Universal Crowds

[Go or go ahead]

What are the lines like at Universal in June? Are there certain attractions that are more popular we should try to see in the morning to avoid long lines?

I would like to know as well.

From experience in Orlando, SIMPSONS was definately a first thing in the morning ride. It is new in Orlando as well and the ride was a 50 minute wait one hour after park opening.

REVENGE OF THE MUMMY, JURASSIC PARK (it is June and a wet ride) and SHREK 3-D were other big hits in Orlando.

***I would like to know when to hit the STUDIO TOUR.***

What is available at the TV AUDIENCE TICKET BOOTH and HOLLYWOOD TICKET BOOTH?

My wife and I went two years ago in June and the lines weren't that bad at all. We event went on a Saturday. The longest line was for Back to the Future which is now The Simpsons ride and the line was 35 minutes long. We basically walked on to Jurassic Park and The Mummy a bunch of times. I think we waited around 10 minutes for the Mummy at one point in the day but that was it. Everything else was a minimal wait. Don't even bother with the FOTL passes, they're not worth it IMO.

That's good to know Mike - how can I find out the park's quietest days - I wondered if Saturday might not be too bad due to a lot of folks vacations starting on a Saturday (and many would be travelling) and I thought that on a weekend there would be less rush hour trffic to contend with, on the way to the park. I am unsure though how popular the park is with locals on a weekend.

Anyone have any thoughts or pearls of wisdom?

We were there on Wednesday, June 17th and the longest line was Jurassic Park (around 1pm) with a 25 minute wait.

We arrived at park opening and basically made a circle starting with the Backlot tour then Simpsons, down the escalator to do the stuff down there, then back up the escalator to finish the rest of the park. We did EVERYTHING (including shows) on the park map except Blues Brothers. The park opened at 9am and we were leaving the park around 5:30.

This is my old post, but I forgot to update how my trip went. We went on Sunday June 14, and the crowds weren't bad at all. We walked right on pretty much everything except for the scheduled events they make you wait for anyway. In fact, we were the only people in our boat on the Jurassic Park ride at around 10am. We skipped the Simpsons Ride because we don't like motion simulators, so I can't tell you anything about that. I think we got through everything else and even strolled around a bit and left by 4.

On the other hand, Disneyland on the 16th was so crowded!
