Universal Crowd Calendar Report – February 8 to 14, 2015
Each day last week, crowds at Universal Orlando Resort came in at or below levels predicted by our Universal Crowd Calendar. The beginning of the week was particularly slower than expected but then crowds picked up by midweek and continued through the weekend.
Let’s look at how the crowd levels stacked up each day last week on the TouringPlans.com Universal Orlando Resort Crowd Report:

Sunday’s crowd levels were lower than expected at both parks although despite missing by two levels on the resort-wide prediction, not drastically so at the parks. For example, we saw average waits like 13 minutes at Disaster (predicted 18) and 20 at Doctor Doom’s Fearfall (predicted 26). |

Friday’s bump in attendance is likely due to guests arriving for the long holiday weekend (Presidents Day). We saw waits like 20 for Men in Black and 52 at Forbidden Journey. |
