Universal Hollywood Front of Line

Anyone done this recently? I am going with my 18 year old daughter Friday June 17th and thinking about purchasing the front of line. Anyone know if the waits are significantly lower?

Waits are lower, but FOL is only good once per attraction. Four of the rides (Revenge of the Mummy, Jurassic Park, Transformers, Forbidden Journey) have a single rider line which is nearly as good.

Thanks. I really would like to do the VIP tour but at $379 each that is a bit pricey. The front of the line still is $104 more than a regular ticket. Maybe I will just buy the ticket and wait until we get there and see if it is needed. I am thinking Friday June 17th could be crowded with schools out. I am super spoiled by the unlimited express pass at the Orlando park when you stay on site. Too bad it isn't like that in CA.

With a FOL, how late can you get in line for a show? Is it still recommended to arrive for the show at least 10-15 minutes before the start? ( or some other amount of time?)

Ratherb@Disney - we got FOL passes last year - before HP opened. Not sure if it has changed crowd-wise, but in February, it was MOBBED the Wednesday after President's Day. We wouldn't have ridden everything without FOL. We jumped into shows with maybe just 2 minutes before starting. They have plenty of seating for FOL "priority", but for one or 2 of them, general seating was actually better - we were way high up & next to the announcer on the Special Effects one, so it was a bit irritating. You can ask them to show you what's available then choose.

Thank you for your reply! At least now I know there will be seating for us in case we are close to the show start time. We will try to get there earlier if possible.
