    It's ok, found it on internet there are 3 different tickets to Universal studios:
    Normal 1 day +2nd day free if bought online: $75

    If it had been that much when we went, my wife would have gone round on her own!

    I wish I could remember how much we paid. The queues were not too bad either, even for the most popular attractions like the set tour, so paying extra for a 'front of line' (queue jumping) ticket would have been a waste of money.

    My camera is an Olympus E20. It's old for a digital camera, but it has an excellent fast lens which makes night shots worth doing.
