Universal Orlando Price Increases (General)

If Kong is $25, I'd hate to see Hagrid's lol

I really doubt it'll ever be offered for attractions with high express demand, like Hagrid.

Prepaid parking can now be purchased on the site a day before to save $3

Not sure where to include this... but looks like UOR is testing "single attraction" express passes now. $25 for a one-time ride on Kong or Mummy is absurd lol.

It was only a matter of time for them to follow Disney.

If that will be executed I will never set foot in Universal Studios ever again, just like I did with Disney.

Front-of-line access, whether free or paid, was one of the worst developments in the history of the theme park industry (from a guest vantage point).

I think it's meant to work in conjunction with, not as a replacement.

I seem to recall that a decade or so ago Universal had a plate of different types express/fast pass tiers available, and with
different names. It was quite confusing.
But, I don't recall individual ride passes offered.

They had Express and Q-Bot a LONG time ago. Q-Bot was sort of a mess and thankfully they got rid of it.

Yeah, that's it. I couldn't remember the name. It was a confusing mess for sure.

I'm no fan of a single express pass, but I wonder if they did offer it on top tier rides like a Hagrid's:

1. Would that push people to get that instead of unlimited, so then putting less people overall into all of the Express queues?
2. Would it be seen as a revnue line (similar to how Disney views it) to justify higher budget points when creating new rides?

Either way, $25 for Mummy or Kong is ridiculous. They'd definitely have to tinker with the options.
