Express Passes for one day in December?

catalunya · 20 Aug 18, 10:21 PM

Title says it all really.
Heading to Universal for a day on either 5th or 6th December this year. Will be our third visit.
Can anyone give us a hint as to the crowd levels around this time please? And whether if it was you visiting whether you would get express passes for that day to guarantee riding? Or would it be a waste of dosh?
Thank you

We went early December 1915 and most rides in Universal had short rides, particularly if you were willing to do single rider e.g. Harry Potter. The longest wait I remember was the Simpsons but it was mid-day, about an hour I think. Most rides were 15 min or less.

We went about 100 years after the post above

and every early December, about the same dates as your going.

You won�t need an express pass, it will be a waste of money, it�s a great time of year to go.

Crowd levels tend to be relatively low in the first week in December, especially midweek. I suspect you won't need Express passes.

Thank you Nimbus, KK_Cat and Captain-codeye ( 100 years later

)
We will not purchase the passes and make a judgement call on the day if for some reason it seems particularly busy. Appreciate your thoughts!

Hee, hee, that's what happens when you DIBB in between working on my local WW1 research. I've spent so much time on WW1 these last 4 years that my fingers automatically type 19XX before 20XX every now and then - not the first time I've been caught
