Universal has expanded its Express Pass service, now offering it for two more Epic Universe attractions, Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry and Donkey Kong Mine-Cart Madness.
This pass provides the opportunity to skip the lines for a limited number of rides, enhancing the overall enjoyment of the park. The introduction of this feature marks a pivotal moment in the park’s ongoing evolution as it seeks to accommodate an ever-increasing visitor base.
One of the most noteworthy updates is the inclusion of the Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry ride in the Express Pass options. Previously, this thrilling attraction had been excluded, frustrating many fans eager to dive into the magical world of Harry Potter. Guests can now experience the exhilarating adventure that plunges them into the depths of the Ministry of Magic, all while skipping the lengthy queues.
In addition to the Harry Potter ride, the beloved Donkey Kong Mine-Cart Madness has also been added to the Express Pass. This ride transports guests into the interactive world of Nintendo’s classic video games, making it a must-try for fans of all ages. The ability to utilize the Express Pass for this popular attraction offers a game-changing advantage for visitors looking to optimize their park experience.
With Epic Universe featuring some of the most highly anticipated rides in the theme park landscape, having a way to bypass long wait times can significantly enhance visitors’ experiences. The excitement of exploring the park without the burden of long queues is something every guest can appreciate.
The standard Express Pass ranges between $190 and $340 per person, per day, varying based on peak times and demand. This pricing allows access to the most sought-after attractions on a pay-per-day basis, providing flexibility in planning.
While other Universal parks do offer an Unlimited Express Pass, Epic Universe has not yet adopted this model. Instead, the regular Express Pass allows each guest to skip the line once per ride. While this limits repeat access, it still offers significant value by ensuring that guests can make the most out of their visit without the hassle of waiting in extensive lines.
