Crowds at Universal Studios Hollywood?

Orcinus · 03-31-2009, 11:46 AM

How will the crowds be this week? Thinking about going since I have a pass and have only used it once. Went in August, it was crazy crowded so I didn't get to do much. I'd like to at least do Simpsons, tram tour, and Terminator.

During the week it probably won't be "too" bad, but it is Spring Break for ALOT of schools. Just get there early and make sure to do the Simpsons and Tram early and you'll be okay.

Say hi, too

it should be okay. I mean disney has taken all the guests and spring breakers to disneyland and thanks to the birthday celebration, and the 2fer. but still there is going to be people but hopefully not too crowded since its spring break session.

have fun.

I stopped by last Saturday and it got quite crowded after 12 noon. Jurassic Park had the longest line that day and even Mummy had a 10-15 min. wait.

If possible, get there at opening, ride Simpsons then the Tour and then Terminator and then you'll be as good as gold for the rest of the day. Entering via the Annual Pass Member's entrance should help you get in a bit quicker.

guess im wrong on my comment lol. my bad.

You'll be fine. USH does a good job with the crowds.

I'm glad they finally wised up and put a small perimeter fence up and moved the baggage checkpoint to the outer perimeter of the ticket booths.

I've been telling them to do that for years!!!

*sir clinksalot* · 04-02-2009, 12:27 PM

^ Yeah, I really liked that set-up when we went to the park last month. Worked REALLY well.

Except for the fact that if you have to activate you AP, you have to leave the fence set-up and then go back through bag-check.

Orcinus · 04-02-2009, 12:38 PM

Thanks for all the responses

We plan on getting there around noon simply because my bestie and I are so pro we run out of things to do if we spend all day there.

*sir clinksalot* · 04-02-2009, 12:53 PM

^ I would suggest getting there at open and staying until 2:00 or 3:00 instead of getting there at noon and staying until 6:00pm.

But that's just me. I'm a "Get to the park at opening when there are no crowds" kind of guy.

TDLFAN · 04-02-2009, 12:57 PM

Oh no!! Too early for me to be out of bed. I like to arrive at will no matter what time.

Orcinus · 04-02-2009, 11:42 PM

Well to get there at opening we'd have to sit in LA traffic since we are coming from the OC. We absolutely hate traffic.

TDLFAN · 04-03-2009, 02:58 AM

Skip the traffic. You can take the subway train to USH as well from whatever station is closest to OC... and they operate that lovely tram from the bottom of the hill to the main entrance, and back.

*sir clinksalot* · 04-03-2009, 08:17 AM

It's LA, your going to get Traffic no matter what.

Just sayin' ...

Exactly!

I live just 15 min. away from USH and always hit traffic on the way there no matter if I take the 101 or just surface streets.
