You’ll now be able to use Express Pass for two more rides at Universal’s Epic Universe, in addition to the existing list of attractions.
New Rides Added to Epic Universe Express Pass
Express Pass
When you add Universal Express Pass to your theme park admission, you get to skip the regular lines at most of the rides and attractions in the parks (one time use per attraction). It is available at all four Universal Studios parks: Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, Epic Universe, and Volcano Bay.
Express Pass Unlimited, which allows you to skip the regular lines as many times as you want for each attraction, is a perk of staying at one of Universal’s Signature Collection hotels. It is valid only in Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure.
One of the most recent changes to the Express Pass lineup at Universal Orlando Resort was the addition of Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure earlier this summer. The attraction had previously only offered a standby line and an occasional single rider line.
Express Pass at Epic Universe
Both Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry and Donkey Kong’s Mine-Cart Madness are now part of Express Pass at Epic Universe.
With this change, there are now 12 rides and attractions included in Express Pass at Epic Universe. Here is the full list:
- Constellation Carousel
- Curse of the Werewolf
- Fyre Drill
- Hiccup’s Wing Gliders
- Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry
- Le Cirque Arcanus
- Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge

What is Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry?
Travel from Paris to the British Ministry of Magic and join Harry, Ron, and Hermione as you explore the many departments as Delores Umbridge stands trial. You’ll experience adventure, fantastic beasts, and unexplored mystery.
You must be 40” tall to ride. Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry is the only ride located in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic.

As one important note, the addition of these two popular rides has increased the pricing for Express Pass at Epic Universe. While the pricing for Express Pass varies widely depending on the date of your visit, the overall cost has increased around an average of $20 per person, at the lower end.
