June 10th, 2016

A year ago to this date, plans were unveiled for the first water park to hit Universal Studios Florida based entirely around the DreamWorks animated films. Later that summer we learned of the main headliner attractions of the park including the world's largest "not-so-lazy" river, Shrek's Mudslide, a series of slides based on Kung Fu Panda's Furious Five, and a large collection of slides based around the main "riders" of the How to Train Your Dragon series.

After learning of the dining that would be available in the park in a surprise Thanksgiving announcement, news came to a standstill until today. It gives us great pleasure to announce the full attraction line-up for "DreamWorks Water Works".

The park will contain a small main street type area build around the concept of the child fishing from the moon from the DreamWorks logo. This will be a small transitional area into the main park which will feature light dark blue shades everywhere as well as simulated clouds and stars. This area doesn't have a name or any attractions, it's simply used to transition guests into the larger themed areas.

The first land guests will hit is Berk which will be located in the center of the park. The mountainous layout of the area will naturally turn it into one of the main icons of the park. As mentioned before, there will be five slides including a double-sided dueling body slide themed to the five main characters of the HTTYD series and their respective dragons. Outside of the dueling body slide, the other four will use inner-tubes. In addition to this, "Drago's Fury" will be a thrilling vertical drop body slide from 160 feet in the air, themed around the main villain from the second film.

Far Far Away will be located to the left of Berk. Shrek's Mudslide will be located at the top of a hill overlooking the Hollywood-esque namesake area. Duloc will play host to a queue for "Lord Farquad's Dragon Quest" a slide that uses the "toilet bowel" design except themed to the chamber of Dragon and featuring a huge AA of her likeness. Meanwhile a dark blue "thrill" slide themed after the Fairy God Mother will wind its way through Far, Far Away itself.

The Furious Five slides will be the main focal point of Kung Fu Valley, but a smaller more kid-friendly slide based on Po will also be included. Kung Fu Valley will be located on the right side of Berk. Far, Far Away and Kung Fu Valley both contain paths with access to Madagascar, located in the back of the park.

As previously mentioned, "King Julian's Move It Move It River" will be the largest "not-so" lazy river at any water park and will wind its way through a large course themed to the jungles of Madagascar. "Melvin's Follies" will be a light slide for kids. "Operation Penguin" will offer kid-sized thrills and serve as a mini version of the larger Furious Five and Dragon Riders slides offering three way dueling action with slides based on each of the three main Penguin characters of Rico, Skipper, and Chief.

The park has been confirmed to span 75 acres and will open in one year from today on June 10th, 2017.
