It finally became official yesterday: DreamWorks Animation is now fully owned by Comcast, and thus of course NBC/Universal.
To celebrate, a very interesting tweet was sent out prominently featuring USH:
You may notice Shrek and Fiona from the current line-up, as well as the Universal monsters, Gru, a raptor, Marilyn and Woody. Alex from Madagascar and Puss in Boots are current existing walkaround characters that have existed in Singapore, but looks like USH may have copies now.
Yet you'll notice two brand-new, never-before-seen walkarounds from any Uni park: Po from Kung Fu Panda and the one that is currently attracting the most online buzz, that of Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon. (hopefully a Hiccup face character would accompany him)
Right now space is rather tight in USH as HHN and Grinchmas are about to take a hold of the rest of the year. Yet there are still some possibilities of where the four new walkarounds featured (Alex and Puss are new to USH) could start showing up soon. After all, you don't just make a Toothless costume just for a publicity photo!
One possible location may be Universal Plaza in the near future. If the Globe Theater is utilized for Grinchmas, we could see a setup in either there or Plaza. Or they may just be waiting for January to come, and that's when the characters will find a home for a M&G.
Do you guys have any thoughts on where and when we might be seeing these characters in the park?
