Well, Universal has dropped a lot of details about the new resort, Universal Kids Resort, including what lands it will include and what kind of rides the theme park will have. The park will be themed for families, and it’s expected to open sometime this year! Well, we’ve got some new photos of the construction progress of the new theme park, and it’s really moving along!

Universal Kids Resort will feature seven themed lands, including 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. Yes, that’s some of your favorite Universal properties!

Now, we drove by the construction site to see if we could spot any progress, and one thing we immediately noticed when driving by was that there are now road signs up for the new theme park! One highway sign points to Universal Parkway, where the new theme park will be located.

We also saw some signs pointing drivers to parking for the theme park and hotel (yep, there’s going to be a hotel), as well as to where rideshare drop-off and pick-up will be. SWEET.

Parking signs

As for the park itself, most of what you can see from the road is the hotel, but we spotted a big “Universal” sign on the top of the hotel. The hotel will have a total of 300 rooms and will also serve as the entrance to the theme park.

The hotel and entrance

Here’s a look at the hotel and entrance from another angle. As you can see, it’s going to be bright and colorful and inspired by the themed lands in the theme park.

It’s so colorful!
