    Why never again? because of $133 ? or you did not like the park. I like Universal Studios , VR attractions are cool. There is one ride called Mummy. It's super !

    It was too expensive, the lines for the rides were too long , crowds were too big and just not worth it . The Spiderman ride and Kong Skull Island were the best rides.

    i don't do lines.

    nothing is that great, to make me stand, in the hot sun all day long, for one stinking ride...i'd not miss out on other things waiting in any line.

    well, we can't all get discount tickets now can we..??

    when the day comes you no longer get those discounts and you gotta pay full price, let us know how that feels shelling out more money than you used to.

    Good money, great hours being as how most shops run 24/7 so you can kinda work whenever you want as long as the work gets done. It's actually not that hard to get into but it's hard to hit the top tier in most shop shop because most people that think they can weld can't. I kinda fell into it because my dad was a welder that had his own shop on the farm so I grew up around it. Most community colleges have night courses that will get you a 3g cert and a decent understanding of all basic processes. Here in Florida that's good for about $25/hr. If you practice and get your 6g you can go on the road to the pipelines and make up to $500/day but the work is very inconsistent due to environmental work stoppages. I think they are currently paying like $33/hr at the shipyard in Tampa, that is the hard job to get that everyone wants but it's really really hard work. I make really good money but production work in the shop just isn't for me, I find it agonizingly boring lol.

    if no discount i would not go there often. it's expensive. Not only the ticket. the bottle of water is $6 at Universal Studios. Slice of pizza and a soda is $15-18.
