USH - Fan Fest Nights

Since there isn’t a thread for USH, I’m putting it in UOR right now…

I’m only about 10 days away from going to Fan Fest. I’ve been devouring all the vlogs I can without too many spoilers.

What I have been finding out is that a number of attractions will close much earlier than 2am…

The following rides and attractions will remain open during Universal Fan Fest Nights (subject to change):

  • Jurassic World – The Ride (closes at 12:00 a.m.)
  • The Simpsons Ride™
  • Revenge of the Mummy – The Ride
  • Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey™ (closes at 11:15 p.m.)
  • Flight of the Hippogriff™
  • Mario Kart™: Bowser’s Challenge (closes at 10:00 p.m.)
  • Despicable Me Minion Mayhem (closes at 12:00 a.m.)
  • The Secret Life of Pets: Off the Leash (closes at 12:00 a.m.)
  • SUPER NINTENDO WORLD™ (closes at 12:00 a.m.)

This isn’t uncommon at after hours events from Universal, but I has hoped rides like Bowser & FJ would at least close at midnight with everything else…

This is my first time to USH and I’m still learning the park layout - especially with upper & lower sections!

If you want to know where all the Fan Fest Night food and attractions are located I found this on the USH FAQ -

There are so many vlogs out there with experience and food reviews. The ones that I trust say the event is AMAZING and not crowded. I’m going to feel dumb having already bought the Express Pass and it’s not crowded! :money_mouth_face:

I’d rather have low crowds anyway!! At least I used my Universal Visa points to pay for it.
(I may talk to GS anyway if I don’t really use the UXP that night for a refund.)

I’m hearing that the BttF experience is basically a SW - Galactic Starcruiser style “event”. Multiple reviewers say Universal took all the best parts of SW-GS and made a truly immersive experience & it only costs $75! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Many people say they have to do it at least twice to meet all the characters! This is my fandom & the reason I’m going, but the entire event looks great!
