It's also more expensive than the other parks. Universal Studios and Islands of Adventures one-day park tickets start at $119 per day, though, of course, like higher demand days can be even more expensive. And Epic Universe, if you just want that one-day park pass, is $139 per day at the start. So, Sally, is this park $20 better? Megan, it is so much more than $20 better.

Wow. Matthew is such a super fan, and he's a huge fan of the Dark Universe, which is one of the new lands. There's a bunch of lands that you kind of talked about a little bit earlier from this main Celestial Park area. There's a new Harry Potter land and a Super Nintendo land. Both of those already have versions at Universal's other theme parks in Florida and California.

More on those power-up bands later. But I'm still honestly surprised how popular the gift store is because as a theme park lover myself, that's an end-of-the-day activity for me. And even then, it's something I try to avoid if I'm trying to save money at the park.
