Is Universal Studios Japan fast pass worth it?

The most common (and key) question about the Express Pass is - is it worth buying? In short: Yes. Whilst you can access all the rides in the park with a regular Studio Pass, you're likely to be doing a LOT of queuing. If you only want to be sure to try 2 or 3 rides then that will be fine with just the Studio Pass.
