This will be the spot to join the one and only Gabby from DreamWorks’ Gabby’s Dollhouse for a special meet and greet and a pawsome dance party.

Two interactive play areas, Shrek’s Swamp Rompin’ Stomp and Shrek’s Swamp Splash & Smash, will allow kids to stomp and/or splash away. Families can also venture to DreamWorks’ Puss in Boots Del Mar. From meeting the fearless hero himself along with Mama Luna, Perrito and friends to taking on the challenging carnival games Barriles de Leche and El Gato’s Meow, the feline fun will be in full force. Next, let the games begin at Illumination’s Minions vs. Minions: Bello Bay Club where the Yellow Minions attempt to rein in their Purple counterparts leading to water-soaked fun. Families can take part in this action-packed competition, or just relax, and watch the chaos unfold. With a special Minions meet and greet and interactive play areas, there’ll be plenty of surprises. The excitement continues for kids and families as they experience awe-inspiring and thrilling moments exploring Jurassic World Adventure Camp. Whether it’s meeting a newly hatched baby dinosaur or climbing up the Lookout Towers play area to get a Pteranodon’s view of the park, guests of all ages will have an exhilarating journey. “With all the interactive play areas at Universal Kids Resort where kids can explore, discover and create, we’re really excited about this being a place for kids to play their way. We’re even going to support play with team members who will help kids dream up imaginary worlds with sidewalk chalk or spray themselves silly with water blasters. From blowing bubbles to belly laughs, there will be fun for kids of all ages and interests,” said Robinson. In addition to the park’s many play areas, Universal Kids Resort features multiple sensory gardens designed to give children and families opportunities to pause, reset, and connect. These carefully crafted spaces invite guests to explore through touch, sound, and color in calming, nature-inspired settings — creating moments of balance within a day full of play. More fun abounds at DreamWorks’ TrollsFest where the music will be bumping and the energy will be pumping in the liveliest party in Troll Kingdom. Families can meet Poppy, Branch and the rest of the DreamWorks’ Trolls gang at a glitter-filled meet and greet. Two interactive play areas will offer good Trolls-fashioned fun including Poppy’s Playland and Trolls Critter Crawl. Then, it’s time for an undersea adventure at Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants Bikini Bottom where kids and their families can have the best day ever as they get to meet SpongeBob SquarePants, Patrick Star and Sandy Cheeks in Bikini Bottom since “F” is for friends who do stuff together. There’ll be oceans of nautical nonsense as kids can explore Mussel Beach for some rest and Pineapple Paradise for some playful splashing around. After all the fun, families can relax just steps away at the Universal Kids Resort Hotel. The colorfully themed on-site 300-room hotel designed with families in mind will offer a place to stay and relax just steps away from the park. The vibrant site will also serve as the entrance to Universal Kids Resort.

Rogue Rides has announced that their first trackless ride will open at Hunderfossen Eventyrpark in Norway in Spring 2026. https://boldmove-nation.prezly.com/rogue-rides-announces-first-trackless-dark-ride-system-at-hunderfossen Rogue Rides proudly announces at IAAPA Expo the first installation of its trackless vehicles at Hunderfossen in Norway. The BoldMove engineering and design team selected the innovative trackless vehicles for this exciting new media dark ride, slated for Spring 2026. Meanwhile the new Kamino show control is on its way, with a sleek design and using the latest, proven technologies. Hogne Hostmaelingen, Hunderfossen's Park Manager, comments: "In view of the compact space we have in the existing building, the trackless ride system of Rogue Rides has proven in our tests to be the most suitable on the market. We are not limited by infrastructural restrictions and can create a BIG experience on a small surface with maximum flexibility. The story already builds up in the preshow with the innovative motion of the vehicles being an important part of the overall dark ride experience." Comfort in all directions Rogue Rides trackless vehicles go far beyond smooth transport; they move with personality, responding to narrative beats and heightening every dramatic moment. At the heart of Rogue Rides is a groundbreaking application of mecanum wheel technology, long proven in the logistics sector and fitted with all the technologies to ensure a smooth ride. For the first time, this system brings the freedom and dynamics of large-scale steel rides into dark ride environments. Unlike traditional wheel-and-platform systems, mecanum wheels allow instant acceleration in any direction: forward, backward, or sideways. This unlocks a whole new vocabulary of motion, surprising riders with unexpected pivots, spins, and glides. Comfort is equally essential. That’s why every Rogue Ride is equipped with pneumatic air-oil suspension to absorb vibration and tilting axle technology for perfect ground grip, even during the most action-packed sequences. Kamino: Next-Level Show Control Rogue Rides pushes boundaries in show integration with Kamino, the most advanced show control platform on the market. Built on Unreal Engine, the same toolset used by top game studios and car developers like Tesla, Kamino bridges the gap between the virtual and physical worlds. This open, non-proprietary approach unlocks creative freedom for designers and operators: Seamless synchronization of ride motion with media and effects Predictable, high-fidelity simulations that improve budgeting accuracy, Opportunities to integrate AI-driven interactivity and adaptive storytelling. Operational efficiency and flexibility are key features in Rogue Rides development. The dual-boarding station allows for a more flawless boarding and unboarding, saving time and allowing one single operator to supervise the process. It can also be programmed to function as an extra buffer in case of delays during the ride. "By combining iconic vehicle design, unsurpassed motion capabilities, and future-ready show control, Rogue Rides sets a new benchmark for dark rides. The engineering team checked all existing dark ride systems on the market and validates Rogue Rides as a universal solution, overcoming current problems in power and reloading." concludes Benoit Cornet, CEO of BoldMove Nation.

