t lock on the Hollywood dream and possibly Harry Potter. Expect to be stopped by cast members. I had to lie to get on and I am lucky the seat locked.

[@AnimeEpisodesDutch]

Lucia's Memory Ln Do you know with which body size they will stop you? I’m a small plus size at EU 44 and I really need to get in the harry potter rides 😭

[@luciafp1142]

TwinkeCollection(main) They mainly look at the size of your butt and thighs. I am the same size as you. I fit in the Harry Potter Hogwarts ride seat just fine. I had to aggressively pull the seat on the Hollywood dream to lock. I was very lucky there. Cast members will put you in the test seat. I know they were about safety but it was annoying.

[@AnimeEpisodesDutch]

Lucia's Memory Ln Oh boy I hope I’ll pass. I got quite big hips and thighs (genetic sadly) and I don’t want to miss the attraction 😭

[@luciafp1142]

TwinkeCollection(main) Im sure you will be fine. The Hogwarts seats are exactly the same ones as in the US parks.

[@Meron-w5p]

Oh....Thank you for coming Japan♡♡

[@tdrexplorer]

Also, I am super bummed that I missed CHRIS PRATT! He was there a few days after I was 😭😭😭

[@linnyunt]

I watched his IG Stories from that day! We were bummed too that we couldn't make it.

[@rachelk7784]

I must have missed both you and Chris Pratt by about a week lol We were there June 20th. The weather was dreadful so there were no lines and we went on Forbidden Journey 5x. :D

[@storycox2412]

Loved this video!

[@teresabruno1820]

Omg ! I love all your video's I went to Disney a couple of weeks ago . It was cool .

[@tdrexplorer]

Teresa Bruno thank you!

[@ameliat6617]

I went to USJ last week and I loved it

[@ruthmacias]

Ugh I swear Chris, just in time! Awesome, Im really really grateful for this video! I will absolutely ride flying dinosaur! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@tdrexplorer]

ruth macias thank you!

[@JoDroPro]

My wife and I really want to go! We didn’t have time during our Kansai trip in November, Thanks for the tips ^__^

[@tdrexplorer]

Get your butts there!

[@chewy277]

Hi! do i still need to get area entry time ticket? If I already have my express pass especially in SUPER NINTENDO WORLD?? Please notice me 🙏🙏🙏

[@shabinasakura3344]

sooo then without express pass you go online ticket or something i'm confuse cuz isn't it at the ticket counter has a long line can tell me how to get the ticket please

[@ForwardSpace146]

So i go to universal studios with tour but the weird was in the tour detail it show we no gonna use fast lane but when we came they let us use fastlane so i was happy i can ride all in short time but the best was harry potter

[@OkiDingo]

Great, video....we are planning a trip in the end on Nov. wish I could do the singles lines as I think the express pass system is ridiculous. Pay twice as much to skip the lines on a few rides. Unfortunately we have two kids that are too young to be separated on a ride.

[@pantheraleor605]

Hi just curious, were you there during off peak seasons? Saw that you are able to ride three famous rides before lunch without express pass, assuming the average waiting time is around an hour?

[@jasonthomas4872]

JAWS 😭😭 Miss it so much from Orlando. Some really great merch for the attraction, though!

[@kristenbrad9966]

Do you think it’s possible to get into the Wizarding world of Harry Potter without a timed entry ticket and only purchasing a one day pass into the park?

[@23tDestiny]

Do you need the express pass to enter the Wizarding world of Harry Potter? Thanks

[@YokoUmihara]

Hi, I have 2 questions. 1- how was the minions ride? I heard people say it was boring and kinda not entertaining for adults, is that true? 2- do you know the word for single riders in Japanese? Thanks in advance!

[@yinjanelle]

Hey! Just wanted to ask, is it necessary to head to central park to get the timed tickets to enter harry Potter area?

[@moofiekins4307]

You have to debate about the Hello Kitty stuff-LOL Just get it Love me some HK .. Thanks for this Video - was awesome .

[@Itstephaniie]

Why did you go to the Hello Kitty store!?!?! omg those tiger hello kitty shirts are to die for!

[@tdrexplorer]

Itstephaniie Why not? It’s a pink store, hard not to! 😂

[@linnyunt]

Just subbed! As an annual pass holder, it's great to see other USJ vlogs and see if there's anything I might've missed. I always feel like I have to apologise to character themed food too. 😂 You have to visit during Halloween! It's amazing!

[@rapmusiccritic6008]

what were the changes in the new forbidden journey ride?

[@Yanevernoinoz]

Thank you so much for posting your videos. They are so helpful. Like yourself, I wear glasses. Did you have to remove them for any of the rides?

[@tdrexplorer]

The Flying Dinosaur you have to take them off (no choice). The rest I wore them. The VR stuff you do have to take them off so it may be hard to see depending how bad your eyes are (I can see without mine).

[@Yanevernoinoz]

@@tdrexplorer Thank you for letting me know ☺

[@Dragonborn-dc4uj]

Didn’t get a picture with mamo Chan aka tuxedo mask I’m sorry about that if you have express pass you can do it

[@Yukendoit]

Next time you come to usj let me know! We should collab!

[@aaronlee7187]

In Hong Kong Duffy has a new friend her/his name is Cookie

[@ilovedads6849]

I was in that exact spot

[@kbyvillepika3741]

I don't understand something! If you come along with friends, then can you all enter the single rider line? or will it be ethical and you won't be allowed If single rider lines with friends do work then why do people ridiculously wait for hours???? I hope the channel responds to my query

[@reyporth962]

You can enter single rider line as a group, but you may not be seated together on the ride

[@ilovedads6849]

32 degrees is hot? It’s 50 degrees rn where I live

[@tobiasbarbaro3766]

32 degrees Celsius tho, If it was 50 degrees Celsius you would be burning

[@sowutnet416]

Srsly? 25 degrees is fucking hot for me.

[@frempy4426]

"It's gonna be good!" "It's gonna be hot, ugh"

[@foodgrubby5887]

Melon flavored coke zero! Sign me up.

[@tdrexplorer]

It’s a dream

[@naenae8380]

hello, i am so confused as to what tickets i need to purchase for USJ. So you went in without buying an express pass? How do you get into Harry Potter without an Express Pass? Any info is greatly appreciated.

[@Joe-me3ry]

Express pass just allows you to get beat the queues on certain rides. You can go anywhere and ride anything in USJ even if you dont have an express pass. You just have to wait much longer.

[@naenae8380]

@@Joe-me3ry I see. What about the time selection to get into Harry Potter?

[@Joe-me3ry]

@@naenae8380 time slot to go into harry potter world will only happen on days where there are too many people in the park to control overcrowding. If you happen to visit on a day where time slots are required you can just collect a ticket for your time slot at a booth labelled in the map and present it to the staff at the entrance of wizarding world to enter

[@markanthonymalasarte5084]

How was the Hotel brotha?

[@tdrexplorer]

It was great for the price. It's a tad small if you have a lot of luggage. But for a short stay, it's great imo. I love the rooftop spa.

[@fdmlshow6827]

You go to the SING On Tour
