Hi Laura. That is a dilemma, the Harry Potter rides are a big part of the experience, while I enjoyed other parts of USJ it was HP that I went to see. The whole area is incredibly well done and we spent a lot of time just wandering through, sipping butterbeer, looking in Hogsmeade windows and watching the pop up shows. It is fun to explore but I don't envy you deciding whether it is worth the price when you can't do the rides too, that would be difficult.

I don't know if you will also be visiting Tokyo but there is a new Harry Potter studio tour opened up there, it only opened last month so I haven't had a chance to get to that yet but it's in the spirit of the London one but not a direct copy, it's all themed up including the local train stations you will likely arrive throught, Seibu Ikebukuro as Kings Cross (your departure) and Seibu Toshimaen (your arrival) as Hogsmeade. Early reviews say it is excellent and I can't wait to get back to see it, it's interactive but not rides so might be ideal for you if you are going through Tokyo at some point in your trip.

Congratulations, and enjoy your trip.

Thanks!

Hi Karon. I've never worked for Universal Studios so don't I know how the staff arrangements work between them, we just love theme parks. Your corporate sales team might be able to help.
