I know that many of the queues are part of the ride experience. Which rides have queues that I would miss things by using the Express Pass line? Is there a list somewhere?
I’ve been reading a Universal guide book and the author recommends going all the way through the Forbidden Journey and Gringotts ride queues at least once, and also says that Kong and, I think, MIB have story elements to the queues that will be missed if you use single rider or express.I know that many of the queues are part of the ride experience.

My biggest consideration would be how many days you will be at USO. If it is a short trip, then I would only use Express and save time. The only exception, for me, might be if there are big-time Harry Potter fans in the group. In that case, I would use Early Entry and go through the regular queues once and then use Express every time after that (Forbidden Journey, Gringott's, and Hogwarts Express (you would miss the walking through the wall effect - be sure to look for it ahead of you in line). I wouldn't bother going through the regular line for Flight of Hippogryph though. If you visit after the new HP ride opens, then that is anyone's guess about the regular vs. Express line, but I would assume the new ride will have an interesting queue (if there even is an Express option this year - there is no indication that there will be an Express line this year).
Express skips a lot for Mummy, Spiderman, E.T., Trolly in the Sky, and maybe Transformers (I rarely ride that).
