Is it worth it to get fast passes for 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!

If there is a short wait, don't use it. If you have an Express Pass, you should probably use that over Single Rider, especially if you want to ride with someone in your group. However, if it's a busier park day, the Standby line is long, and you don't have Express Pass, Single Rider might be your next best option.

The main reason is this is the only way to make sure you see absolutely everything that the Wizarding World of Harry Potter has to offer. The other main reason we think the Hogwarts Express is worth it is that it's a convenient way to travel between the two parks and you can enjoy a different experience both ways.

You'll need at least one entire day to visit Universal in order to make the most of your experience. Consult Universal's website and social media channels before visiting to see what's new and happening at the park during your visit.

So why remove something that so many guests obviously benefit? The short answer is money.

Generally, Lightning Lanes will have a shorter wait than single rider, and if we had a Lightning Lane we'd almost never opt to use single rider instead.
