Discover the amazing world of Universal Orlando Resort not just through the amazing rides, but really cool queues that have such an awesome attention to detail that they (might) even make you forget that you have been stuck in the VelociCoaster line for 120 minutes!
Even if you're not a "ride person," the meticulously designed queues offer an adventure of their own. Here are some can't-miss queues at Universal Studios Orlando and Universal's Islands of Adventure.
Hogwarts Express — King’s Cross Station
- Location: The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
- Highlights: Begin your magical journey at King’s Cross Station, passing through brick arches and turnstiles, and board the Hogwarts Express. The queue includes a snack spot and a magical walk through Platform 9 ¾, providing a taste of the wizarding world before the adventure even begins.
Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts
- Location: The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Diagon Alley at Universal Studios Florida.
- Highlights: Adorned with crystal chandeliers and lifelike goblin bankers. The queue takes you on an underground descent to the vaults, and takes you face to face with characters like Bill Weasley and Blordak, offering a detailed and immersive experience.
The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man
- Location: Universal's Islands of Adventure.
- Highlights: Before swinging into action, explore The Daily Bugle's bustling offices. The retro design creates an atmosphere straight out of a comic book, with office cubicles, ringing telephones, and news footage warning of supervillains. Puns and jokes adorn the walls, immersing you in the world of Spider-Man. Also, you have the chance to listen to J. Jonah Jameson as he complains about Spider Man over and over again!
Jurassic World Velocicoaster
- Location: Universal's Islands of Adventure.
- Highlights: Even if you're not ready for the rollercoaster, the queue will make you excited for it, trust us. Come face to face with hungry raptors, the same ones that will be speeding next to you once the ride finally starts. You also have time to watch a short movie with Chris Pratt telling you that it's a terrible idea to create a roller coaster based on real raptors. Nope, you're wrong, Chris! Velocicoaster is amazing, thanks raptors!
Enjoy these queues, where the story begins before the ride starts, adding an extra layer of magic to your Universal Orlando Resort experience. Want to know more about Universal and plan your next trip there? Send us a message and we will lend you a hand.
