Express Plus Pass

[Buzz2001]

Are these tickets worth the price of $35.00? Do they allow you on every ride or just certain ones? Are they limited in quantity?

TIA!

the price varies by season and date.

you are allowed only a one time ride/attaction when you use the epp.
once you have used the epp for one ride you can repeat that ride but in the regular line.

If you can afford to stay on-site, do so. You get unlimited express pass entries for the length of your stay (even the day you check out). That alone is often worth the price of their hotels if you come during the busy season.

The description I found for the express pass is that they are limited in number and you do get to ride every ride one time, then you will have to wait in the reg line.

I would highly recommend spending a night at one of the US Hotels! The Express Pass(FOTL) Access ROCKS!

We did MUMMY 5 times in a row with barely a wait!

That's only for the express pass that you can purchase at the parks. If you have a room key, it becomes your express pass and it can be used multiple times at the same attraction with no restrictions.

OK, I totally understand how the tickets work....but what I want to know (and what was also asked above and not answered) is which rides do you get express passes for when you buy the tickets? I don't think every ride/show in the parks has one, so which ones are covered by the purchase? Thanks in advance.

 

[macraven]

if you buy the epp, it is good for every ride and attracion one time only.


if you stay on site and have fotl, it is good for unlimited rides/attractions.

I believe pteranadon flyers is the only attraction in the parks without an EP line.

 

[macraven]

mc bean is correct, i screwed up on that one.


no ex pass line at pf

Thanks for replying. It's better than I thought then, as I didn't think all the rides/attractions had EP lanes.

Are the regular lines as long as the lines at Disney during busy times? We'll be going the week of July 8. Really didn't want to spend the extra $$$. How about at park opening? Do you have a couple of hrs w/out TERRIBLE waits?
Guess it's obvious that I've never been here before/
Thanks!

tinkerbell, if you get to park at opening time, isome of the lines aren't too bad.

hrec.

Lines can get pretty long, at over 1hr+ each during busy season, specially at IA. If you've never been to Universal before, I recommend the express pass.

In my experience, Universal often underestimates the wait time. It's often longer than posted, some by 20 or more minutes!
