Posted at 3:25 PM EDT (1925 GMT)

Apr. 5th, 2004 -- For the second time in this short year, Universal Orlando has raised admission prices. The admission jump comes after Disney raised admission prices to its Orlando parks.

The single-day admission price to both Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure is now $54.75, jumping 80 cents. Universal Orlando and Sea World Orlando both jumped their admission prices by $2.00 earlier in the year.

Park officials say that new attractions in the park are the reason why admission prices jumped twice in four months.
