Universal Hollywood VIP Express: Skip Lines, Maximize Fun!

Overall we (2 adults and 2 children -17&12) had a great time. We went on a Friday so was quieter but I still paid for the express pass and paid for one hour before opening for Super Nintendo land. Now there are some great ride but for some if I had to wait more than 10 mins I would have been annoyed as they were not the best. So the express passes really helped. Also meant we had done almost all the rides by 1pm and were able to go on rides again. Best rides were the revenge of the mummy and Harry Potter forbidden journey. All other rides were movie animations and moving seats. The worst ride was the flight of the hippograff, if I had to queue I would have asked for the time back, it was literally 2 mins and only went round once. What annoyed me was 1. I paid for Super Nintendo world to go early, there is only one ride - otherwise you have to buy wristbands which is a joke. While we could pay I am sure there are many who wouldn’t not be able to afford and therefore that one hour extra was pointless 2. Lockers - now for small items it’s free however most people have bags with snack/drinks etc. so big - even my handbag was too big for the small lockers. So we had to pay £5 - I’ve been to many theme parks around the world and normally you can just leave it on the side while you ride. 3. Food provisions - for the current environment the vegetarian options were awful! In fact there were none to little! I was really disappointed. What we did buy was not the best as expected. 4. Parking - ranged from $35-120 - which is different from what is on the website. we paid for preferred parking at $60 as it was still close. Overall we had a really nice day but could have been better as the additional pardons for tourist traveling from outside USA can be alot.

WELL WORTH THE MONEY!We moved to the front on ALL THE RIDES!..MINIMAL wait times (5 to 10min at most)We enjoyed 7 different rides, tours, virtual reality experiences!

Skip the line is definitely worth it. No waiting in long queues. Got to do every ride once and made our day lots of fun

Skip the line was nice! We didn’t have to wait too long for the rides! Some rides we didn’t have much of a wait at all!

Great morning on park was able to get round quickly with skip the line pass due to heading to snowmen that day so tight schedule

There are not many rides and they are mostly simulators . Park felt very old and the studio tour was too long . Building new roller coaster so if you want to go wait till 2026 .

We managed to go on all the rides in one day. Very pleased we bought the express tickets. Great day at Universal Studios Hollywood

Obviously one of the best theme parks in the world, the roller coasters and all the 3D rides are breathtaking. A full day (or even more) of unforgettable fun, definitely try the bus ride across the movie sets and don’t give up on any attractions - they’re all worth discovering. The fast track pass is absolutely worth it.

Wow, Universal Studios Hollywood was an absolute blast! 🎉 We had the BEST time, but let me tell you, the Fast Pass Express is a MUST! 🙌 Yes, it’s about $50 more, but it’s worth every penny. 💸 The regular wait times for rides were 90-100 minutes, but with the Fast Pass, we were zooming through in about 10 minutes—5 of those were just walking! 🚶‍♂️ We got to ride EVERYTHING 2-4 times, including the super fun Super Mario ride! 🍄 The only ride with a slightly longer wait was The Simpsons, but still totally manageable. 😎 Without the Fast Pass, we wouldn’t have enjoyed the park nearly as much—trust me, it’s a game-changer! 🎮 Also, you HAVE to try the Roast Chicken! 🍗 It’s around $13-15, but it’s such a tasty and filling meal—perfect for recharging after all those rides. 😋 Universal Studios Hollywood is awesome, but the Fast Pass and that Roast Chicken made our day unforgettable! 🌟 😄

Without the fast pass, we would not have been able to enjoy all the park's activities in one day. For Europeans, especially those who love rollercoasters, the experience was limited. Hopefully, the new 'The Fast and the Furious' attraction will change this.
