Thanbks for that ( I think[msnsad]) there are 7 of us, so that is an extra $280 on top[msnmad][msnscared][msncry]

Unfortunately there is state tax to pay on top of the $40 per person also!

I go to the parks about 15 times a year...never had a fast pass yet....and never waited that long for any ride...45 mins being the longest...we go to both parks in one day...$71 if we need to buy a ticket...(we have yearly passes)..and upgrade for $31 for 3 more days....which can be used anytime...offers change all the time so its not easy to say what to do...

How would this work work if you have the flexi tickets like we do?
Do you still have to pay seperatly and where would that be?

Thanx

When we went there were certainly some occassions when the fast pass queue was just as long as the standard queue. The only difference seemd to be that they would let twice as many fast passers through at a time so it seemd as though they were getting value for money.
Ditch the whole system I say and just turn up and take your turn like everyone else.

we went for new year this year having been before at easter, june july , september, october and found we could not believe the size of the queues [msnscared] but even then we found we didn' t wait too long really just longer than we had before . went on the mummy and decided to go for a beer as my nephew was driving that day , they all decided as we came off the mummy that they would like to do it again and by the time we ordered a beer and sat down they were back!! ( this was our first visit since there were no fastpasses )
have asos found the queues in july fine , enjoy!![msnsmile

etc

We went to Universal yesterday, Thought as it was Memorial Day that it would be very busy, so we enquired about the express pass. It would have cost us $112 for the four of us for both parks. As you can only use the express once on each ride. We decided to see how it went in the park first, as you can still purchase the pass in the park.

We arrived early, so was able to get on Hulk twice in 15 minutes, and did most of the rides that have fairly big queues early. If you don't want to spend the money on the express pass, then you need to plan your day, and most importantly get there early.

Islands of Adventure was pretty good for queueing times, maximum wait was 40 mins, Duelling dragons is up and running again, they have added a section of track, revamped the seats and repainted it. What is closed now is Green eggs and Ham in Dr Zeus area. They are adding in new tracks on the monorail around the carousel area.

Moving on to Universal. the wait for Mummy was 10 mins and that was at 2.00pm, although the wait for Shrek 4D was 60 mins, so we gave that a miss that day. We thought the express pass for that day, was not really worth it. Sometimes it might be if the queues are really long on most of the rides, it might be worth it.
