DreamWorks Land:

DreamWorks Land, located in Universal Studios Florida, invites guests to step inside the colorful worlds of some of their favorite animated films. The Trolls Trollercoaster will have families screaming in delight. After taking a ride, Trolls fans can choose from Poppy-licious Pink or BroZone Berry ice cream treats. Guests can mosey through Shrek’s Swamp and eat Shrekzels (pretzels shaped like the beloved ogre). Po will show guests some kung fu moves in the Panda Village. Throughout it all, families will have the opportunity to meet and take photos with their favorite Shrek, Trolls and Kung Fu Panda characters. There are even multiple interactive play areas and a live show called DreamWorks Imagination Celebration.

Hogwarts Always:

Guests visiting The Wizarding World of Harry Potter can now experience its newest nighttime offering, Hogwarts Always. This projection allows HP fans to journey through a school year at the beloved wizarding school. From a ride aboard the Hogwarts Express to the Sorting Hat Ceremony and all the adventures that take place after, witches, wizards and muggles of all ages will be enchanted. 

On July 3rd, Universal Orlando will debut Universal Mega Movie Parade. As Universal’s largest daytime parade, Universal Mega Movie Parade celebrates E.T., Jaws, Ghostbusters, Jurassic World, Illumination’s Sing, and DreamWorks Animation’s Trolls by bringing the characters off the screen and onto the streets.  

Specialty merchandise to celebrate these new experiences is now available, including bubble wands inspired by Trolls and Jurassic Park. These interactive bubble wands will activate fun features when interacting with other wands and also interact with some of the floats from the Universal Mega Movie Parade. Additionally, new clothing, drinkware, headbands and more are available.
