Previously the Woody Woodpecker’s Nuthouse Coaster, which closed in January 2023, this ride has been transformed into the whimsical world of the Trolls. On Trolls Trollercoaster, you can hop on the caterbus and twist and turn along the track to dodge spiders. It’s a fantastic introduction for those new to roller coasters. We absolutely loved how the retheming of this classic attraction brought the vibrant and playful world of the Trolls to life!

Watch as Panda Village springs to life with engaging interactive features like water cannons, dump buckets, giant fans, gongs, and merry-go-round noodle bowls. It’s the ultimate playground for little explorers to unleash their inner kung fu master. And when it’s time to venture to your next Universal Studios Florida adventure, handy dryers are available to get you on your way quickly.
