Hold onto your hats, friends, because something brand NEW just dropped at Universal Studios Hollywood!
Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift has now been open for a few months and has been a major hit, and while we did see it (sort of) added to Express Pass, that’s not the change we’re talking about. If you love visiting the parks as many times as you can, but don’t want to pay each time, you’ve likely got an Annual Pass. Now, there’s a NEW Annual Pass that has just arrived that you need to know about!
This new pass is called the Diamond Annual Pass and will cost you $999.95. If you decide to purchase it online instead of in person, you’ll also save $10! So, what makes this pass different from the other Annual Passes currently available? Well, this is now the highest tiered Annual Pass, which also means it comes with the most amount of perks. With this pass, you’ll get:
- No blockout dates across all 12 months (a great deal if you’re planning on going near the holidays!)
- Universal Express Access from Park open (one-time per day) to each ride, attraction, and seated show
- One complimentary General Admission to Halloween Horror Nights
- One complimentary General Admission to Universal Fan Fest Nights
- One complimentary VIP Experience Ticket
- Free Parking in General Parking
Those are some AMAZING deals, especially because tickets for after hours events and VIP tours themselves can quickly add up. If you don’t want to drop all that money at once, you can also use FlexPay to pay off the pass throughout the year. You’ll make a down payment of $449.95 with 0% APR, and then you’ll pay the remaining balance over the course of the next 11 months. This comes out to about $50 a month, which is often much more affordable for most people.
Don’t forget that if you renew your Annual Pass, you can save 15%, which would be $849.95 for the Diamond Annual Pass — that’s over $100 worth of savings! If this isn’t the pass for you, there are also four other passes available:
- California Neighbor Pass ($179.95)
- Silver Annual Pass ($219.95)
- Gold Annual Pass ($299.95)
- Platinum Annual Pass ($599.95)
