Use Express Pass As of February 2023, the Jurassic World VelociCoaster is now included in the Universal Express Pass. This means that if you purchase the Universal Express, you can “skip the line.” The express pass cuts wait times in half which can be very helpful if you only have one day at Islands of Adventure.

Yes, the Jurassic World VelociCoaster at Universal’s Islands of Adventure officially accepts Universal Express Pass. For its first two years of operation, the ride utilized a standard standby line and occasionally a Virtual Line to manage its immense popularity, but it was eventually added to the Express Pass roster to provide more value to hotel guests and pass holders. This allows visitors to bypass the main outdoor and indoor standby queues, though Express users still get to see the impressive "raptor paddock" pre-show elements. It is important to note that while VelociCoaster has Express, its neighbor, Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure, still does not as of 2026. Because VelociCoaster is the "Apex Predator" of the park's coasters, having Express Pass can save you anywhere from 60 to 120 minutes of waiting during peak summer or holiday seasons, making it one of the most valuable uses of the pass in the entire resort.
