The Mouse For Less Tips
- Now you can use the Virtual Line Pass to wait for your turn to ride. This is great since it can be incredibly popular which makes wait times much longer. While waiting kids can play in the Jurassic Camp or explore nearby shops!
- Because this ride can have up to an hour wait at certain times of day or peak seasons, be sure to download the official Universal Orlando Resort app to view real time waits.
- For shortest wait times guests should try riding early in the day or before closing. To view additional average wait time information on Pteranodon Flyers and other Universal attractions, click here.
