Just a few months after opening their third theme park in Orlando, Florida<\/a>, Universal<\/a> is already getting ready to open their next big park \u2014 and their first away from their hubs in Orlando and Hollywood.<\/p>\n The Universal Kids Resort<\/a> is located in Frisco, Texas, near Dallas. As the name suggests, it\u2019s geared toward a younger, family-friendly audience than the typical Universal parks. Instead of properties like\u00a0Fast & Furious<\/em>,\u00a0The Mummy<\/em>, and\u00a0Harry Potter<\/em>, the new park\u2019s seven lands are all inspired by movies and shows for kids, including\u00a0Shrek<\/a><\/em>,\u00a0Puss in Boots<\/a><\/em>, and\u00a0SpongeBob SquarePants<\/a>. <\/em>The closest to something for older kids and teens is\u00a0Jurassic World<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n The basic layout and the different lands were revealed last month, but now Universal has confirmed some further details about the rides contained in each section of the park.\u00a0You can concept art of every section of the park, along with descriptions of the attractions below.<\/p>\n Here is the latest on Universal\u2019s new Kids Resort, located in Frisco, Texas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n READ MORE:<\/strong> Why Does Every Theme Park Ride Have the Exact Same Premise?<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Universal also confirmed some details about the food in the park (something that is obviously of great interest to me<\/a>). They do note that in the Shrek swamp area \u201cShrek\u2019s triplets\u2019 favorite eats will be served at Swamp Snacks including the Shrekzel.\u201d That would be a pretzel served in the shape of Shrek\u2019s head. It even comes with green cheese sauce that looks like creamy boogers. (It is already available in other Unviersal theme parks.)<\/p>\n I would have assumed the\u00a0SpongeBob<\/em> restaurant would be the Krusty Krab \u2014 but no. Instead, it\u2019s another eatery from the series: Goofy Goober\u2019s, which at Universal Kids Resort will supposedly offer a menu of \u201cchicken sandwiches, salads, hot dogs and sky-high sundaes. That\u00a0choice surprises me. Why would\u00a0Universal skip out on the chance to sell Krabby Patties to hungry\u00a0SpongeBob\u00a0<\/em>fans who\u2019ve been dying\u00a0to try one for years? (Perhaps the fact that other restaurants are making their own\u00a0<\/a>SpongeBob\u00a0<\/em>menus<\/a> in recent years has something to do with this decision.)<\/p>\n Universal Kids Resort is expected to open in Frisco, Texas in 2026.<\/p>\nUniversal Kids Resort: Full Details and Concept Art<\/h2>\n
