FRISCO, Texas — After months of delays and listening to complaints and objections from residents, Frisco City Council on Tuesday voted in favor of the controversial Universal Studios theme park for younger children.

The project was announced two months ago, and developers have yet to release specific details on what the park will look like.

While most residents knew it was a done deal, there are concerns about traffic, noise and crime.

After public comments, city officials spent more than two hours asking questions and getting clarifications.

The park is scheduled to open for business in 2026.

Part of 97 acres of land recently purchased by the company, Universal has plans for an adjacent themed hotel and room for expansion.

“We are excited about the opportunity to partner with the city of Frisco and Mayor Cheney as we work to bring this innovative, new concept to life designed specifically for a younger generation of Universal fans,” said Page Thompson, president of new ventures, Universal Parks & Resorts. “We think North Texas is the perfect place to launch this unique park for families given its growing popularity within this part of the country.”
