Do you have time for 2 parks? If you do, do you need express passes?
If you don't have time for 2 parks, which park is the best for kids under 10? Which one has the most Harry Potter attractions?
Islands of Adventure seems to be the best for that in my research.

Get the express pass and run to the Harry Potter ride that isn't covered by it when the park first opens. After that you could hit most of the rides in both parks using the pass. The Velociraptor ride isn't covered either, but it had times with a short wait when we were there. The app with all of the wait times is a big help to optimize what to ride next.

Do you have time for 2 parks?
quote:If they like thrill rides, then definitely Islands. If they like "experiences" more, then MAYBE studios, but I would still lean to Islands.

quote:Kind of even. Studios has Diagon Alley which is pretty cool. It also has Gringott's. But Islands has Hogwarts and Hagrid's.

Both parks are very doable in a single day with the express pass. I would do both.

My son (almost 11) and I were there last week. As has been stated, you will want to get there at least a half hour before opening and then race to the motorcycle HP ride. We were staying at a park property and got in at 8AM (park opens at 9AM) and the line was over an hour both days we were there. That said, it is a fantastic ride and our favorite by far. I would stay in that park (adventure) and do all the rides on that side with express. This should only take until lunch, maybe a little after. Then walk outside the park (skip the dumb train) and go into the other Universal. There are three maybe four rides on that side and the only real winner is the roller coaster and the HP.

With express pass you can do both parks easily. We did it when it was very busy.

Universal Private VIP Tour is around $3k pp for one day
That’s two or more folks with one guide
I took the Universal VIP Experience last year, it was around $400 pp for about 7 hours with a buffet breakfast at the beginning.
It is one guide with around 8-10 people.
We did about nine rides total, some from both parks.

The Hagrid and new Jurassic World coasters are 2 of the best roller coasters I’ve ever been on. Incredible rides
