Considering that a 3-day pass for Jurassic Park was supposed to cost $550 in 1993...

Wonder how much they would charge on coupon day or is this a coupon day price?

What would merch like t-shirts for example and food cost at the park?

And would inflation make the costs of visiting higher or would when the novellity and possibly the coolness factor wears off and possibly less people want to visit, the prices stay mostly the same or become even a bit less?

Yeah, it seems cheap for what it is, but I bet Hammond planned a massive mark up on transportation to the island, food and drink on the island, and accommodation.

The "low" park fee is a trap.

I agree. Just wondering what the prices for the tours, rides, special attractions, merch, food and transportation would be like in dollars.
 
My guess is that a one-day pass would not be exactly one-third of the three-day pass, but instead would be higher than that. That would get more people to buy the three-day pass because it's a "better deal."

Book Hammond: no question. Movie Hammond: I honestly think he was in earnest about keeping the entry bar as low as possible so as many people as possible could come and visit.
Not that the latter approach is without some sense of mercantile profit; after all a hundred thousand people paying $1000 a head vs. a billion people paying just a dollar each? The dollar ticket nets you an order of magnitude more income (and that's without the merch sales, where the real money always comes from.)
The only limitation is the throughput capacity.

I would think that the one-day pass would be between 40 and 50% of the price of the three day pass.
