Universal Express Plus Passes

If you do not like standing in line, then it might be worth considering buying an Express Plus Pass when visiting Universal Studios.

Universal used to operate a free Universal Express® system (similar to Disney's FASTPASS®) ticket but it is no longer available. You can however purchase a Universal Express Plus Pass which allows you to join a shorter line at all the major attractions without the need to get an additional ticket and at whatever time of day you choose.

Universal reckon you will never wait more than 15 minutes to ride any attraction.

The only restriction is that you can only ride each attraction once during the day using your Express Plus Pass. If you want to ride an attraction more than once, you will have to join the regular line after using your Express Plus Pass.

Universal Studios Florida® operate two theme parks in Orlando, Universal Studios and the new roller-coaster park, Islands of Adventure plus the music and entertainment venue, Universal CityWalk®.

See the sidebar for a complete list of Universal ticket types including annual passes, Blue Man Group, VIP tours, Florida residents tickets and special multi-day holiday tickets for UK visitors.

If you are staying at one of the Universal Resort Hotels then you will receive a complimentary Express Plus Pass.

Universal 2007 Express Plus Pass prices

These prices are the standard ticket prices you would expect to pay at the gate (unless stated otherwise). All prices are subject to change and you should check with Universal Studios for the latest prices.

Note that the price you pay depends on the date and there is no discount for children. Some days are more expensive than others and once the allocated number of tickets are sold for a particular day, you will not be able to purchase an Express Plus Pass for that date so you should purchase them in advance.
