Simpsons was simply a theming of an area where there was an already existing ride. TF is fun, but eh if you went on Spidey during the day and CityWalk renovations aren't something that has been too publicized by Universal to the GP. It makes the place look better, but it's CityWalk (same with CB... I know I mentioned new hotels, but I was just talking resort enhancements).
Point is, you can't use something you updated or added outside of the actual parks as a reason to up the prices. Plus those are just money makers on their own. Everything being added (for the post part) will be inside of a park - either the existing parks or VB. The only things we know of besides that is Sapphire and the NBA replacement. There's A LOT coming in the parks that are either D's or E's down the pipeline. VB itself will cause a major restructuring.
Listen, I get there's a lot coming, but a lot has come before too. I can explain away Hulk, Fallon, and F&F in similar ways you explained away Transformers and Simpsons. I'm sure prices will rise, but I'm not convinced they will as steeply as you do until it happens. UOR has shown a pretty decent commitment to keeping their APs happy.
And I have serious doubts Volcano Bay will affect current AP pricing or tiers. I expect it to have its own AP separate from the other parks.
