The ferry only departs from 9:30 am, so not the best way to get to the park to beat the queues, but is a nice way to end the day if you leave before 8pm.

Reserve and Ride (Universal Wonderland) Don’t get frustrated waiting in long queues, jump to the front of the lines with an Express Pass! There is a fee charged for these. The Universal Express Pass shortens your waiting time for designated popular attractions. There's no way you'd get me on this, but it is hugely popular, having some of the longest queues in the park. It features two massive inversions that soar high above the park and runs at a frankly terrifying 100km/h. It's the world's longest flying rollercoaster as riders are suspended and ride face down.
The Flying Dinosaur is unique to Universal Studios Japan. It reminds me a little of the JAWS ride - only a bit more sophisticated and thrilling. It finishes with a T-Rex attack that plunges rafts down an 85ft drop. Riders climb into rafts which wend their way through the Jurassic landscape of the movie, dodging an array of dinosaurs as they go. Jurassic Park - The Ride is a water-based attraction. This area of the park has gradually expanded since it originally opened. Then, if you have the stomach for it, fly over Jurassic Park with your body dangling straight down on the terrifying The Flying Dinosaur ride.
