A whole new land is coming to Universal Orlando Resort!

The park promises an immersive experience with “vibrant colors, sights and sounds” that will bring guests right into the world of the films.

Universal Orlando Resorts’ websitealso notes that there will be special meet and greets with other popular characters from the DreamWorks portfolio, which hints that park-goers may get to see beloved characters like Shrek and Donkey from theShrekfranchise and Po the panda fromKung-Fu Panda.
The new land will replace the existing KidZone area of the park. That section is located near theE.T. Adventureride, and was previously home to the ride Woody Woodpecker’s Nuthouse Coaster, which closed in January, according to theOrlando Sentinel.
The news comes as Universal Orlando Resort prepares to open another anticipated addition: itsMinion Land, which is themed after Illumination’sDespicable Mefilms.
