It was so great to skip lines, we would not have managed in 37 degree heat any other way. The parent switch and express passes meant we got to see a lot more of the park than we would have otherwise. Harry Potter forbidden ride was a favourite and the minions mayhem.

It's a very good experience. It was too short for too much experiences to enjoy! The flight of dinosaur was the hardest but unfortunately only 1 time to enjoy.

Professional organisation and kind staff everywhere! Great rides. The eypress pass was valuable given the limited time we had for visiting the park: one day only; and the crowd at the rides.

I would have loved to do the Jurassic Park ride, but this attraction was not available. But I was able to do quite a few attractions. The other Jurassic Park attraction (for the faint of heart), Family Spy (I loved it), Jaws (I was transported back to my childhood), Harry Potter (mind-blowing). I chose not to do the Nintendo part, because even with the timed entry system, the waiting time on some attractions was 2 hours or more.

Universal Studio was a hit for the kids. Obviously overcrowded and overpriced like every amusement Park in the world... Queues for rides: very long but if you ride as "single" instead of a group you save a lot of time. Queues for the food: way way too long! We basically did not eat for the entire day because we did not want to waste 1 hour in a queue for a questionable hot dog. (We bought overpriced cookies from one of the hundreds of stores, instead). Super Nintento World: A M A Z I N G!!!! Although obviously a rip-off I recommend to buy the bracelet, you can earn coin and power ups and access extra rides. It was a blast.
