We did a VIP tour which put us at start of lines for shows and rides and well worth the extra money. Loved the Shrek 4D show, Twister ride, Disaster movie. On our tour we got to see behind the scenes of a sound stage and students working in digital animation and visual effects (DAVE school). More

This is my first time back in a decade and the whole experience was wonderful. We = grandmother 55, aunt 26, boy 12, girl 10. We bought a four day - two park ticket, so we did not buy a fast pass. We were willing to split our group with an adult and the front and back, so we did... More

We went to Universal on April 8th. If I hadn't read some reviews of the park, I would have never known that our admission ticket allowed us to skip some lines on some attractions. Mummy, E.T. and Men in Black and Shrek 4 D were great. The rest of the rides were a waste of time, especially Twister and Back... More
