Which attractions offer Universal Express access? There is still some important fine print to read through (including the fact that there are actually two different tiers of Express available at the park), so we suggest you see our complete guide to Volcano Bay’s tickets and study up before making a selection. Express Passes allow guests to walk right onto any water slide without first having to register virtually. What about Universal Express at Volcano Bay?Įxpress Passes at Volcano Bay, Universal’s water park, operate similarly as they do for the theme parks’ Virtual Line rides. Please keep in mind that we have not seen this offering recently, but it can still be offered from time to time. When the Virtual Line passes have all been distributed, no additional guests will be able to enter the queue. Please know that Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure and Pteranodon Flyers occasionally utilize the Virtual Line but do not accept Express Passes. On these attractions and experiences, your Express Pass will enable you to walk right onto the ride without having to fuss with the Virtual Line component at all. This is accomplished by checking in with the official Universal Orlando app. In these instances, guests will need to wait virtually in line instead of doing so physically.
#TICKET SPRESS INSTALL#
Once the Express Pass and standby lines have been admitted into the venue, your Express benefit is forfeited for that performance.īeginning in 2017, Universal began to install a brand-new feature called Virtual Line at some of its attractions. However, to take advantage of this, you must be in the Express queue before the audience is admitted into the theater (usually 10 to 15 minutes before showtime). If the attraction is a show, guests with Express Passes are allowed into the venue before everyone else, granting them better seats.

If the attraction is a ride, the Express Pass line is a separate, shorter queue than the standby line.

When Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure are busy, there will be a wait when using Express however, that wait will be significantly shorter than the standby line, and you will rarely wait longer than 30 minutes. This brings to light our first important point: Express Passes are not “front of the line” tickets. Universal Express Passes allow guests to skip the regular standby line – and use a special Express Pass line that has a shorter wait – at most of the attractions in Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure.įor example, let’s say the normal line for Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit is a 45-minute wait, which would more than likely place the Express Pass line at about five to 10 minutes.
