Universal Kids Resort - Frisco, Texas

[Jerroddragon]

I mean for me why I support something like a Movie, video game or event is to give them money and be like please make more products like this

If people here think this is the best Universal can do for a kids park then spread the word and support it, but I would not be interested in seeing more of this level of park. I think kids, families and theme park fans just deserve better

Like I could live with it being more like the art but even then look at how the hotel got downgraded and the final product. It's just not that well designed for anyone.


Lastly on the fact this for Kids and can't judge that's for me just a lazy excuse, I watch Bluely with no kids and love it, its because its a well done show that little kids love but so can adults. I like the Gabby Dollhouse film and Dogman but these were not made for "me" in mind either because both are well crafted and you can tell love was put into them to make them fun expediences

I've seen videos of this place and its just lacking in soooo many ways, I hope they improve it but as it is right now I just don't get why people want to defend this place like its the best or feels like any love went into this. Also as someone who just went to Dallas there is not a lack of things to do for as cheap if not cheaper with more of a value to them. But I think whether or not you compare this to other parks it just misses the mark

Jerrod, this hasn't been part of the conversation... at all...

I said IF people think this is the best, please defend this, support it and spread the world on why this is a great product.

The main point is is this what we want Universal to keep investing in, parks like these I'm saying I don't want them to if this is the effort they are going to put in them and why I'm not the "key demo". I'll do to any theme park and can enjoy it especially when I see passion, or creative ways they work around what they have.

This is the conversation, I want to have is is this a good product and from all I can see its just lacking, and needs lots of love to get to where it needs to be for the prices on higher end days especially

Right, Jerrod. I feel like you're arguing against a position that hardly anyone is taking.

Honestly, I don't think everyone's opinions are that far apart. Most people agree there are shortcomings. We just don't all agree on which ones matter the most.

That's why I keep saying the bones are good. Whether that's enough for you right now is where people start to split.

It almost feels like the pitchforks are out to the point where if you're not just as mad as everyone else, people assume you're defending the park.

Personally, I'd rather criticize what's actually in front of us than invent reasons to be even more upset. There's already enough to talk about without creating a narrative.

Genuinely asking: has there been any coverage from local TX folks? I know I saw Local News there, but I obviously am in the dark for who reps the TX blogger bubble.

Others answered already, but as they said- just mom bloggers. I know @PurpleFrog keeps her ears in that circle much more than me. But that’s what I’ve generally seen from the universal kids Facebook pages. Which allow for much more “spin” to be made for any of the reviews as it’s a more personal setting vs vloggers just yapping into a camera.

Opening it up to any national exposure wasn’t wise, in hindsight. It would still get plenty of knocks on the forums, but not nearly to the extent it did on the socials where non-theme park vloggers have jumped on the bandwagon for the clicks and audience expansion.

Guys like @Diservations are clearly going to have some bias towards liking it just like I have, as we’ve watched it go up from day one and folks that followed his content religiously will feel the same just due to excitement. And considering he’s feet on the ground; I’m looking forward to what universal may or may not do prior to July 1. Because I think they’re still going to be working on it; particularly this winter with the long seasonal closure.
