This is a huge day for Universal Studios. Not only has Jurassic World finally opened up to the public, but there's been a major announcement regarding a future project for Universal's Florida resort. USF is currently enjoying a huge boost in ticket sales due to the success of the cross-park "Wizard World of Harry Potter" additions. In addition to a new "King Kong" attraction on the way for Islands of Adventure, the resort anounced its first water park, which will be themed exclusively to the library of DreamWorks animated films owned by the company. 

DreamWorks WaterWorks will feature four large main areas of the park themed to the most celebrated and sucessful franchises that DreamWorks has to offer. The opening day lineup will include...

Berk

This land based off of the beloved "How to Train Your Dragon" franchise will be themed around the Norse mythology used in the film and feature a large variety of slides themed to the different dragons that inhabit the world. 

Kung Fu Valley

Based off of Kung Fu Panda, this land will celebrate the art style of ancient china while giving brave guests the chance to slide down one of the "Furious Five" slides themed to the different characters in the elite group. 

Madagascar

Guests can move it, move it all the way to Madagascar for a series of themed slides as well as the park's resident "lazy river" attraction. 

Far, Far Away

The parks largest area will play host to Dreamworks' most sucessful series of films. This large land will feature three sub-areas in Shrek's swamp, Duloc, and the titular Fairy Tale Hollywood known as Far, Far Away. 

Few details area known about the attractions that will be in the sub-area besides the Furious Five racing slides in Kung Fu Valley and specific dragon themed slides for Berk. Still, this is a very exciting next step for the resort and should be a major success given the staying power of the source material it's based off of. As of right now Universal is aiming to have this park completed for a Summer 2017 release. This blog will keep you posted with updates and news as it rolls in.
