The Express Pass is good for most rides (but only once per ride), except the most popular -- Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit, Adventure Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey and Pteranodon Flyers. Have never seen that any other amusement park. Still worth getting since it is a vacation week, but be prepared for long lines for those three rides.
Unlike Disney, it is pretty easy to do both parks in one day. They're not as large and, with the Express Pass, you can hit the rides relatively quickly. Of course, a lot depends on if you have to ride every ride. I'm a coaster freak and honestly can't be bothered with the slow stuff. The Universal side was geared more to younger children to me and I would totally skip that side the next time I go. Islands of Adventure had the best, fastest rides and, of course, Harry Potter.
