FRISCO \u2014 Imagine holding your child’s hand and walking through a collection of interactive experiences with popular characters from minions<\/i> or Spongebob Squarepants,<\/i> then staying the night in a similarly themed 300-room hotel.<\/p>\n

That’s the vision Universal Parks and Resorts pictures for young families with its newly announced theme park in Frisco.<\/p>\n

So, what do we know so far about the park?<\/p>\n

It’ll be derived from a \u201cportfolio of terrific attractions that appeal to young families around the world,\u201d said Mark Woodbury, chairman and CEO of Universal Parks & Resorts. He described the plan Wednesday to the media, city officials and developers of the $10 billion Frisco megaproject known as Fields.<\/p>\n

The description was more conceptual than detailed.<\/p>\n

Woodbury said the park’s four or five themes will offer plenty of meet-and-greet experiences with Universal’s stable of well-known characters. It’ll be about one-fourth the size of Universal’s popular Orlando, Fla., park, where themes include Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts<\/i> and Despicable Me Minion Mayhem<\/i>.<\/p>\n

It’ll be designed to fit into the landscape of the sprawling Fields project, he said. It’ll join the PGA of America’s new golfing resort as the project’s major attractions.<\/p>\n

Woodbury emphasized the park will be about experiences \u2014 interactive attractions geared toward younger families and children ages 3 to 9. He said he envisions it being a one- or two-day destination.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose different experiences … come together to create this wonderful Universal park designed specifically for the families of Frisco in the surrounding area,\u201d Woodbury said.<\/p>\n
