In the theme park industry, there’s a tendency to always want to go big. When Disney or Universal has opened a new attraction in the last few years it’s been something literally big and exciting, like Universal’s Velocicoaster or Epcot’s Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind. The fact is most people don’t tend to make a big deal out of “little” additions to theme parks, but today Universal Orlando Resort announced plans to open a brand new land next year, that will almost certainly be “small” in many ways, and that’s why it’s brilliant.
Earlier this year, Universal Studios Florida closed the Woody Woodpecker KidZone, an area dedicated to smaller guests, and rather than replacing it with something big and exciting and meant for older guests, today Universal announced that a new land based on DreamWorks Animation will open in 2024. While few specifics were given, the new land is clearly designed to be a family environment, with attractions even the youngest guests can enjoy.
