Yes, Pteranodon Flyers is the only one I can think of and I never ride it because its just DH and I. There are no shows that I've ever used EP for or ever needed EP for.
I feel like this information is probably out there somewhere, but I'm having trouble finding it. Does anyone know of a list of the rides and shows that are NOT included with Express Pass? Thanks!
If the new Harry Potter ride will be open on your next visit, we do not yet know if it will accept express pass.
We use EP for the Horror Makeup Show. EP gets the first few rows. Not necessary by any means, but it is nice to get a bit closer.Yes, Pteranodon Flyers is the only one I can think of and I never ride it because its just DH and I. There are no shows that I've ever used EP for or ever needed EP for.
I did some googling but wasn’t able to find anything about an opening date other than “2019”. Any rumors about when that will open? I’m guessing pretty much zero chance it’ll be open by mid-February?
Years and years ago (before there were any Harry Potter lands) we rope-dropped Pteranodon Flyers simply because it was the only ride without Express, my kids really wanted to do it, and the lines tended to be pretty long.
Here's hoping for HHN!I don't have anything more than 2019 either, but the ride is still under construction, so I would assume summer/fall opening.

We have also used it at Animal Actors. EP gets let in first, so you can pick out seats that work best for you.
Oh absolutely. OP didn’t say they were on the fence, so I didn’t answer with that in mind.Yes, there are shows that have EP, but none that *need* EP in order to see it. If someone were on the fence about buying EP, I wouldn't consider EP at the shows to be a selling point. But, valid point that you do get better seating at these shows much like FP+ shows at WDW.

Nice to have, yes. Need to have, no.
The shows at Universal typically don’t get so crowded that you couldn’t find a decent seat using standby - even showing up at the last minute.
My point was more - if you have EP already, you can use it for the shows.
We have rope dropped PF every year since HP does have EP and PF doesn't. The lines do get very long.
I am an adult without young kids and I have always wanted to do PF. Waiting for the grandkids, lol, but it may be gone by then. Oh well.
