Universal Studios Hollywood

Core Features That Make a Difference

Live Wait Times & Virtual Line Reservations: See current and estimated wait times for every ride and attraction. For select experiences, use the Virtual Line feature to secure a return time instead of waiting in a physical queue.

Interactive Park Maps & Turn-by-Turn Navigation: Find your way with detailed, GPS-enabled maps. Locate rides, restaurants, shows, restrooms, and character meet-and-greets, and get walking directions to your next destination.

Mobile Food & Drink Ordering: Skip the line at many participating restaurants and food carts. Browse menus, order, and pay directly in the app, then just show up during your selected pickup window to grab your meal.

Digital Ticketing & Pass Management: Store your park tickets, Universal Express passes, or Annual Pass directly in the app for quick, contactless scanning at the front gate and participating attractions.

Showtimes, Alerts & Personalized Planning: View daily show schedules for WaterWorld and the Animal Actors show. Set alerts for when wait times drop or when your Virtual Line return window opens.
