Good point :thumbsup:...Yes, Universal Execs. says 80% of all tickets are park hoppers since HE opened. I tour that way also. I almost always do both parks every day I'm there. Before HE, I rarely did both, even though they're only a short 5 minute walk away. HE is the gift (for Universal) that keeps on giving....And, yes, the parks almost always have a crowded feeling now. I usually go in slow to moderate seasons. The ride lines are often short, but the streets are still usually crowded with people. So the parks usually never feel dead.
I think 80% seems relatively low for all tickets being park hoppers or do you mean 80% of people now park hop?
I still do a day at USF, a day at IOA and then a 3rd day at both to fill the gaps.
The UOR and Disneyland model of having two parks next door with an entertainment district is by far the best model for a resort and I hope this is what Universal does with the new land.
