Universal Kids Resort - Frisco, Texas

For Gabby's Doll house show?

Universal filed a trademark for Universal Kids Resort Theater, complete with artwork.

Oh that's interesting. I didn't realize we would have anything like this, unless maybe it's in the hotel?

Thanks for getting all of those pics by the way! We're in the Farmer's Branch area and only journeyed out on foot. We saw way too many people driving like morons to risk it.

Possibly! It does have Isle of Curiosity vibes.

Thanks! The logo has a similar style to the Café and Store logos. Those are in Isle of Curiosity (connected to the hotel). So that's what we're thinking.

My two drives over were fine if not for a few of those drivers you mentioned. Thankfully, I steered clear. I only broke traction inside my own neighborhood.

I’m thinking hotel too, but being that it shares space with Isle of Curiosity, it could be a deal where it’s accessible to both park and hotel guests. Like maybe it’s shared space, in that when the park is closed, it’s open to hotel guests, and when the park is open, it’s closed to hotel guests. Otherwise, it would be a major PITA to check park tickets every time.

This could be one of those safe cool down calm down spaces. Air conditioned and heated, hopefully calm, where guests can sit down or lie down and relax, experiencing universal IPs via film. I don’t know if they plan on only showing IP tied to the park itself, or universal cartoon shorts, or classic Universal kid franchises like The Land Before Time, and An American Tail, possibly classic DreamWorks 2D films as well.

Yes, “if we wanted to watch a movie from 20-40 years ago, we could do that for free at home!” But “isle of curiosity” seems more than just flex space that could easily change if and when Gabby is no longer relevant to young kids. It looks like a place that wants to encourage and cater to that curiosity. A parent probably won’t want to stay for an entire movie, especially if it’s already 30 minutes in, but may if the kid falls asleep, or if the child is interested enough, they will decide to watch it later at home, possibly even together as a family. Sounds a bit crazy, but it’s possible.

These are great ideas. Disney cruise ships' theaters show movies that are available in the cabins and at home on Disney+. That doesn't keep people from filling those seats. Grab a popcorn and see a film in the ideal format.

With UKR closing at 6 PM most nights, a movie theater would be a great option for after-hours entertainment.

Bello Bay Golf Cart Derby Vehicles have arrived at UKR. These Zamperla Demolition Derby vehicles come with golf bags and yellow and purple Minions.

I think they should throw a giant curveball and built the Jurassic World Adventure ride from Beijing here.

Now I wouldn't mind that, but I think the 4 year olds might.

They could just tone it down a little. What would be absolutely amazing is if that large building is actually a Minions Mayhem type ride in that you get into a JP/JW styled jeep, or even a 90s JP Ford Explorer (because I can’t see how a gyrosphere would work), and then it becomes a motion simulator of some kind. It wouldn’t be a “dark ride.” It would be a 4D movie experience. It could be like the Nemo & Friends SeaRider at Tokyo Disney Sea, and you just calmly ride around the “park” seeing various dinosaurs in a safe setting, so not to upset/frighten the little ones when some random adult guest asks “Where’s the goat?!”

But in reality, it’s probably just a discovery center, and the currently being used for storage expansion pad/lot/land north of it could one day become that, once the park is deemed profitable and a success.

Your ideas are way beyond the scope of this park. But again, I. Would. Not. Mind.

Which building are you talking about?

That and the whole "No dark rides" stipulation when Frisco approved the park

This building is a discovery center, and probably not a 4D attraction:


A future Jurassic World attraction could go here, in the upper middle:

The Mayor said this on Facebook February 2023. So technically they could get away with it. I mean, those little dinky coin operated rides you find in malls aren’t “dark rides,” yet they’re indoors, and the little kids love em.
