Universal Orlando Tests $25 Single-Attraction Express Access at Two Rides

Universal is gauging demand for an a la carte, app-based skip-the-line option that could diversify access beyond its higher-priced all-day passes.

Overview

  • The limited pilot offers one-time Express entry for Revenge of the Mummy and Skull Island: Reign of Kong at Universal Orlando.
  • Guests buy access in-park via QR-code signs that link to the Universal Orlando app, with purchases restricted to same-day, single use.
  • Pricing is about $25 per person, per ride, compared with full-day Express products that typically range roughly $120–$360 depending on date.
  • Inventory is limited, the app warns offers can sell out quickly, and only one offer can be selected at a time.
  • Universal has described the option as a test with no announced expansion, as industry watchers note its resemblance to Disney’s Lightning Lane pay-per-ride model.
