We’re finally at Universal Kids Resort to check out everything the park has to offer. The brand-new Texas theme park features seven lands themed after Shrek, SpongeBob, Minions, Trolls, and Jurassic World. And we’re HERE LIVE before the park officially opens to the public on July 1st.
Welcome to TrollsFest!
We got to check out TrollsFest, the new land themed after DreamWorks’ hit Trolls movies. We’re going to take you through everything the land has to offer, so let’s explore!
DreamWorks’ TrollsFest is billed as a round-the-clock glitter party, and the lineup backs that up. You can ride a roller coaster, eat a sweet treat, and have an all-day dance party! First, we checked out Rhonda’s TrollsFest Express. This is a kid-friendly roller coaster ride aboard the movie’s iconic Armadillo Bus that weaves you through the land with Branch and Poppy.

Next up was Hair in the Clouds, a balloon ride that lifts you above TrollsFest for a colorful aerial view. We got some awesome views of the park!

To eat, we stopped at Trolls Eatz!. This is a quick-service restaurant that serves pizza and pasta.

For dessert, we headed to BroZone Cones, which serves delicious ice cream treats.

After lunch, we had to meet our favorite trolls! Meet Poppy & Friends is a glitter-filled meet-and-greet dance party, so it was an experience.

Once we were all made up, we watched the King Trollex Techno Dance Party. This show-dance party hybrid features the iconic King Trollex, disco balls, and high-energy techno, funk, and pop music.

Then, we watched Trollstastic: Concert Countdown. This one-of-a-kind pop concert will let you lead the sound check, learn the dance moves, and jump into the spotlight with all of your favorite Trolls.

TrollsFest has a makeover experience at Sparkle Shine Glitter Glow. They also sell troll outfits and accessories to make your troll makeover complete!

We had to do some shopping at Mr. Dinkles’ Market, the store in TrollsFest. They sell even MORE Trolls style with festive tees and other vibrant TrollsFest merchandise.

Lastly, we checked out Poppy’s Playland and Trolls Critter Crawl.
