I go to theme parks as often as possible, but most of the time I find myself there in my professional capacity as somebody who writes about theme parks for a living. As such, I often go to parks alone and only spend a day or two there, not really getting the same experience that a family on vacation would have. But earlier this month, I did take my family to Legoland Resort in California, one of the first full theme park vacations for my family as it currently is, (my Dollywood trip was the first) and I realized something… something about Universal Destinations and Experiences.
You see, Universal is building a new theme park, one that is specifically geared toward families with young children. While most details are still unknown, the concept makes it sound a lot like a Legoland park, and having now spent some time there, it makes me realize just how different this sort of park is from what Universal has done before, and just how much work it will be to get it right.
