Hogwarts Express - FOLP?

Does The Hogwarts Express have an Express Lane? I only ask, as last visit in August 2016, we stood in an exceptionally long, very hot, very humid, dark line for what seemed like for ever! I found no pleasure in it whatsoever. We didn't take the train back from Universal - preferred to walk back!
Must add, there was the most incredible storm brewing up which certainly didn't help with the humidity!

Yes it does. At least it says so on the participating rides and attractions tab.

We find staying at one of the 3 main hotels PB HR RP for one night is the cheapest way of getting Express ticket. Well it is for us as we are a family of 4 and go school holiday. One nights stay gets you 2 days of folp.

Thanks, yes, we are staying 2 nights RPR. Just on our last visit (Aug 2016), The Hogwarts Express didn't have an Express Lane - I know that Harry Potter rides now have Express Lanes, just wasn't sure about HE.

Thank you, that's good to know. I may ride again - perhaps US to IOA this time. Eldest DS thinks the line on that side is more interesting than the IOA side too. I just couldn't be convinced last time to get back on it.

Do you still get to see the "walking through the wall" illusion on the express pass line?
