Spectacular New Lagoon Show Headed to Universal Orlando!

by Megan Fischer · June 14, 2018

As if you didn’t have enough to see when you visit Universal Orlando Resort, the theme park has just announced a brand-new lagoon show in Universal Studios Florida! The show is called “Universal Orlando’s Cinematic Celebration” and will be premiering this summer on select nights.

 

 

Guests can expect to see magic from not only the Harry Potter movies but also blockbusters such as The Fast and the Furious, Despicable Me, Jurassic World, and more!

‘Universal Orlando’s Cinematic Celebration’ will seamlessly blend fountain-based media, a variety of state-of-the-art technologies and special effects in a whole new way. The show combines an all-new storyline with full panoramic water screens accented by additional multi-layer water screens, pyrotechnics and – for the first time ever – more than 120 dancing fountains and projection mapping to transform the entire waterfront and surrounding buildings into a vivid celebration of epic movie moments and beloved characters.

Gone are your worries of someone too tall standing in front of you, blocking your view. You’ll be able to watch the display from an all-new viewing area that has been designed specifically for the show!

This new spectacle joins the mega-popular “The Nighttime Lights at Hogwarts Castle” in giving park guests a one-of-a-kind experience to write home about.

Will you go see “Universal Orlando’s Cinematic Celebration”? Let us know in the comments below!
