Universal Kids Resort - Frisco, Texas

[krazyhorrorkid]

Man, that came up out of nowhere!
Universal is really trying to cement their territory.

I’m pretty excited to see more people around the The States viewing new experiences from Universal.
This isn’t just deadly for Texas competition, it’s for everyone in the industry as this will create more exposure to Universal parks and will build more loyal customers in the long run.

Here's one more (fan made):

So Universal's take on a Sesame or Legoland

Seems like a fun idea to try

I think it may just work

On second thought, Madagascar probably won't make it in. It's not a huge thing on the level of Minions/Kung Fu Panda/HTTYD. So that won't be here.

Madagascar is about on par in terms of overall size. Madagascar 3 is one of DreamWorks highest grossing movies. I'd actually argue its bigger than Dragons, but Dragons is easier to incorporate into theme parks because the nature of the IP. It also has a far more dedicated fanbase.

Agreed. Meet & greets make sense, but I don't see them building out a whole area based on Madagascar > Minions.

I must be dreaming, will come back in ten minutes.

Sooooo will any of this translate to the Kidzone project

Park name idea: Destination DreamWorks :bow:

Would be a good idea. You want it to be a destination but you don't want it to dilute the brand of larger Universal parks.

Bio's gonna have to stretch his teleportation powers to the limit if he wants to cover this though.

Probably. I wouldn't be surprised if KZ is just a mini version of this.

But. . . is Camp Cretaceous Dreamworks?

yep, it’s coproduced by Uni, Amblin, and DW

 

[ReelJustice]

I’m going to compartmentalize this project, and tell myself that it has no bearing on anything happening in Florida.

But I’d be lying if I said my first gut reaction wasn’t that I’d prefer if Universal spent the resources and time they’re going to apply to this on a California Adventure style overhaul at Universal Studios Florida.

I admire your commitment to the bit. Please never change.

I love this, we so rarely get new parks. I don't care if its smallish, if this does well we could see more mini parks and im sure Universal would invest more in the mini parks that are doing well.

Gives me hope as well that maybe....maybe we can have a fully mini Nintendoland somewhere.

This is just great news could also push Disney to do the same or other parks try this as well. What a great way to start the year

So. . . Is that a hotel at the front of the gate?

 

[PerceptiveCoot]

Could this water ride in the center of the campus be a realization of the spinning flume ride patent from 2018? Unless the ride path is simply a counterclockwise loop and doesn't go into the Camp Cretaceous area.

 

[jarmor]

^ I doubt it.

For anyone interested, here's a link to the video I mentioned that included Minions and Secret Life of Pets...

Really don't want to be here for the hissy fit if Secret Life of Pets gets announced for Texas and not Florida.

No Baby Boss diaper changing station?
Anyone?

Rn, I'm going to just say they showed those IP for demonstration purposes. I feel like it'll be all DreamWorks because it'll be easier to market. If you make it a combo of Illumination and DreamWorks, you'll have to call the park something something Universal (or they could just not use Universal branding at all and just use a generic name, but I don't think that's going to happen). I dont think they should use the Universal branding, as separate branding will make sure people know this is its own separate thing.
