Universal Orlando Price Increases (General)

[Parkscope Joe]

It would be a nightmare for HHN, but I don't think we need to worry about that lol

HHN doesn't have unused Express capacity to spare for this anyway. It's a very specific product offered in a very specific way. Universal absolutely wants you to do one $120+ purchase over one or two $25 ones.

I believe what Joe is trying to convey is that there is no other option for Disney. It’s just LL.

With Universal, they’re offering this in conjunction with their normal Express offerings. They’d prefer if you invested in that, but if you’re adamant that you just want a specific attraction, you gotta pay.

Right, but I guess in my mind, the scarcity at Disneyland feels like it would be a higher price.

With Kong already included in the (albeit very expensive) regular option, and being a ride most people these days aren’t jumping at the bit to experience (subjective opinion), the price point seems like a “maybe we’ll catch a few stragglers on the fly paper, but the majority will fly right by” kind of situation.

Is it even worth the implementation, at this price point? I mean, I guess that extra $600 a day they’ll get is something … (exaggerating of course)

I don’t think we really can compare and properly assess since at the end of the day, this is a test run - and we’re not exactly sure what they’re testing for.
