Can you use express pass on VelociCoaster?

The only rides that do not have Express access in either park are Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure and Pteranodon Flyers at Universal Islands of Adventure. Jurassic World VelociCoaster is now available with Universal Express!



Yes, as of early 2026, Universal Express Pass is fully accepted for the Jurassic World VelociCoaster at Universal Islands of Adventure. For several years after its grand opening, the ride operated strictly with a standby line or a virtual queue to manage its immense popularity. However, it has now been integrated into the standard Express Pass system, allowing guests to bypass the main queue and significantly reduce their wait time. This applies to both the "Universal Express" (one-time use per ride) and "Universal Express Unlimited" passes. If you are staying at one of Universal’s "Premier" category hotels—such as Portofino Bay, Hard Rock Hotel, or Royal Pacific—this benefit is included for free with your stay. It is important to note that even with an Express Pass, all riders must pass through a mandatory metal detector and stow all loose items in the provided free lockers before entering the final boarding area. The Express Pass lane typically merges with the standby line just before the lockers, ensuring that even on the busiest 2026 summer days, you can "hunt" with the raptors with a much shorter wait than the general public.

Or is it just for the houses? Yes, but be aware of the restrictions from the website: Skip the regular lines one (1) time at all haunted houses, plus at participating rides and attractions. Don't expect to be able to use it more than one time per night for each attraction.

Results: The Express Pass allows you to experience 32 more rides within a single day compared to using the regular standby lines.

A: In our opinion, the VelociCoaster is more intense than the Hulk. It is faster and has more thrilling features overall than the Hulk ride.

Most people would say 6-7 hours is the average time needed to see the best of Universal Studios, so pretty much one full day. You could certainly spend multiple days there seeing all the theme park has to offer but 6-7 hours should cover the main sights and experiences to get through that you are interested in.

The simple answer is: Yes! it's toadally possible to fit Universal Studios Florida and Universal's Islands of Adventure into one day. What makes park hopping easy at Universal Orlando is the fact that the two parks are right next to each other.

Plus, the park is considerably more than some other waterparks like SeaWorld's Aquatica. Having shelled out that money ourselves and spending the day at the park, we are happy to say that yes, Volcano Bay is worth the money.
