City Walk Likes Killing Business
Submitted By: ThmPrkCrtc on 1/20/2009 8:39:00 AM
Another company embracing the idea of raising costs to consumers when times are tight, this time it's my beloved Universal.
"When we opened CityWalk 10 years ago, parking was complimentary. But now [CityWalk is] established and successful, and we're bring our parking policies more in line with other venues," he said. "We think people are used to paying for parking, especially when it's a parking structure like ours."
Another way of putting it is, hey, Pleasure Island is gone, where else are people going to go? We mide as well milk our customers, especially the ones that help build this place. Touche Mr. Schroder, Touche. I'm not used to seeing this type of stuff from Universal, not a good way to start my morning.

I am normally one to complain about price increases. but with Universal City Walk offering free admission, 3 dollars to park doesn't seem that bad. A group of kids that have no plain on using anything there can still get their car loading for less then a dollar a person.

They do, but I believe that Pleasure Island is closed now.
