Are express passes worth it at Universal?

Results: The Express Pass allows you to experience 32 more rides within a single day compared to using the regular standby lines. It's important to note that Universal does not even have 48 rides in the main two theme parks and these average wait times would be during the busy season but you get the point!

How scary is the Hogwarts Express? We rate the Hogwarts Express one out of five Dementors in terms of fear factor. With a smooth ride and a mostly passive experience, the attraction really is designed for the whole family.

MORE DETAILS

Unlike most attractions, Hogwarts Express encourages guests to carry food and drink onto the ride. In fact, the King's Cross station even includes a snack stand in the queue featuring crisps, candies, fruit, drinks, and even beer!

Visitors to Universal's Wizarding World can take the same journey. While the trains travel in both directions (and offer two different experiences), I'd suggest mimicking the story and making the London-to-Scotland trip for your first Hogwarts Express ride.
