Universal queues now?

Leave in 3 weeks and still contemplating whether or not to get an Express Pass.

To be honest, once the school hols are done it will be a lot quieter I imagine anyway!

Do some maths maybe cheaper to stay a night in a hotel and get 2 days unlimited ep complementary. We do this at hard rock. Room for 5 about £280 late Aug. Say ep are 120 that day thats 5 x 120 makes sense but not always. The way it usjally works if the ep are cheaper you prob dont need them as they are obviously cheaper at quieter times.

We go next week and I am waiting to see the live wait times for today just to try to prepare ourselves. I am hoping they go down slightly as the week goes on.

Very busy Sunday and Monday. Even with Express passes it was taking 20+ minutes for the Minions and Rip Rocket

I would expect it to get quieter next week

Keep checking the app it has wait times and will give you an idea of the wait times! There are also busy day guides that give you advice on what days is best to visit what park.

August 19 onward is much quieter, and the first week of sept is almost dead!

We do always stay on site but honestly, the first couple of weeks in sept last year it really wasn't needed, just ride things like Hulk, Transformers and the HP stuff early on and keep an eye on wait times. It's really quiet for the first couple of hours.

Minions does always have daft waits though.

Yesterday the queues were huge!

Jurassic Park was 50 mins! I've never seen it that long before! Ripsaw falls was 90 mins, Spiderman was 70.

We used the single rider queue where we could to cut down the queue time. It's been incredibly hot and dry here the last few days so everyone's making the most of the weather it seems.

Some local schools have started back today though so I'm sure it will start to quieten down by the time you get here 😁

RPR would cost you £245 inc taxes in early September and you get 2 days of Express passes included.

To buy standalone Express Passes for 3 people for 2 days would set you back £372.

As you say, the parks may / should be quieter... hopefully.
