Some people worry about the heavy traffic to be created after the opening of Universal Kids Resort in Frisco tx. I believe that it may happen on the first few days, then the traffic will be smooth. This is the reason: When the kids resort opens during 2026, it is very small with, probably 1/4 or 1/5 the real size; the small size may not attract lots of people immediately. However, when time goes-by ( it will take several years ), the phase 2, 3, 4 etc. opens, it is going to be a different stories. However, even with it very small size on the beginning, it may still attract visitors from 2026 world cup visitors because most of them are probably from spanish speaking central/south American countries. South/Central American ( including Mexican ) people know how to balance lives and went to Disneyland and Universal Studio in LA all the time. However, they need kids to go to this small kids theme park.
Is it only 30 acres? I looked at a land measurement and showed nearly 100 acres of land. Maybe a lot of that is parking and hotels??? Can you confirm size? If they do not use parking garages it would require nearly 50 acres just to accomodate the 20,000 people expected on weekends (parking is typically 162 spaces per acre assuming an average of 2.5-3.0 people per car). Also I'm skeptical about the expected number of guests... 20k on weekends and 7.5k on weekdays is 4 million a year for a park that its target age is pre-teen. They will likely achieve 25% of that number after a few months of being open. The DFW population is not big enough to sustain 4 million visitors a year... imo.
Yes it is 32 acres to be exact! As for the number of visitors, those are the estimates provided by Universal. But, over 25 million people visit Dallas every year, so it shouldn’t be a problem!
@@LIVINGINDALLAS So I've checked out other channels and sources on this. About 50% of the land is parking and a hotel that will be built there, leaving just 15-18 acres+/- to actual park area for attractions, food courts, and service buildings. As for visitors, if we count all of metro it's about 40+/- million but not all these visitors are here for theme park. If we would do a comparison with Six Flags in arlington - that park is on 212 acres and has about 1.5 to 1.8+/- million visitors annually (with Six Flags overall reporting attendance drops). Based on ratios of acreage to attendance of Six Flags I would think that they could get 300k-500k visitors annually. At first it may be greater as locals might check it out, but I don't see the Kids Resort theme idea lasting very long.

Thanks again for sharing these insights
Great update. I’m wondering about traffic on the tollway as well after universal moves in.
Exciting stuff! We shall see 😊

These prices are absolutely ridiculous
What do you think is more reasonable?
where do you live now?
Dfw doing too much too quick. We need to pump the breaks a bit.
I don’t think that will happen anytime soon. What are you worried about?
@@LIVINGINDALLASlack of green space and infrastructure challenges
@@LIVINGINDALLAS idiots from cali or Florida moving here to Texas 😂 thats a BIGGGG CONCERN brother
@@tflking4916 there is plenty of Green space here in the DFW. That's why they are able to build.
That tree buffer looks more like parking lot buffer
I guess in a way. where do you live now?
