Universal Orlando Resort announced plans to unveil a new land next year based on characters from the beloved DreamWorks Animations’ franchises.

Coming to Universal Studios Florida in 2024, the new DreamWorks land will transport visitors to the theme park to an area adorned with vibrant colors, sights and sounds from some of the company’s most popular animated films.

Guests at Universal Orlando will share special moments with their favorite characters like Gabby from Gabby’s Dollhouse and explore themed, interactive play spaces and attractions that bring popular franchises like Shrek, Trolls and Kung Fu Panda to life.

The new DreamWorks land is part of a collection of new entertainment experiences debuting at the Florida theme park in 2024. The addition is also part of Universal’s commitment to storytelling that places guests of all ages in the most incredible and immersive environments.

Last week, Universal Orlando announced new details for Illumination’s Villain-Con Minion Blast blaster game attraction scheduled to debut at the theme park this summer.

Located at the entrance to the new Minion Land, Illumination’s Villain-Con Minion Blast blends immersive sets, interactive game-based technology, custom animations and an original storyline to create a one-of-a-kind blaster attraction where guests can put their villainous skills to the ultimate test.

Travelers can also stop by the outdoor Illumination Theater facade to meet, greet and interact with characters like the Minions, Gru, Margo, Edith, and Agnes.
