Universal Orlando Resort may have a lot of projects going on inside its gates — demolition finally just began on The Lost Continent, the new Fast & Furious Hollywood Drift rollercoaster is currently being built, and an expansion could be in the works for Epic Universe — but that’s not all that’s happening in the Universal world.
Universal Kids Resort
Universal is also in the process of building an entire new theme park in Frisco, Texas, called Universal Kids Resort! The park is expected to open sometime in 2026, and as we’re getting close to halfway through the year, we’re relieved to see so much progress being made on the new resort — it gives us hope that it really WILL hit its opening timeline!
For one, the sign for the park and attached hotel is up, and looks great! Looking further into the construction site at the hotel, we can also see the Universal sign has been installed on the hotel, and those colors are really coming to life. We can also see the Universal Kids Resort sign in front of the hotel itself!
Universal sign is up on the hotel!
It looks like the hotel’s main colors, windows, foliage, decorations, and more seem to be pretty much complete, which is a great sign. We can also see the mural that was painted at the front of the hotel, which features none other than Shrek and Donkey!
It’s looking great!
Looking into the actual construction site for the park, it’s a little hard to get close and see what’s going on, but from what we can see, we can spot hints of a blue roller coaster, as well as cranes still hard at work bringing the rest of the park to life.
The park!
We can also see circular signs to direct guests on where to go — yes, the same type of signs you see over in Universal Orlando, especially near Epic Universe.
The circular signs are up too!
With so much progress being made, it’s our hope that we could hear an opening date sometime in the coming weeks! This new park will feature seven new lands: DreamWorks’ Shrek’s Swamp, Jurassic World Adventure Camp, Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants Bikini Bottom, Illumination’s Minions vs. Minions: Bello Bay Club, DreamWorks’ TrollsFest, DreamWorks’ Puss in Boots Del Mar, and the Isle of Curiosity. One thing’s for sure — we’re expecting it to be a BIG hit for kids!
We’ll be sure to keep you updated on all the latest Universal news, so stay tuned to Magical Guides!
