Guests will be able to choose from three-, four-, or five-day tickets, with only one of those days at Epic Universe and the rest at Universal Studios Florida or Universal Islands of Adventure. Universal Volcano Bay water park tickets can also be added. Three-day tickets will range from $352 to $521, depending on the dates. That works out to between $118 to $174 per park per day. Like many theme parks, Universal Orlando has dynamic pricing. Additional pricing details are available on Universal's website. Guests who bundle multi-day tickets with stays at one of Universal Orlando's 11 hotels will be able to save up to $200 as part of their vacation package. Then, on October 24th, Universal Orlando annual passholders will get to be the first to buy specially priced single-day Epic Universe tickets. Pricing will be revealed that same day. Each passholder will only be able to purchase one add-on ticket per date, with a limit of six tickets per purchase transaction to accommodate passholders with other passholders linked to their accounts.

This is exciting. Anytime a new park opens, it's a boon to all, and Universal is certainly swinging for the fences with this one. I personally am looking forward to Dark Universe, as I have wanted a Universal Monsters theme park my entire life.
