Amusement parks and resorts have had a roller coaster year because of the coronavirus, and one theme park hopes to draw guests with a special offer for those who serve.

For the first time, Universal Orlando is offering discounted park passes for military members and their families. The new Military Freedom Pass gives guests access to multiple parks on the same day, valid through Dec. 31, 2021 with no blackout dates to boot, WESH reported on Tuesday.

Pricing starts at $199.99, per adult, for access to the Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, bumping up to $234.99 for additional access to Volcano Bay.
