FRISCO, Texas – Universal Parks & Resorts said Wednesday that it plans to bring a new concept for families with young children to Frisco, Texas, about 35 miles outside of Dallas.
The new park concept, “set in a lush green landscape and featuring immersive themed lands, celebrates Universal’s iconic brand of entertainment, humor, and innovation and brings to life its beloved characters and stories in ways that will wow even the youngest theme park goers,” according to the social media post announcing the resort.

Felix Mora-Gomez: “Nice, but San Antonio would’ve been a better location, everyone in Texas takes road-trips to San Antonio, it’s a central location.”
Joshua Stuart: “So basically a Legoland in Texas.”
Luealv Mar: “Frisco has communities like this but not this colorful.”
Emalie Rodriguez: “I’m so excited!!!!!! I can’t wait.”
Warren Singleton: “Universal > Disney”
