Express Pass vs. Regular Line Experience

[zebsterama]

Hi everyone,

Obviously a newbie -- quick question.

Curious, when using the hotel / on-site express pass feature, are you (as the user) missing out on any pre-ride experiences? Do the line queues (EP & Regular) pass side by side, with the express line boarding being quicker - or is the set-up/experience different altogether?

Either way (yes or no) to the question above - are their any exceptions to the pre-ride experience rule?

Cheers,
Zebsterama

Yes you sometimes miss some of the themed queues.Mummy and MIB are 2 of them that are worth going thru the regular lines.There are more but cant remember

USF:
Mummy(it's highly themed, but not much else), MIB(you miss an interesting little 'show' when you enter the building), E.T.(you miss a majority of the forest which has the communicator E.T. made in the movie, and an alien that appears from E.T.'s home planet), Transformers(you won't see the Skorponok tail or All Spark shard)

IOA:
Spiderman(you won't go through the offices of the Daily Bugle), Ripsaw Falls(pretty much miss the whole line, which I've never seen-I've only done this ride once and it was with express)

If I didn't list a ride that's because you either don't miss much or you experience most of what the regular queue does.

The Simpsons line has great posters to check out, and some fun cartoons on the monitors.

You can always go thru the regular line once then do repeats in express.

In my last trip we did both, regular lines first to experience everything express and single rider were express was not an option
