Universal Kids Resort - Frisco, Texas

[Freak]

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)

Yeah thank you Wendy's.

My oldest son loves dinosaurs but won't ride River Adventure yet (obviously not Velocicoaster either

He will LOVE this place. My only real Epic critique looks like it may be valid here as well; where's the shade?

What's everyone thinking for the opening date on this thing?

 

[Andysol]

Each land says more details to come. I wonder if we're going to get a land reveal every week like they did with Epic.

I hope this does well, I do wish we could get some more rides that felt more like themed rides then just names but I am going to this next summer

So just hoping its a really nice place for everyone, hoping for lots of characters and photo ops

I'm most excited for the Jurassicland and see what that has to offer

Mr. DNA's Double Helix Spin is now vertical at Universal Kids Resort.

A few more

I hope this does well

This is going to be an ultra-successful park. My guess is it well vastly outperform their expectations. To the point they'll likely build more of these than originally planned because of the success; but none will match the success of this park. I cannot stress enough how affluent, kid focused and opportune of an area that this is. They could not have picked a better location, IMO.

I agree it will do well, I'm just saying a dark ride or two would not have hurt the park or even some walk through attractions. Its cool for kids to get to see these characters but would not mind more immersive attractions

I hope they hold the breaks even if this first one does well, I know most wont believe me but we are heading into a time when the AI bubble will pop and it what is keeping the Stock market so high and when it pops it will be as bad if not worst then the recession in 2008.

But yes, I do agree the model is great and think can easily work around the country and world. Heck if they can do ones with Nintendo or Potter as well, it wont matter if its all flat rides those will draw guests just for the photo ops

Adding to this--This will be for a lot of Texans too, their first genuine "Theme Park" in a full on attempt of immersion. While not for the whole family like a Universal park, this is a massive moment that hasn't really been seen in Texas (and has been only really attempted through failed concepts. Remember that EarthSea concept?!).

Rhonda's Trollfest Express cars are back in the staging lot at Universal Kids Resort. And this time, we can kinda see Rhonda herself.

The SpongeBob mural is going up at Universal Kids Resort hotel. I'll get better-lit pics tomorrow. The sun is setting way too early for my taste.

All details released for this today, and I just have to say...

Universal has to be trolling at this point, right? A dedicated Spongebob land with NO KRUSTY KRAB?

Most of it sounds good enough but....insane the restaurant is not included

Glad some of the rides do have mini storys like the Shrek ride and Spongebob boating ride

 

[TheUniC6]

I hope Shrek's presence in this park leads to the IP getting a fully fledged ride at USF, perhaps as a phase 2 of DreamWorks that replaces Springfield.

Krusty Krab not happening is so weird. There's no way they just chose that, right? Paramount had to say it was off limits or something...

 

[mccgavin]

Perhaps they didn't want to build The Krusty Krab because of the expectations that come with it. Based on the early concept, The Krusty Krab was going to be a counter-service stand with no interior. This park doesn't appear to have any proper sit-down restaurants, and I can't imagine the food on offer is going to be anything special. They may not want to mislead people into thinking there is a "real Krusty Krab" if they have no intention to meaningfully deliver on that premise.
