6 Reasons Why Universal Orlando's VIP Tours Are Great

4. Ride In The Best Seats

When it came to riding the attractions we didn't just skip the queues, we also got to sit in the best seats.

Our guides were really knowledgeable about where the best places to sit on each attraction. So for Dragon Challenge we rode one coaster at the front and the other in the back row. Personally, I preferred the back row but the great thing about the VIP pass is you can go on so many times you can work out yourself your own favourite.

Being roller coaster fans, our guide arranged for us to sit in the very back row of Escape from Gringotts so that the hill drop would feel more dramatic. Having ridden it before in the middle of the cart I was surprised how much steeper the the drop felt just a few seats back.

My first time riding The Incredible Hulk Coaster was in the very front row and it was awesome. Nothing quite like seeing the track suddenly turn away from you as you are shooting out of the tunnel.

It was brilliant that even though we skipped the queue we weren't just bundled into any available seats, our party was kept together and we all got the best seats in the house on every attraction.
