This limited-time offer was available only today for Skull Island: Reign of Kong and Revenge of the Mummy. Each ride pass costs $24.99 per person. This style of fast pass is akin to Disney\u2019s Lightning Lane Passes, where guests pay to skip the line per pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/potterspotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-30.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/potterspotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-30.png 300w, https:\/\/potterspotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-30-156x300.png 156w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-small-font-size\"><sub>Source: Universal Orlando Resort App<br>Universal Express Single Attraction Access \u2013 Skull Island: Reign of Kong<\/sub><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"589\" src=\"https:\/\/potterspotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-31.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1487\" srcset=\"https:\/\/potterspotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-31.png 300w, https:\/\/potterspotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-31-153x300.png 153w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-small-font-size\"><sub>Source: Universal Orlando Resort App<br>Universal Express Single Attraction Access \u2013 Skull Island: Reign of Kong<\/sub><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Disney offers three tiers of <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/lightning-lane-passes\/\">Lightning Lane Passes<\/a>: Single, Multi, and Premier.
