Universal Orlando Tests $25 Single-Ride Express Access at Two Attractions

The limited-capacity pilot offers an on-demand, lower-cost alternative to Universal’s pricey full-day Express Pass.

Overview

  • Universal is offering Universal Express Single Attraction Access at Revenge of the Mummy and Skull Island: Reign of Kong in a limited test.
  • Guests purchase access on the same day by scanning QR codes at the rides that open the Universal Orlando app’s Special Offers to complete a $24.99–$25 per person, per ride transaction.
  • Inventory is first-come, first-served with the app warning that offers sell out fast, and only one offer can be selected at a time.
  • The pilot contrasts with full-day Express products that were listed today at about $210 for Universal Studios Florida and $220 for Islands of Adventure, with prices varying by date.
  • Universal has not announced a permanent rollout or broader expansion, and trade outlets note the approach resembles Disney’s pay-per-ride Lightning Lane model.
