r/UniversalHollywood on Reddit: Express pass, worth it?
November 10, 2024 -
Planning on going to Universal tomorrow with 4 young children (ages 4-7.) Are the express passes worth it? Or do you think the lines won’t be too crazy tomorrow (November 11.) thanks!

I used to buy normal admission until one day I visited the park later in the afternoon. A couple was leaving the park and stopped me and my girl and asked us if we wanted their express unlimited lanyards. Of course we said yes. After experiencing that day at the park I vowed to never go again without buying express passes. It can completely change your experience. Some rides like Studio Tour, Jurassic World, The Mummy, Harry Potter. The express pass can be the difference between 120min standing in line, or walking straight past hundreds of people right to the front. Sure there are probably exceptions. I’m sure season pass holders that visit more frequently have experienced days where the lines are just short or the occupancy is lower. But if you’re someone like me who visits maybe once a year, and fly there from outside Los Angeles or even out of state, I don’t think it’s worth chancing it. Standing in line for hours personally just bums me out, and in poor weather conditions, hot or cold, can drain me of my energy. I think Universal Express pass might currently be the most efficient fast pass of any theme park. It can be purchased as a version of the admission ticket, not separately from a 3rd party like Six Flags. Disney Genie plus was terrible, forcing you to be on your phone all day strategically trying to reserve rides and fill in the time between. Universal Express is simple and effective. You buy it, you use the Express lanes and go to the front. In conclusion, I say it’s worth every penny.

universal Studios Hollywood Review - Family Trip
October 1, 2024 - KEY PROS: We opted for the Universal Express Passes when buying Universal Studios Hollywood tickets. The cost of the passes fluctuate seasonally based on demand, and we got it on the worst day. We paid over $300/ticket, about 3X the standard price. We don’t do Theme Parks very often, so we decided to go big (also, I’m allergic to long lines.) Is the Universal Express Pass worth it at Universal Studios Hollywood?

Is the Express Pass worth it? (Hollywood)
As a heads up, the normal line can be worth it at least once for Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey since it allows you to see all of the Hogwarts castle, so if seeing the rooms of the castle is important to you you’ll want to do standby. More on reddit.com

July 26, 2022Can I see the whole park without Express (going on the 19th)?
Are you going by yourself? Some rides offer single rider lanes that will help cut down on wait times. Personally, I’d splurge for the express if you’re looking to ride every single ride. More on reddit.com

Advice on express pass Universal Hollywood
July 18, 2019 - Unless you've got less than four hours at the park, I would advise against Universal Express at Universal Studios Hollywood on all but the absolute busiest days.The pass will add at least $70 onto an already expensive ticket, and it may only be used one time at each attraction.

I think depends what all you’re planning to see, how much time you have and how much you wanna spend. We visited on a weekday in Oct which was medium time. We got there early and most rides took us 30mins. Some where the queue was long, we went in single rider queue (3 of us), as we didn’t mind being separate just for the ride part saving time from long queue. Remember, Pass is almost US$50/person and still had queue.. we also saw a few rough characters jumping the normal queue to express queue in between when no personnel is around this beating the purpose of it. Overall, I am glad I didn’t get the pass but we had time and still got enough done. Good luck and have fun.

I would also wait until you get there to decide. We weren’t there right at opening (about 30-45 min after) and went directly to the Wizarding World and had zero issues with lines. We were there on a Sunday, and our longest line wait was 30 min for the backlot tour. We were done with everything about 4:30 in the afternoon.
