After months of swapping out the two Jumping Towers, both have been installed at Universal Kids Resort. These are a Jurassic World-themed drop ride.

Mack Rides water dummies have arrived at Universal Kids Resort. As you know, ride vehicles showed up when I was visiting Epic. I can't wait to see Cretaceous Coaster ride testing.

I know we aren't getting anything like this but could have been cool if they would have had one indoor roller coaster....something like this song playing with mostly even static figures or projections with a bunch if colors would have been fun....maybe we get something like that in the future. Doesn't need to be big just a smaller indoor coaster would work

Are there any indoor rides at this park? Or are we just getting Epic Universe 2.0 with a blazing hot park with no shade?

I think it's mostly outside at least from the art

You can jump on YouTube and watch drone footage inside the park at ground level from a couple weee ago (not sure if I can post it here so I won’t).

Every single ride is outside. There is a stage show that is covered in Trolls and that’s pretty much it outside of shops and restaurants (which also are most outside).

But the park is very small. 32 acres. So basically the exact size of celestial park (33 acres). And the odds of people being there a full day is slim- particularly since it will be overwhelmingly locals.

Also- it being locals- we’re more used to the sweltering heat than out of town folks. And the out of town folks won’t be from the north, unless you consider Oklahoma the north. Which we do.

It's a shame they didn't post any Bikini Bottom images.

The Minion raft ride looks actually pretty cool!

Yup it’s a kids park. Looks like what I was expecting.

My kids are gonna lose their minds at this place

I wonder how much they're going to charge for admission.

(I’m guessing $85-$90)

Park feels like it's going to be a slam dunk. Feels like a evolved and measured look at what Merlin has done with the LEGOland format, and made a park that feels like it has a good diverse-net for a wider audience. Happy the Shrek Outdoor Dark Ride stuck around.

Expecting the pricing to be around 70-95$ for Opening Year.

If this is successful, I'm curious how quickly they'd try to build other similar ones around the country.

Not doing the Krusty Krab restaurant building/facade properly is still a huge miss But hope it's successful and leads to SpongeBob in other parks (hint hint, IOA)