Six Flags has officially announced Tormenta Rampaging Run will come to the park in the form of a new B&M Giga Dive Coaster. This coaster will break six world records at the time of its debut in 2026. Tormenta Rampaging Run will be set in a new Spanish village called Rancho de la Tormenta along with a new restaurant Cocina Abuela set in the park's Spain section. Six Flags Over Texas is taking history by the horns with the unveiling of Tormenta Rampaging Run—a record-breaking, adrenaline-pumping roller coaster that will redefine the thrill-seeker experience while changing the city's skyline in 2026. As the tallest, fastest, longest and first-ever giga (300+-foot-tall) dive coaster in the world, this one-of-a-kind thrill ride will trample six monumental world records. Themed after one of Spain's longest traditions, the running of the bulls, the historic new attraction will tower over a brand-new Spanish village called Rancho de la Tormenta and new restaurant Cocina Abuela, all fittingly located in the park's Spain area. Tormenta Rampaging Run will elevate riders to a height of 309 feet and, just like waiting for the release of the bulls, the train will release plunging riders into a record-breaking 95-degree, beyond vertical drop complete with sharp turns followed by other exhilarating drops that replicate the thrill of the running of the bulls. World Record-Breaking Features of Tormenta Rampaging Run: Tallest Dive Coaster: Soaring to an epic height of 309 feet, Tormenta Rampaging Run will give riders a heart-stopping view of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex area before plunging them into a high-speed descent. Fastest Dive Coaster: Reaching a thrilling speed of 87 mph, Tormenta Rampaging Run will be the fastest dive coaster on the planet, ensuring an experience that delivers pure excitement from the first moment to the last. Longest Dive Coaster: Spanning 4,199 feet, this ride will offer an extended journey full of airtime (weightless) moments, sharp turns and exhilarating drops that will make riders feel like they are bull runners. Tallest Vertical Coaster Loop: At 179 feet, the loop on this coaster will be the highest of any coaster, of any type, in the world. Highest Immelmann Inversion: Being upside down at 218 feet will become a must for thrill-seekers and roller coaster enthusiasts from around the world. Highest 95-Degree Beyond Vertical Drop: Without warning, the train will release, dropping riders a record 285 feet down at a beyond-vertical 95 degrees. "Six Flags Over Texas has always been a leader in creating unforgettable experiences, and with Tormenta Rampaging Run we are soaring to new heights," said Mark Boyer, VP and Park Manager for Six Flags Over Texas. "This coaster is a true testament to our commitment to providing world-class thrills and innovation, and we can't wait to bring this historic ride to life in 2026." "As the world's first giga dive coaster, Tormenta Rampaging Run introduces a completely new ride category, blending giga coaster heights with the fun and thrill of a dive coaster," said Sophie Bolliger, President of Bolliger & Mabillard, consulting engineers and designers of the coaster. "This level of innovation sets new standards for the theme park industry and our company is honored to be part of this historic moment with Six Flags." The Story of Rancho de la Tormenta Plaza and Cocina Abuela Rancho de la Tormenta, an immersive, themed area depicting an old and secluded Spanish village, will warmly welcomes guests with vibrant colorful banners and jubilant Spanish music. This fictional town was initially named after the storms (tormentas) that swept across the plains it occupied, but that soon changed with the birth of a legendary bull that grew to be the most feared and respected animal in the land. Known for his fierce strength and incredible speed, matadors from all over Spain traveled to face him but none could defeat him. His name was Tormenta. As guests enter the plaza, they immediately will be engulfed by the aromas coming from Cocina Abuela, a brand-new restaurant redefining theme park dining. Inspired by the rich culinary traditions of Spain and Latin America, the menu will showcase bold, scratch-made favorites like Spanish rice, papas bravas, chicken tinga, and fresh house-made guacamole, all crafted with an emphasis on vibrant flavors and authentic quality. Six Flags Over Texas 65th Anniversary The 2026 opening of this multi-record-breaking roller coaster will be part of an important milestone for Six Flags Over Texas as it celebrates its 65th anniversary. When Six Flags Over Texas opened on Aug. 1, 1961, it marked a new era in family entertainment and set a precedent for future parks. The 65th commemoration will feature exclusive previews, special events, giveaways and many surprises making it a historic celebration worthy of the first Six Flags' original park that started it all.

