Unforgettable day! Even though there were so many people, thanks to the order and keeping and fast flowing of the lines we didn't even realize it! All very thanks to our Express Pass which allowed us to optimize our time by far. All the worlds are wonderful. Definitely try the butterbeer in Harry's World and repeat endlessly the attraction "The forbidden Journey."!!!! Magical Mario's World feels like being in the game! Roller coasters are not for us, but I have noticed a lot of joy in other people in doing them.

Absolutely CRAZY experience for me & my wife! Enjoyed ALL the popular rides on my day to USJ, thanks to the express pass backdrop which got us skip the line access to rides that had the highest waiting time For all other rides, we used the single entry queue which got me inside the ride within 10-25 minutes per ride. One of the best days of our lives.

I loved the most SpyXFamily with the combination of VR and real moving sensations of the attraction. Express tickets were very useful and allowed us to do a lot more attractions than if we didn't had them. And I also wanted to say that the crew members were all so kind with us, so joyful it was a real pleasure to be there.

    Information on the times of the attractions is only given after purchase and cannot be changed. Times are chosen arbitrarily. The times set for the fast/express pass were close together and, most of the time, close to the park's closing time. This made it impossible for me to queue for other rides in the park. When buying the tickets, it should be announced that the worst night times can be imposed without the possibility of changing them in the future. To improve the service, I believe it should be possible for the buyer to choose the times available before purchase. Unfortunately, the imposed times disrupted my visit to the park.
