July 17th, 2024

Universal Mega Movie Parade Completes the Exciting Collection of All-New Daytime and Nighttime Experiences Now Open at Universal Orlando, Including DreamWorks Land, CineSational: A Symphonic Spectacular, and Hogwarts Always

Guests can watch in awe as fan-favorite films leap off the screen and onto the streets of Universal Studios Florida during Universal Mega Movie Parade, now open at Universal Orlando Resort. The all-new parade highlights iconic movies such as E.T., Back to the Future, JAWS, Ghostbusters, Jurassic World, Illumination’s Minions and Sing, and DreamWorks Animation’s Trolls and Kung Fu Panda.

Universal Mega Movie Parade combines 13 new floats, nearly 100 performers – including dancers, skaters, stilt walkers, poi performers and more – and special effects to create a jaw-dropping experience that allows guests to relive classic film moments in a whole new way. Guests can see the colorful Caterbus with giant rainbows on the vibrant Trolls float, a massive 16-foot Stay Puft Marshmallow Man atop the Ghostbusters float, groovy Minions on a 70s dance floor across the Minions float, a live marching drum line performing the iconic movie score from JAWS alongside a float themed to the film, and – for the epic finale – the fierce Tyrannosaurus rex aboard the Jurassic World float – and so much more. Fans can also spot additional details that pay homage to iconic elements from the films on some of the floats as the parade winds through Universal Studios Florida.

To add to the excitement, guests can purchase all-new interactive bubble wands inspired by some of the parade’s films that illuminate, blow bubbles, vibrate, and activate sounds when interacting with select Universal Mega Movie Parade floats, as well as other bubble wands. Featuring characters from DreamWorks Animation’s Trolls, Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment’s Jurassic World, and Illumination’s Minions, each bubble wand features sounds and lights unique to each character, creating custom interactions for guests to enjoy. The selection of bubble wands is available for purchase now at various retail locations throughout Universal Orlando Resort.
