TouringPlans Lines Universal Orlando (Unofficial) for Android

The Universal app is good but the Disney app is great! Why not update the Universal app to the same style and quality?

Two years ago I took my girls to WDW and after researching a sane way to navigate that huge park, found this app. Because of our great experience with it, I knew this was going to be my go to for Universal Studios. My husband and I took our two kids ages 10 & 12 for a two day trip. This app was a great way to plan our days and get the best value out of our tickets. It even had more complete and accurate information than Universal’s own app. Ex: Hogwart’s night light show on the universal app just says varied show times. But this app clearly noted it was cancelled because the park closes before it gets dark enough for a light show. I confirmed this with the parks helpers, and Universal should indicate this on their app. The lines app website makes it easier to calculate time more accurately by allowing you to enter your walking pace and whether you want to prioritize walking less ( as opposed to squeezing in as many attractions as possible). There is also a rating system for all the attractions based on age of rider. That’s how I knew Pteranodon Flyers was not going to be fun for my 12 year old. Because of the excellent time estimates from this app for lines, I could time meals and reservations perfectly. Be sure to update completed attractions and refresh your plan as you go. I would still recommend downloading the Universal app for two reasons. First, you’ll be able to see the menus for park dining options, and use mobile ordering for some places (Leaky Cauldron but not Three Broomsticks) and second, there may be circumstances where the Universal app will have more up to date ride information. There was a light shower one afternoon and the Hagrid’s motorbike ride was delayed. This was reflected on the Universal app, but not this app. I didn’t believe the Universal app, but sure enough no one was allowed to queue up for Hagrid’s. In 2 days my husband and I did Velocicoaster, the hulk, rip ride rocket and dooms fear fall . With the kids we did these rides three times each: Hagrid’s motorbike, Forbidden journey, gringott’s. We did these twice each: Hogwart’s Express (each way), JP River adventure, Ripsaw falls, bilge rat barges, despicable me, MIB. And we did these once: Hippogriff, Ollivander’s, Reign of Kong, Spider man, Jimmy Fallon’s race, Pteranodon Flyer. We also got to spend plenty of leisure time in Universal street scenes, Diagon alley casting spells and exploring the shops, and ate at the leaky cauldron, three broomsticks and Mythos. Don’t be those people wandering aimlessly around, getting tired and cranky from waiting on lines, upset at missing attractions and not getting their moneys worth. This app and sunscreen are the most important things to take with you to Universal or WDW. Spend some time before you go to plan, be flexible when you’re there, and you’ll have a much more enjoyable time. We wish you a great experience!!

This app helped my family and me a lot. We went to Universal for spring break during Marti Gras, one of their busiest times. We were traveling with a 6-year-old and two special needs teens and had no clue that this would happen when we planned our trip months prior. Once we realized this, we knew that we needed a plan. So through lots of searching, we came across this app, and it was a lifesaver when it came down to knowing which rides would be the best ones to go on at a particular time. This saved us a lot of time. The only thing I had an issue with was the suggestion to get on the train and go to Islands of Adventure, then go back to Universal. ( We had the two park passes). We made our adjustment when it came to that part.

If there’s a lines app for the park I’m going to, I’m definitely using it! It has not steered me wrong. I used it in 2015 for Disney World and I used it in 2022 for Universal Studios Florida. My suggestion for the app team would be to be able to go to the ride details from the Touring Plan to see real time data and ride descriptor. I had to get out of my plan by going to the park and then finding the ride. Also, there should be a tab at the bottom for the days selected touring plan or just the present days plans. Just minor suggestions to help the user experience but I love the program! Top notch!

Loved Touring Plans for WDW! This is not that. This appears to be an old version of that. I wanted to make a Wizarding World plan but it will only let me pick one park per day on my personal plan. It’s difficult to navigate.
