Woody Woodpecker's Kidzone
Woody Woodpecker's Kidzone is the park's children's area named after Universal Studios' mascot, Woody Woodpecker. The area was originally part of World Expo, but was spling into its own section with the opening of a junior roller coaster named Woody Woodpecker's Nuthouse Coaster in 1999.
To the junior roller coaster, Woody Woodpecker's Kidzone is the home of three attractions and three shows. Fievel's Playland is a children's playground which includes a 30-foot (9.1 m) spider web to climb and a 200-foot (61 m) long water slide. The attraction opened in 1992. A second children's play area opened six years later. Curious George Goes to Town is a play area featuring two huge water troughs that dump 500 gallons of water on its visitors every few minutes, and a ball area where guests can shoot soft, foam balls out of cannons. The final attraction is E.T. Adventure. Opening in 1990, the ride is a dark ride based on the 1982 hit film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.
