PRICING INDEX
What a Session Costs
Entry-level public session price at each park. Bars are scaled in US dollars at approximate exchange rates so different markets sit on one axis; the price shown flips to local currency with the toggle. Most parks charge more for advanced settings, private bookings, and peak slots; treat these as the floor, not the average.
