Here are some of the things you might not have known about Universal Studios, Orlando:

The Second Entrance

If you want to avoid standing in the entrance lines for hours just waiting to get inside the park to start your day, you’re going to love this one!

Universal Studios actually has a second entrance located near the Blue Man Group, between the Despicable Me ride and Studios Store. If you don’t mind starting your day a bit late (the gate opens at 10am), this second entrance rarely has any queues and can get you in as soon as you arrive on location!

Owl Post

Did you know that you can mail letters right from the Harry Potter world out into the Muggle world with a special owl stamp only found on-site? Just drop your letters into any of the postboxes posted across Hogsmeade and they’ll arrive on location by special delivery!

Platform 9 ¾

Even if you run into the walls between platforms 9 and 10 at Kings Cross Studios at Universal Studios like Harry and Ron in the second movie, you won’t have to suffer a headlong collision! Walk through the ‘solid’ wall between the platforms and you’ll find yourself on Platform 9 ¾…just in time to catch the Hogwarts Express to start your Wizarding World adventure!

(Don’t worry, you’re not actually running into a wall! The brick wall is just a special effect!)

Hidden Tracks

The Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit allows you to choose your very own personalized soundtrack as you cruise through the ride. The secret unveils itself when you long-press on the logo on the touchscreen on your safety bar, revealing special hidden tracks to rock out to!

The Ministry of Magic

Head on over to the red phone booth outside Kings Cross Station at Diagon Alley and dial 62442 (it spells MAGIC!) and get connected directly to the Ministry of Magic!
