The Universal Kids Resort is a first-of-its-kind theme park designed for families of young kids, and it will feature lands themed around some iconic kids’ franchises including Shrek, Puss in Boots, Trolls, Gabby’s Dollhouse, SpongeBob SquarePants, Minions, and Jurassic World.

Universal Kids Resort is expected to open sometime in 2026, and while we don’t have a ton of details about the park just yet, we did just spot what we think is a huge update online. Universal has filed a new trademark application for something called “Jurassic World: Cretaceous Coaster.”

Now, we don’t know about you, but since we know that this kid-focused theme park will include theming from Jurassic World, it certainly sounds like this might be the official name of a brand-new roller coaster coming to Universal Kids Resort!

As of now, the trademark application is still being processed, but this is an exciting step forward in the opening of this first-of-its-kind park!

As far as other rides at this park go, we know that kids will get to visit a playground themed around Shrek’s swamp where they can “stomp, ride, laugh, and play.” SpongeBob SquarePants, Patrick, Sandy Cheeks, and Squidward will show kids around their neighborhood under the sea. From earning a boating license to relaxing on the beach as bubbles float by, kids and their families and friends can enjoy the nautical, nonsensical delights.”

Kids can then join Puss in Boots, Kitty Softpaws, and Perrito at a kitty adoption drive “with fabulous decorations, sideshow games, fun rides and festive food.” There’s also a sensory garden for those who need a rest.

Universal Kids Resort will also have a central hub with “shady lawns and interactive play areas that give kids and their families plenty of space to rest and play.” A “unique immersive retail experience” will also feature characters like Gabby from Gabby’s Dollhouse.

Universal also released concept art of the 300-room hotel that will complete the resort. This site will also be the entrance to Univeral Kids Resort.
