Not satisfied this trip
We experienced delays on every ride even in the older parks. Universal prices are pretty pricey, even for non express. We are disappointed in the delays and extensive wait times. We did not purchase an express pass because its not in everyones budget. Express pass lines are also getting out of control. Sooner or later no one will purchase a regular ticket and the express lines will be just as bad as the regular admission. Im thinking Universal may need readjusting to their parks operations. Also if you have regular admission without express, you will have a rare chance to ride velocicoaster at night. We got in a 30 minute wait line two nights in a row and left because after an hour of waiting and never moving but the Express line kept moving and filling up and being catered to. We have been Universal people for a while but I lost the love this trip.

Excellent until time to leave
The Park was FANTASTIC! We ate, we walked, we rode the rides, walked some more and couldn't get enough. Universal Studios fulfilled all our dreams. The only reason I cannot give 5 stars is the lack of directions to the exit. As soon as the security guards saw us coming towards them to ask, they abruptly changed course to avoid us. They were too far and it was too noisy for them to hear us. We ended up going to the entrances to ask the park attendants for directions. We had walked in a perfect circle all around that entrance plaza only to go through the only one exit. We noticed the one sign that said to exit via Universal Studio Walk, but even that looked more like an ad to visit the stores in that area.

It was easy to do, and...
It was easy to do, and they kept you up to date with news and updates. I would definitely use them again.

Must-visit spot when traveling to Los Angeles
Universal Studios Hollywood was absolutely amazing and totally worth visiting during my LA trip! Every part of the park is incredibly themed and full of details from classic movies. The Studio Tour was such a fun behind-the-scenes experience, WaterWorld live show was thrilling with stunning stunts and special effects, and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter felt so magical and immersive. All the staff were friendly and energetic, the park was clean and well-organized, and every ride and show kept me entertained the whole day. Perfect for movie lovers, families and solo travelers, I would definitely come back again and highly recommend it to everyone visiting Los Angeles.
