Up until now, I had heard that Universal parks only offer a paid fast pass system unless staying at a resort (which I'm not). I just read from a reliable guide book, that there is a free fast pass system for non-resort guests in addition to a paid fast pass?
This can't be true because why would anyone pay if there was a free system in place for non-resort guests?
Please clarify.
