Universal studios was one of the best days ever! It brought out my inner child again and I had the best day. Everything went so smoothly, we were able to achieve 95% of the rides in one day and we have the most magical and incredible experience

A beautiful amusement park divided into themed areas, each with its own unique characteristics. I would have preferred to buy a skip-the-line ticket to save time and have the chance to go on all the rides, but I still managed to visit several attractions!

The experience, the rides and the enjoyment I had was incredible. My favourite ride was the flying dinosaur, I don't think I'd experience it in the Gold Coast, despite us having the Biggest Roller Coaster in the Southern Hemisphere. This theme park is second-to-none compared to the previous ones I've been to

Perfect date to go as it wasn't super busy and the express pass just made things go so much quicker and smoother. Very fortunate to have booked with Headout which made things super easy for us to have an enjoyable day together.

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.

Osaka 2025 was a unique experience with amazing atmosphere. The architecture of the outer wooden ring is spectacular and worth the travel. The mix and set up of country pavilions is well organized. The drawback of the success is that the event is a bit crowded. We will keep found memories of Osaka 2025 !

  • While the USJ Express 7 significantly reduces wait times, there may still be short queues for security checks or boarding procedures.
  • USJ offers different Express Pass tiers with varying levels of access. The Express Pass 7 focuses on 7 specific rides, while other tiers might offer access to a wider or more limited range of attractions. Choose the tier that best suits your must-do rides.
  • Express Passes sell out like hotcakes, especially during peak seasons and weekends. Booking yours in advance alongside your park tickets is highly recommended to avoid disappointment.
  • The Express Pass 7 often requires selecting preferred time slots for specific rides. While this ensures priority access, it restricts some flexibility in your park itinerary. Take wait time trends into account and plan your day strategically around these time slots to get the most out of your visits.
  • Not all rides at USJ are included in the Universal Studios Express Pass 7. Popular seasonal attractions might be excluded.
