Universal Kids Resort - Frisco, Texas

Maybe they built it this way so psychos like us (Universal theme park fans) would stay away.

"Please don't descend on our parks for vlogs!"

Legoland looks like Disney Sea compared to this place. And yeah it’s not supposed to be a destination park but again I believe there will be a certain level of minimum expectations that will be missed due to brand affiliation.

Also fwiw I’ve got 3 kids. 2 of the 3 would have loved this place at the appropriate age. So just to clarify the majority of small children will absolutely love this place and have a ball. But how the parents will be at the price point and overall quality of the product will be something to watch.

I think over time following the build you saw what it was gonna be but initial concept art was thinking more DreamWorks land and Camp Jurassic level kids park.

the horrible, no good, very bad Shrek ride.

This is not a terrible concept for a B-ticket, non-traditional "expanded flat ride" type of experience... but holy smokes is that barren.

Tinker Bell's Busy Buggies at DisneySea is basically this same kind of thing, but executed with high-level theming.

I think this is probably true, though I do wonder how the lack of shade will impact word of mouth this summer.

It’s not like anyone expects anything less than hot as the surface of the sun. This is Texas.

We know what we’re getting into with July and August. Not a surprise.

Busy Buggies is soooo cute and well themed. I wouldn’t wait long for it, but when we did it as a walk-on … Loved it.

No reason (apart from Comcast saying NO money) for this new park to not have beautiful theming for b-ticket rides.

Honestly, this feels on par with the Peppa Pig “theme park”. Which…is a choice. I’m glad kids will love it, but will the product be enough for parents to purchase more than once?

“I wanna go to universal!”

“We have universal at home”

…this is the universal at home…

I don't want to compare this to a DisneySea ride, since that's a completely different beast. But if Legoland is the benchmark for the type of park they're aiming for, then we can compare the "the horrible, no good, very bad Shrek ride: their dino safari rides. Those are much lusher based on the footage, atmosphere, and scene design.

Yeah, atm this feels a step below Legoland, but above Peppa Pig Park in terms of quality and scale.
