Fortunately, it doesn’t really negatively impact your Universal Studios experience, with safety guidelines being relaxed as the virus slowly recedes. The COVID-19 pandemic has done quite a number on Orlando theme parks. But don’t worry, you don’t need to make a decision when buying your Universal Orlando tickets – you can also add on an Express Pass in the Universal Orlando mobile app and at kiosks located throughout the park. Though Disney’s FastPasses are complimentary, you’ll need to pay extra for a Universal Express Pass. Available on only select Universal rides, an Express Pass lets you skip the line and save massive amounts of time. If you really want to save some time, however, your best bet is to invest in a Universal Express Pass. Although, if there is a Single Rider Line at an attraction, it can be a great way to save some time as long as the line isn’t too long. Unlike the regular and Express Pass lines, the Single Rider Line is only used to fill in empty spots in groups when seating an attraction, so the line doesn’t move as quickly or as regularly. As you can probably guess from the name, the Single Rider Line is for those who are either traveling alone or who don’t care whether they sit next to other people in their party. – they’ll know what you mean) before entering the queue so they can point you in the correct direction.Ī couple of other kinds of lines you should also be aware of at Universal Studios Florida are the Single Rider Line and Universal Express. To do this, just make sure you let a Universal team member at the front of the attraction’s entrance know that you want to use Child Swap (or Rider Switch, Parent Swap, etc. Then, once they’ve finished, the person who waited can go on the ride without needing to wait in line.

This allows one member of your party to stay back with the too-small child while the rest of your group rides. However, these height restrictions, particularly for the less thrilling rides, are usually within reach for many children.įurthermore, even if a ride’s height requirement is out of reach, literally, for the park’s littlest visitors (or if it’s simply too intense), their parents and any other applicable riders can still enjoy it by using Universal’s Child Swap.

Visiting Universal Studios FloridaĪlthough we do consider many of the rides at Universal Studios Florida to be family-friendly, keep in mind that, with the exception of 4 rides (Fievel’s Playland, Hogwarts Express – King’s Cross Station, Kang & Kodos’ Twirl ‘n’ Hurl, and Shrek 4-D), the rest of the Universal Studios rides do have minimum height requirements. We go through the ones that simply can’t be missed, along with which ones you can skip if you’re pressed for time. Whether you’re looking for scream-inducing thrills or kid-friendly fun, there are plenty of Universal Studios Florida rides. The park has seen some changes over the years, and while it’s lost some beloved attractions, this family-friendly park is still a must for fans of movies and television. Give ‘em the old razzle-dazzle! (Or, in Universal’s case, lots and lots of screens.) Like the other Studios in Orlando, Universal Studios Florida is an ode to show business, from popular film franchises to classic cartoons.
