Universal Studios’ Epic Universe Has Express Passes
Much like other theme parks, Universal Studios offers an “Express Pass” for guests, allowing them to skip lines for the Epic Universe rides.
According to WESH, Epic Universe offers a one-day express pass with prices ranging from $129.99 to $329.99 per day, depending on the date and availability. This pass allows guests to skip the regular lines for all 11 Epic Universe rides. However, the pass only allows the guests to ride once per attraction.
The pass is also an additional cost on top of the regular theme park admission.
Unlimited express passes for Universal Studios’ Epic Universe are not yet available.
