I really hope they do something like that this year since they haven't really done anything in the past (that I know of).
The price for that is $100 and eating at Citywalk would just be cheaper if you ask me. If they had a lower price that would be nice though.The benefits that would be useful is what Six Flags Magic Mountain is doing. They have the food dining pass which gets you free food all season long, and only available Lunch and Dinner only. USH should do that.
I agree but when they did have the AYCE pass it was only for about half of the places in the whole park. It would be nice if there were more options if they were to add it as a benefit.Unless if they have it available to the park and CityWalk.
Oh I know! And the desserts are quite small but when I had the pass they would let me take more than one since I would have ended up just getting in line again.Well, there's always going to be a catch. I'll give it a try if they introduce it again, but I'm usually fine with an empty stomach at the park. Theme park food has never been particularly great, but eating desserts every 30 minutes or so sounds good.
Your passes don't include parking, front of the line tour access, and discounts on merchandise right?I have no complaints here. I get my annual passes for a bargain! I do a ton of business with the Universal Backlot divisions (post production, production, sound, digital). Every year in January, the backlot employees get a major discount on the USH Annual passes at there employee backlot store. I got my annual passes last year for $38.00. This year it's $40.00. Can't beat that. We get great use out of them as well.
I'd love to contribute ideas for a new pass and sign it! I'd totally pay more if there was a more premier pass with more features, more perks, and more incentives for diehard fans!In addition to the things you listed, here are a few of the things I'd want included:I would like to see another tier created for more premium options. I would be willing, with help, to put together a petition to send to USH about new options for the Annual Pass and make options more similar to what Orlando offers. I know we do not have 2 parks, but I would like to see an Ultimate Pass which offers unlimited Valet Parking and one night of HHN of your choice for free. I would pay $250+ for something like that!
Because they'll be creating a backlog for existing Front of Line and VIP Experience holders. Universal has an incentive to sell both tickets...no way they're going to offer any of those benefits to annual pass holders and not have it create massive strain for the existing Front of Line system.I don't see why Universal WOULDN'T listen to us. We're suggesting a MORE expensive pass!
I never said the ideas themselves were ridiculous. Please read my post again.Just because you personally think it's ridiculous or wouldn't want it, doesn't mean others wouldn't see a benefit to it if they have the money and Universal was interested. It's just like someone who usually only gets the cheapest annual pass with blackout dates to have something negative against the Premium Star Pass. You don't like it or can't afford it or don't think it's worth it, don't get it.
Again, you're missing my point.You dont see me complaining about the existence of Disney's Premier Pass which gives access to Disneyland Resort AND Walt Disney World just because I dont see a need in using it. There's a saying I grew up with:
Every item has its buyers.
No, Universal has every right to be apprehensive about their fans. Some theme park fans are just obsessive, plain and simple.Universal should be thankful that it has such dedicated fans on both coasts.
They'd be ridiculous to be apprehensive of their fan base right now, in such a pivotal point in the theme parks' history. We're nowhere as nuts as some Disney fans. I see nothing wrong with making a petition for Universal to think about creating a higher tiered pass. ESPECIALLY if, like Chris said, it's well worded and includes the right stuff.
Petition doesn't always equal negativity...
Because they'll be creating a backlog for existing Front of Line and VIP Experience holders. Universal has an incentive to sell both tickets...no way they're going to offer any of those benefits to annual pass holders and not have it create massive strain for the existing Front of Line system.
I think the current benefits are quite fair. If you're looking for more, buy the VIP Experience. It's as simple as that. We're not entitled to Front of Line, special parties or what have you just because we're pass holders. Starting a petition to get these benefits is ridiculous quite frankly, and it'll only make Universal more apprehensive of the fan base.
If someone wants to start a petition, that's their right. But it won't be associated with this site.
I agree! I think Universal should make surveys available for guests (and fans). I would love to participate.We are a great fan base which would like to be available when Universal has questions for their clientele...namely, us! I would be more than willing to be a part of survey panels and such for the Universal product.
