items I have been using a Universal Studios Yearly Pass for the past four years with never using a fast pass! It can be overwhelming to go without knowing what the park holds, so on my listings I will share what each ride holds and what time you should go ...

Rides Enjoyable for Little Kids and Adults
Yes, all the rides can be for anyone, but if you have a little kid who is not a fan of big drops and fast tempo, these are some rides they will like at Universal Studios. To get them feeling brave, these rides will calm their nerves and remind them t...
This is a very popular ride & it gets very packed. You sit down in a little box like machine that will slowly move up and down while a video is being played about the Simpsons. You will move when there’s commotion in the video. I recommend going ...
The Simpsons Ride
This ride is similar to the Simpsons ride, except that you’re in a huge room with multiple seats in box like machine that move instead of in a private room. It does not get as packed as the Simpsons ride. The wait time is usually not over an hour whe...
Despicable Me Minion Ride
This ride is very cute and fun! You’re in a little cart that moves around with animatronics and videos of the characters around you. I will be straight honest in saying this ride has been super packed since it opened. For a kid, it is worth the wait....
The Secret Life Of Pets: Off The Leash
A 3-D ride with a little box like machine that moves you around. They give you 3D glasses too. The highest wait time I have seen is 1 hour and 10 minutes but early in the morning or afternoon/night it gets lower like 40 minutes.
Transformers™: The Ride-3D
The wait time is always really long. You will be waiting 2 hours. It is a good ride and little kids love it, but it is very packed.
Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge
It’s basically a mini movie theater with the 4D experience. Your chair moves when action is occurring on the screen. Last time I went it felt like it was 10 minutes long. It’s a nice ride to debrief and relax. This ride is not frequently packed. Most...
DreamWorks Theatre Featuring Kung Fu Panda
Popular Rides
These are the most popular and longest wait time rides at Universal Studios.
My second favorite ride! I wish it was longer, but I’d say it is worth it. Either do this ride right when you arrive early in the morning or wait until 5 pm and on. Late afternoon and night time you’ll be waiting less than an hour. Highest time I’ve ...
Jurassic World - The Ride
My favorite ride! Very fast and a short ride tho. I really love it!!! It’s worth the wait in mg opinion. Same thing as Jurassic Park, waiting until 5 pm to the park closes to go will get you the fastest wait time.
Revenge of the Mummy - The Ride
I love this ride and the wait time is usually less than Jurassic and the Mummy. I feel like this ride is the worst to wait in though since there’s so many Rooms you’re entering. It’s exciting the first times you go because the castle is really nice, ...
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter
I always say that if it’s your first time at Universal you need to go to this one. It goes over lots of movies and production created by Universal. Some people say it’s boring, but The tram will move when a 3D screen is playing and has special effect...
Universal Studio Tour
The wait time is always very short. Most I’ve waited is 20 minutes. It’s not really a popular ride, but I’m just including it for anyone who’s curious. The ride is very short that’s why the wait time isn’t long and people tend to not go to this one. ...
Flight of the Hippogriff
The Upper lot
These are the rides and food places you can find in the Upper Lot!
Little tip: I recommend to go to the rides in the Upper Lot first instead of the lower lot. Go to the rides, relax, and eat. Since the entrance takes you to the lower lot, most peopl...
The upper lot is the area you have to get to by using the Escalators. It is smaller than the lower lot. Up here you can find the rides Jurassic Park, Transformers, and the Mummy.
Rides in the Upper Lot
The first “restaurant” is the Jurassic Cafe. It’s not the best food, but I enjoy the empanadas, salads, and burgers. The next is Panda Express, but it is always packed here. The line will be all the way outside of the building and barely any tables. ...
Food Places in the Upper Lot
The Lower Lot
Here are the rides and food places I like in the lower lot!
When entering the park, you enter the Lower Lot. This is where you’ll find the most food places and rides. The Simpsons, Minions, Life of Pets, Harry Potter, Kung Fu Panda Theater Experience, The Tram, and Nintendo World.
Lower Lot Rides
Being honest with you guys, I have not tried all the food places in the lower lot. I like to stick with what I like since it’s expensive I do not want to throw away the food if it’s not up to my liking. The food places I like here are Krusty Burger, ...
Lower Lot Food Places
So little tip! Every night the park will put on some firework shows near the Harry Potter Wizarding World Ride at nighttime. This is the perfect time to head over to all those packed rides! Harry Potter is like 5 minutes when the fireworks on are. Ta...
