The Last Wish is really good. Highly recommend it whether it gets any in-park representation or not lol.

what happens to the ball factory? I thought I saw the structure untouched in a photo. I assume it could just have a retheme, just wondering if it becomes something else inside or if it keeps its ball cannons and such.

Yea, there's a reason the Universal Kids park's Shrek area is now half Puss in Boots! It was a REALLY good movie, and I think the franchise is strong on its own even without the ogre.

Permits have them reusing portions of the existing structures back there, but I believe the plan is to slap a prefabricated temple facade on the front and turn the inside into Po's Kung Fu Training attraction, whatever that means.

I believe the Ball Factory insides have been stripped away.

Thanks! That makes a lot of sense, it was just one of those hidden gems of the park to me.

I had said 'inside' but I think that area is more of an awning, I imagine they will come up with something fun for the young ones.

Since I feel the adults tended to enjoy the ball factory as much (if not more) than the young ones making it a tough act to follow ;-

Is that Turtle Talk but DreamWorks attraction still coming, or did it get replaced by this?

It is likely this, but I myself have not had any confirmation one way or another on what kind of attraction the "training" temple will be. I shared the patent for interactive animated character, which included a Panda in its illustrations, but I don't have any info about whether that would be for a meet and greet or training or not used at all.

When I heard that I imagined Turtle Talk, but with Po leading the kiddos through karate moves or something more active than talking to them while they sit on the floor. "Stand on a dot and repeat what I do." They should be getting practice staying on their dot from Minion Blast . Quite frankly, I think it'd be kinda funny watching Poh call out kids who aren't following the directions.

This is now tree stump coverage lol

 

[Wesker69]

You know, Universal could've just saved time & asked Disney for their old tree stump since Splash Mountain isn't using it anymore..

Recycling! "Green is Universal".

 

[PerceptiveCoot]

This is totally opening in the middle of summer and not spring now right?

 

[Morganxrose]

i believe Shrek/ trolls opening spring, The kung-fu panda area will be summer.

That poor E.T. entrance arch!

Hope it's still the plan to move it to a more visible spot.
