I hate to see all of the people who haven't been to Universal so disappointed over all the closings. I hate to see everyone disappointed over the price/value ratio.
So all of you regulars, think back on your first time experiencing some of the great rides at Universal/IOA. You and I both know there is no comparison of these attractions to even the coasters at Six Flags. (Universal's attractions are so much better). Consider all the mouse has to offer (I'll grant that the mouse has a lot of good attractions too) . Now even considering that there is competion for you dollar, Imagine that you were going down for a once-in-a-lifetime trip. Try to place a price value on each attraction that you really like. How much would you pay for that one ride. Try to imagine that it's your first and only time. What would the attraction be worth.
I'll go first.

Hulk - $8
Dudley - $8
Stormforce - $2

I've tried to be as fair as I could. For me the attractions alone easily make it worth the price. One could go on and on about the themeing and food and employees, and. . . . well u get the idea.
