Universal Spring break crowds
Posted: Tue Mar 13, 2012 7:43 pm
I spent the day with some friends over at Universal. Generally, I avoid the crowded day but my friends are loaded so they got me an express pass so I would join them. What a WASTE of money. I was Jolly the whole time as I had been a million times so I was happy to be with friends. IN the back of my mind I could only think was how expensive these express passes.
For as much money as they cost I think you truly should be able to hop in front of the line and not have to wait more then a couple people.
Every ride we had over a half hour wait. It was true that without them we would have had to wait in some more serious lines.
Spiderman = 130 min
Harry Potter - 120 min
Every ride we hit we had to wait at least a half hour if not more.
The most bizzare/horrifying thing I saw was in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. There were massive lines everywhere. You had to wait in a massive line with hundreds and hundreds of people just to get a locker so you could wait in the actual line for the Forbidden journy.
I counted 80 people in line for one of the butter beer stations.
The restaurants and stores all had lines with switch backs to get in. I think it took over and hour to get a table at three broomsticks.
It all take away from the charm of the area when your shoulder to shoulder with
I guess that is pretty typical spring break crowds. Thank god i didn't have to pay or else I would have been pissed.
