Early admission Universal

I have only just noticed that in the I hour early admission for onsite Universal hotel guests there are only a couple of rides you can do. Hogarth express is not one of those listed. So you can only do Harry Potter in be park cos you can't hop to the other?

Yes that sounds about right. When we did this last year we went into US and headed over to HP. By around 8.15 they were starting to queue for the Hogwarts Express - this was outside the station. Just before 8.45 they started moving the line into the station and onto the Express. It pulled out of the station at exactly 9am and headed off to IoA. We then got off the train, went through Hogsmead and straight to Skull Island and were among the first ones in the ride.

dont forget if you are staying onsite at HRH,RPR or PBH you get unlimited express passes which now include all harry potter rides and the train,so if you are staying in one of those i wouldn't worry i was there in August and the normal queue for Forbidden Journey was only 20 mins,gringotts was still 60 mins and the express line took us about 30 mins as you only skip the upstairs queue you join the normal one once you are downstairs for the lift.

Normally only one park tends to be open during the extra hour in the morning, not both. (although sometimes at peak times they will open both).

Because only one park is open, the hogwarts express doesn't run during this time as the other park will not be open. Usually the first hogwarts express sets off dead on the time the other park opens so you can actually get to the other park before anyone else has gained access and walked all the way around to the harry potter area.
