Overview

  • Universal confirmed that Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry and Donkey Kong Mine-Cart Madness now accept Express Pass at Epic Universe.
  • Both attractions display Express eligibility in the Universal Orlando app, while the official website and checkout flow have not fully updated.
  • Express at Epic Universe allows one skip per participating ride and is currently priced around $190 to $340 per person for a single day.
  • Express Unlimited is not offered at Epic Universe, limiting guests to one expedited entry per attraction.
  • With these additions, Dragon Racer’s Rally remains the only Epic Universe attraction without Express access, a shift that may lengthen standby waits on the two newly added rides.
