Universal Studios Texas: The Introduction

 

In this groundbreaking new park, America receives its third incarnation of Universal. Here, guests can come in and have the ultimate movie experience. This resort takes the best of Universal parks from all around the world and mashes it together in this new resort. With seven areas to explore, guests will be able to let themselves woah.

Areas:
  • Hollywood
  • The Wizarding World of Harry Potter: London
  • Lost World
  • Super Nintendo World
  • The Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Hogsmeade
  • Mystical Realms
  • Sci-Fi City
Interesting story about how this developed. I wanted to tweak the draft of Universal Studios Texas that I already had and maybe make it better. This is an attempt to do that. I decided to have both lands of the Wizarding World in the same location for two reasons: I couldn't think of ideas for a second park but I still wanted to include Diagon Alley and I felt like I could make two HP lands in one park work. Disney did it with Star Wars a lot and featuring things themed to the series outside of Galaxy's Edge, so hopefully, I can do the same with HP.

  In this family area, guests can travel around worlds of fantasy. Here, they can fly with dragons, unlock their inner Kung-Fu warrior, and more. When exiting Super Nintendo World, guests will enter a recreation of Far, Far Away from the Shrek films. Here, guests can eat at the Fairy Tale Tavern, shop at Medieval Times, and find treats at Cherry Lane Bakery. In the center of the village is the Fairy Tale Carousel. Then, guests go into the courtyard of the castle to access one of two attractions: the family coaster known as Magical Airways and the trackless dark ride inside the castle: Puss in Boots: Legend of the Lost Mirror. Guests travel to Far, Far Away to attend the celebration of Shrek and Fiona's wedding anniversary but get sidetracked when they join Puss on a quest beneath the castle. The ride exits into Enchanted Relics. Next up is an area themed to How to Train Your Dragon, recreating the Isle of Berk. Here, guests can pass over a bridge to a Chinese area to see the statue...

  For those who seek adventure, this is the place for you. Here, guests are immersed in exotic locations, where the wild rules supreme. They can see many great things. Dinosaurs, cavemen, animals, and more. When coming across the bridge from London, guests enter the land. The first area that they are introduced to is a jungle area themed to Madagascar. Here, they will find Boabab Bites, a restaurant sitting on the edge of the water. Nearby is King Julien's Tree Swings, which overlook the land as it sits by the water that surrounds Crood island. As they go through the jungle, guests can also eat at Marty's and shop at Washed-up Wares. At the edge of the area is where guests can ride the family boat ride, Madagascar: A Crate Adventure, inspired by a former attraction in Singapore. Going north from Madagascar's western side, guests enter Jurassic World. Here, guests can find many photo ops where they can appear like they're being chased by dinosaurs. This area is home to H...

  Wands at the ready! Come to this magical location where guests can follow in Harry's footsteps. This recreates the charming village seen in the series, and see Hogwarts itself. When coming into the area from Hogsmeade, guests pass by the Hogwarts Express station that can take guests to London. They can also see the Shrieking Shack (where the Defenders of the Wizarding World meets its climax with a duel with the Dark Lord himself) and the Beauxbatons carriage. Then, they enter the village itself, where guests can shop at Zonko's Joke Shop, Honey dukes, Gladrag's Wizardwear, Dervish and Banges, Owl Post, and Ollivanders, and they can eat at The Three Broomsticks and the  Hog's Head. This is also where they can find the entrance to Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure, a longer version of the Orlando ride. At the edge of Hogsmeade is where Hogwarts itself is. On the left side is the Durmstrang ship while on the right is the Cauldron Twirl family ride. Hagri...
