Universal Studios Tours Annual Passes And Special Effects Stages

By: suegold Home | Recreation-and-Sports


If you live near Universal Studios, or in the Los Angeles area, you should consider purchasing annual passes for Universal Studios Tours. Annual passes are reasonably priced, and will most likely save you money on admission throughout the year. Several different levels of annual passes are available.



A regular annual pass for Universal Studios costs $65. With this pass, you will be granted twelve full months of admission to the park, 15% savings on general admission for up to six of your guests, 10% off of all merchandise, and 10% off the price of all food and beverages purchased inside the park.



You will also be given exclusive offers and invitations to special events that are held throughout the year. Some black-out dates do apply to regular annual pass holders. You can upgrade to a deluxe annual pass for $75. This pass will entitle you to all of the things that a regular pass does, with one exception. No black-out dates will apply to you.



The best value is the premium annual pass, which costs $99. This pass will entitle you to twelve months of admission to the park, invitations to special events held throughout the year, exclusive offers, and 15% savings on general admission prices for six of your guests, 10% off the price of merchandise, 10% off the price of food and beverages purchased inside the park, and no black-out dates. Additionally, you will be entitled to free parking during box office hours, and front of the line access at Studio Tour.



If you plan to visit Universal Studios twice in one year, an annual pass is the most logical choice. General admission for Universal Studios Tours for just one day costs $55. If you visit twice in one year that is a total of $110! You can get a premium annual pass for just $99! What this essentially means is that if you purchase an annual pass, you are really only paying for two days at the park, and any additional days are the park are actually free!



As an annual pass ticket holder, you may not be entitled to other admission discounts that are available. However, you may be entitled to special discounts on the annual pass in certain situations. For instance, if you are a member of the Military, you may be eligible for special prices on annual passes. Contact Universal Studios Tours for more information about any special prices or discounts that you may be eligible for.



The Universal Studios Tours Special Effects Stages


When you visit Universal Studios, the Special Effects Stages is an attraction that should not be missed. This is not only a great way to learn and understand how special effects are done in the movies; it is also a great deal of fun. It is really quite interesting to see how it all comes to life in Hollywood!



There are three Special Effects Stages: The Virtual Studio, The Creature Factory, and The Sound Lab. Remember that this is an interactive attraction, so you will be able to create your very own special effects. You will learn many of the special effects secrets used in major movies, such as The Hulk, The Mummy Returns, Jurassic Park, and many others. There are Universal Staff members available to help with the effects.



The special effects stages are not designed for people who have medical conditions that may be affected by strobe lights, or anything resembling strobe light effects. People with sensitive ears should avoid this attraction, or bring and use earplugs. The Special Effects Stages are located on the lower lot at Universal Studios.
