Universal - Front of Line Pass

[VW31]

On the Universal site, it lists the front of line pass as costing - $89.75, while the general admission price is $49.75.
So you are paying an extra $40 to have front of the line privileges.
Is this really worth it?
If you get the general admission ticket ahead of time and wait until getting to the park to get the front of line pass(s), how much would it cost then?


Thanks.

I went to Universal Studios over the Christmas holidays and it was a very crowded time of the year. We got there on Sunday morning and it wasn't too bad for a couple of hours and then it got so crowded that there were hour waits, and at that time I would have gladly paid extra forty dollars for a front of the line pass. If it is a busy time of the year, to me it would be worth it. (but I hate to wait)

We just got back and it was very worth it. The line for mummy was over an hour but we rode it 4 times with less than a 5 minute wait. Most rides have at least over a half an hour wait but very, very few people had purchased the FOTL pass, so the FOTL lines were very short. It probably saved us about 6 hours of waiting in line.

The processing is also very quick. I purchased them online. You take your print-outs along and give them to the guy at the turn-stile. He lets you through and then directs you to another guy about 20 feet away who gives you your lanyards with your pass. It was very fast and easy.

I was lucky and got it as part of our package and loved it. This is the reason we stay on site at Universal Orlando - front of line with the room key. It costs more but is worth every single cent. It is a real gift if you are married to Grumpy (as I am). I would pay it.

We bought one last Nov.. I think it was worth it because at the shows, they have speical seating just for front of line passes. One of the realy popular show we walked in 2 min. before it started and had great seats. plus the actores come and talk to you after the shows. they tell you how they did alot of the stunts and stuff. If all the parks offer this. I would buy it everywere.
