What is replacing Woody Woodpecker ride?

The park has officially announced that a thrilling DreamWorks land will be taking the place of the former Woody Woodpecker's KidZone at Universal Studios Florida. Set to open its doors in 2024, this new land promises to be a captivating and interactive experience for visitors of all ages.



The former Woody Woodpecker’s Nuthouse Coaster at Universal Studios Florida has been replaced by the Trolls’ Trollercoaster. This transformation was part of the larger overhaul of the "KidZone" area into the new DreamWorks Land, which officially opened in mid-2024. The ride itself is a rethemed version of the original Vekoma Junior Coaster, now featuring the beloved "Caterbus" from the Trolls franchise. While the track layout remains the same, the experience has been modernized with vibrant colors, new music from the films, and characters like Poppy and Branch integrated into the scenery. The surrounding area now also includes "Poppy’s Playground" and a Kung Fu Panda training camp, replacing older IPs like Curious George and Fievel. This shift marks Universal's move toward using more current and popular "in-house" properties to attract younger families who may no longer be familiar with the classic Woody Woodpecker cartoons.
