REGULAR ADMISSION AND MULTI-DAY TICKETS

There is no need to ever wait in a lengthy theme park line again.

At Universal Orlando, the new Universal Express program means that everyone who comes through the gates at the Universal Studios or Islands of Adventure theme parks will have quick, easy access to virtually all the destination's most popular rides and attractions.

The program offers a whole new way for guests and their families to enjoy theme parks. Regardless of the type of ticket they hold, guests using the Universal Express program will be whisked onto rides and attractions all day long, every day of the year. That means there is no need to wait before enjoying such blockbuster attractions as the Incredible Hulk Coaster at Islands of Adventure or Men In Black Alien Attack at Universal Studios.

"This is a break-through for our guests. It's a remarkable program that could forever change the way they experience theme parks," said Fred Lounsberry, executive vice president of Sales and Marketing for Universal Orlando.

The new Universal Express program officially debuts in March, but has been phased in since mid-February. The current program allowing multi-day ticket holders no line, no wait access during the first two hours of park operation will remain in place until then.

The new system comes just weeks after Universal Orlando announced a program that allows resort guests - those people staying at on-site Universal hotels - unprecedented, all-day priority access to virtually all rides and attractions simply by showing their hotel room key. That program is available for guests staying at the Portofino Bay Hotel and the brand-new Hard Rock Hotel and continues as part of the new Universal Express System.

"We want to make the theme park experience about enjoying rides and attractions -- not about waiting on lines," said Lounsberry. "We have listened to our guests and we have eliminated their number one concern about visiting a theme park: long lines."

The new program works this way:

Universal Orlando on-site hotel guests will continue to get preferred access to virtually every ride and attraction at Universal Studios or Islands of Adventure simply by showing their hotel room key at each ride.

Multi-Day ticket holders (those people holding two-day or three-day tickets) can choose times and receive express passes to experience up to three rides or attractions by presenting their ticket at any Universal Express distribution center located throughout both Universal Studios or Islands of Adventure. They will choose one of two possible windows of time in which they can return to experience each of the rides or attractions they have selected. They simply show their Express Pass at each attraction for no line, no wait access. They can get another Express Pass after visiting all three attractions or after all the chosen windows of time have passed.

Single-Day ticket holders can choose one of two possible windows of times for a single ride or attraction, and receive an express pass to experience that ride or attraction, by presenting their ticket at any Universal Express distribution center. They can get another Express Pass after visiting the attraction, after the chosen window of time has passed, or after two hours have passed.

Guests using the Universal Express Pass will be directed to special Universal Express queue entrances, where they will experience virtually no wait (anticipated maximum wait is 15 minutes). Express Passes cannot be used at Pteranodon Flyers, front-row seating for the Incredible Hulk Coaster and Dueling Dragons coaster at Islands of Adventure, or at Fievel's Playland Slide or Woody Woodpecker's NutHouse Coaster at Universal Studios.
