DreamWorks Land (General Discussion)

[Brian G.]

From how far away in the park can you see Shrek's tree ?

Looks pretty tall but only photos I've seen are from construction wall or aerials

As soon as you exit Central Park and look right.

With Trollercoaster peeking over the left shoulder to boot.

If there’s one way this is a big improvement over Kidzone, it’s the composition of the skyline as seen from the midway. The land’s new layout feels like it utilizes weenies in a way that will more effectively draw people in than before.

I'm really excited for this land but man... I'll never get over how cheap the entrance sign is. Outside of that everything looks great for the most part at least

i mean the rumor is it’ll be replaced for open no? i get the concern tho i was v stressed abt the minion cafe sign until they added the real one! but i do think this may b a placeholder

That's a nice photo of the old Splash Mountain model ...makes me want to go on a misadventure resulting in plummeting into a briar patch

Groovy

If my snacks don't play music, I'm going to complain to guest services

Will each treat purchased come with a Trolls photocard? How many treats will be covered in edible glitter?

 

[Clive]

I agree they gotta rethink that sign. So much of the rest of the land looks eons better.

 

[Magic-Man]

How the heck are we still talking about this sign months later? It's not that big of a deal lol

The not so positive feedback internally led to a new marquee sign being made,,

That’s great news!

Edit: Things I’ve noticed
- Gong is installed
- The King is unveiled
- Boombox
- Two new swamp slides

How much is left to do on this land? Is it cosmetic things like trees etc or do they still have a fair way to go?

 

[Vic1disney]

The issue with many you listed is they have height restrictions. MIB is even higher than the 40". I believe the issue is family with NO height restriction. The fact that Seuss has height restrictions for 2 of their rides is bad. Dark rides shouldn't have height restrictions.

We found there was nothing for our youngest child to do other than push them round the park in a stroller. At least when we last went with a v. young child they could watch the parade. There’s not even this till July

Probably complete with the Shrek/Trolls portions by the end of the month, Kung Fu Panda still has a good amount of work left.

But the Shrek section looks pretty much completed. They already have lighting/foliage in place.

 

[Vic1disney]

Wish they would open by May 1st.
Tiana’s Bayou isn’t going to open by then as the shops close around it May 1st, mega parade isn’t till July…we are going to miss all the new things

 

[Wesker69]

There's a very good possibility that Shrek & Trolls will soft open by next month. A LOT can happen within a month

As for Disney, not much can happen in a month year.. but maybe if you wish upon a second star to the right, Splash Bayou will soft open (maybe, not likely, but maybe)

Depends on their height, but we went when my oldest was not even 3 and we did find some things for her to do, but that was before Disaster was removed. But there is playground in Jurassic park, kudos and kang, one fish/two fish, the suess carousal, the spinner ride in the super hero section. Not sure how tall your child is, but at 34" ET is available and at 36" additional stuff opens.

I do agree Universal is hard on families with multi-age families. I know it has always been a struggle with my family since my oldest has always loved thrills (wanted to ride Hulk at 2.5 yo) and her being the oldest which means she has shorter siblings. So oldest loves going but then what do you do with the younger ones? We did Sea World & Busch Gardens a lot because there was more to do with the younger kids. Personally the new owners of Sea World do a lot of good for animals so I don't mind going there. It was a good stop gap the last 4 years when I had thrill seekers and toddlers.

Do they often open everything (like Dreamworks land) together or do they sometimes open bits as they are finished? It’s just so limited for tots right now across Universal x

 

[Wesker69]

As I said, A LOT can happen within a month. Just expect it to be closed so you can be pleasantly surprised if any or all is available.

The park is in a weird flux right now with multiple things on the way.

 

[PerceptiveCoot]

They could always slow-role some of the opening, this is probably the kind of land where it's more important to have the capacity than it is to have a wholistic product completely ready to go.

I do think a lot of us personally thought this would be ready to roll out by spring break given typical Universal construction timelines.