Waking up for our final day onboard the Disney Treasure meant a packed day ahead with food, beach fun and lots more to take in across the ship. It's always the best day on a Disney Cruise when you're able to get Churro Mickey Waffles. Our final day of the cruise was marked by a visit to Disney's Castaway Cay. Daisy was out front to greet us! Look at this stuff! Isn't it neat? A look at the ship's aft design... Hi Bob! So much room for activities! The first of many captains I'd see today! Classic pose in a classic spot. Tis the reason for the season! Hiya pal! Howdy Goofy! One of my favorite vantage points of the ship on the island. This one as welll! Pluto was out meeting guests in front of Mt. Rustmore. The Maui shirt is pretty great. After some time at the beach (no photos, just relaxation) it was time to head back to the ship. That night would be our final meal in Plaza de Coco with the evening's theme and show being set around Dia de los Muertos. This Beef Birria Empanada kicked off the meal on a high note! Hector and Mama Imelda join Miguel in a celebration of the Day of the Dead that feels like a direct extension of the film Coco, in the best way. As the dinner and the show carries on, the restaurant's decor changes to match the spirit world vibe. These Red Chicken Enchiladas were amazing! So many great flavors to choose from and we loved them all (especially the Blistered Poblano Pepper)! My wife loved the Cappucino Creme Brulee Cheesecake. It isn't a Disney Cruise without at least one sundae consumed... This one featured dulce de leche ice cream, banana bread, cinnamon fried tortillas and whipped cream. Oh, and I was surprised with a birthday celebration onboard. Plaza de Coco is a great venue and a fantastic tribute to the film Coco. Roaming the ship on the final night as I always do, I had a chance to admire much of the art found in the stairwells and stateroom deck lobbies... I really like this display themed to Onward. They now have one of these for the Disney Wish and for the Disney Treasure. The hallway of Diseny heroines. The path leading to the Wonderland Cinema... I might have bought a print of this from the Art of Disney on Demand... I might have. I love how much this ship embraces 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea! Proper Enchanted Tiki Room representation found! The carpet in the stateroom deck lobbies matches the motifs of decor found in the staterooms... Proper Jungle Cruise representation found! A great piece inspired by Encanto. I was even surprised to find some Treasure Planet art onboard! I'm not crying, you're crying. The hallway lamps each project character designs around them in cute ways... These lamps also match the motif of the staterooms they neighbor. I would eventually end up buying this for home... Our final show in the Walt Disney Theater was Beauty and the Beast, one of my favorites across all of the fleet. As per tradition, on the final night of a Disney Cruise, there is a "farewell moment" that allows guests to say goodbye to the many characters they've encountered through their cruise. Oh Captain, my Captain! On the Disney Treasure, this farewell has no shortage of characters who fill the Grand Hall. Genie stops in and brings with him some confetti! Bilge-rats from Captain Hook's crew interrupt to represent the fun that was had on Pirates Night. Spiderman swings by for a brief goodbye! Captain Minnie, Captain Mickey and friends say "See Ya Real Soon!" one last time... And our storytellers Sage and Coriander, having found the fabled Treasure, set off to retell this story to new audiences... More love for 20,000 Leagues and I'm not going to complain! I popped into Scat Cat Lounge to check out this Aristocats-inspired venue. Some fancy, feline glassware going on in here. Can't stop staring... Won't stop staring. Ok, last one... I promise. I found it but I'm not going to tell you where! I do love that the ships' horns are visible and themed on the Disney Wish and the Disney Treasure! A look at the Concierge Tower Suite and the Toy Story Splash Zone at night. Love this! So much fun in one shot! We woke up the next morning back in Port Canaveral and it was time to drive (sadly, not sail) away... Another amazing cruise had finished, and this time, we had a new ship that's vying hard for consideration as one of our favorite ships in the fleet!
