Universal Studios - what's open early?

[meryll83]

So Universal Studios seems to open at 8am throughout October.
However, from previous visits, I seem to recall not all rides actually open at the same time, some an hour or so later than the main park opening time, which resulted in some unnecessary walking backwards and forwards for us as we only found out once we got to a location that wasn't yet open. Is this still the case?

Does anyone have a list of which rides open at what time?

Thanks for your help!

Check your park map for other times for things like Horror Makeup Show. They will vary.

Thanks for this, but I'm not an annual passholder, so not getting in an hour early, just at normal time...
(although I am staying at the HRH, so maybe I do get in an hour early at 7am?)

Does that mean everything should be open from 8am at official opening time?
I feel like in the past certain rides still haven't been open for another hour or so...

If you are staying at HRH, then yes you do get early admission.

Occasionally some things don't open right at regular opening time. You have to check the park map because those things change depending on expected attendance.

Thanks for the advice!
