Let's take a look at the hard realities. As big industrial facilities, desalination plants can't be plunked down just anywhere on the coast without destroying the qualities that attract people to the shoreline. Yet the plants need to be close to customers, with room for pumps, pipelines, inflows and outfalls.
More so than ever, the price hikes seem intended to push visitors into buying multi-day theme park passes. The one-day adult admission to a single Universal Studios park is $92, while a two-day pass runs $125.99 and a three-day ticket is $140.99. In other words, if youâre buying a three-day pass, the second and third days cost a total of $49, or a little over half the price of that first dayâs admission.
A Universal Express Pass costs between $179 and $269 depending on the season, if purchased at least 24 hours in advance. It includes one day of admission, priority access to attractions (one time for each attraction), and seating in a special reserved section for shows.
