Does VelociCoaster have a fast pass line?

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, the Jurassic World VelociCoaster at Universal's Islands of Adventure does utilize the Universal Express Pass system, which is Universal’s version of a "fast pass" line. While the ride initially opened in 2021 without Express access to manage high demand, it was eventually added to the roster of participating attractions. This allows guests with a valid Express Pass (either the "Unlimited" version or the "Standard" one-time-per-ride version) to bypass the main standby queue through a dedicated entrance. However, it is important to note that even with Express, wait times can occasionally reach 15–20 minutes during peak hours because of the ride's immense popularity. Additionally, VelociCoaster features a Single Rider line, which can be faster than standby but often bypasses the main immersive pre-show elements and doesn't guarantee you'll sit with your party. If you are staying at a Universal Premier Hotel (like Portofino Bay or Hard Rock), the complimentary Unlimited Express Pass included with your stay is a highly effective way to experience the Apex Predator of coasters multiple times with minimal waits.
