![]() ![]() It’s safe to say that the Trolls IP will be attached to what was previously Woody Woodpecker’s Nuthouse Coaster. One of that film franchise’s purple spiders is perched atop a column, and a spider web is above the coaster track. It would now seem that the dynamic duo will once again have a permanent home in the park.īehind the Shrek and Donkey meet and greet, there’s a kiddie coaster that appears to be inspired by Trolls. When KidZone closed, Shrek packed his bags for Hollywood…or at least, that area of Universal Studios Florida. The Shrek and Donkey meet & greet that was previously at the front of the park near their attraction was relocated to Kidzone, taking over the old Barney gift shop. (Speaking of which, the replacement for that attraction– Villain Con Minion Blast–soft opened just last week!)

Having it ready for what is sure to be a busy Spring Break (with Central Florida schools out and Easter happening in a tighter window next year) certainly makes sense.

Since then, pretty much everything has been demolished, save for the kiddie coaster and a portion of the Curious George area. Adventure, SpongeBob StorePants, and the Animal Actors show remain open, but everything else–Woody Woodpecker’s Nuthouse Coaster, Fievel’s Playland, and Curious George Goes to Town–will be replaced or reimagined. Always quick to get to work, construction walls went up the very next day and work got started. ![]() In terms of background, this DreamWorks Animation area replaces Woody Woodpecker’s KidZone, which permanently closed on January 16, 2023.
