Universal Kids Resort - Frisco, Texas

[MikePat]

Silver dollar city continues to have the most unhinged social media in the industry….


So funny.

I'll say the food looks good.

Where's the rest of the play area:

By the way, neither of the Texas Six Flags parks sell day tickets more than $50 through the rest of the summer.

I really believe a lot of this parks' visual issues could be solved with colored pavement.

It's in the art on the Visit Frisco website:


And before I get well actually, this is the same art used in Universal's promotional material, not the Dec. 2023 park layout, nor the January 2023 blue sky concept, which I am also posting below for reference:

When this was first announced, I expected a park full of Fantasylands and Seuss Landings. Once the ride lineup was announced, I expected a supersized KidZone. I'm not even sure this lives up to that... genuinely baffling that this was approved to open in its current state.

They should've went with a different name if they didn't want people to associate this with their larger parks. This just cheapens the entire brand imo.

This is the worst new theme park I've seen in years. I get that it's a kiddie park but.....yeesh.

Well, they made a mistake with that initial concept art. It messed with people's expectations.

I think initial comparisons to Legoland were also a mistake when the more valuable comp was a Peppa Pig park. Except this park exists in a weird limbo where it has the size, merchandising, and food offerings of a Legoland but with the style, theming, and price point of those 5-15 acre kiddy parks. It's neither fish nor fowl, really.

Also, in the process of researching the theme park landscape of Texas, I discovered this video of the psychedelic boat ride at Six Flags Over Texas (which you can access for the low low price of $55 dollars. How a Peppa Pig park ticket is even close to the price of a Six Flags ticket is beyond my comprehension)

Funny enough, the two nearest Six Flags parks are a lot nicer than this. Just compare the raft rides at Over Texas and Fiesta Texas to the Minions one at UKP.

No you're right. Six Flags and even Legoland does better theming than this. This is maybe at Peppa Pig level. It's sad. I know I'm beating a dead horse but I truly cannot get over how Creative signed off on this. We all knew it was going to be smaller scale but smaller scale doesn't mean you have to go this bleak. I applaud people for trying to be optimistic but when you think of how much they're charging for what you're getting, it's really beyond the pale and Universal can do so so so much better than this.

I accept the fact that this is a park meant for kids and was never meant to be as big as Universal’s usual parks.

If I were a kid at this time, I would much prefer to go to Wannado City if it were still open over this.
