​
Based on the films from Illumination Entertainment - this bright, animated land is home to a variety of ever expanding franchises including Despicable Me, The Secret Life of Pets, and much more. Journey through the family friendly environments featuring attractions, restaurants, shops, and a variety of meet and greet locations/entertainment.
In this guided dark ride attraction, guests enter on the first floor of the attraction facade of Katie's apartment building will be the attraction queue. The first floor, adjacent to the queue includes the restaurant Pop's Kitchen, as well. The queue enters through the apartment building lobby, then goes through the hallway, into Gidget's apartment, Penny's room, and then eventually into a pre-show where guests can look out onto New York City as Max narrates about his life in NYC. He then says that Katie will be home soon, and you board the ride vehicles to exit the apartment so Katie doesn't see you.
Attraction Ride Through
Scene 1 takes place in Katie's apartment the next day, as you're leaving the scene, Katie goes to work and Max heads out to the Terrace as you transition into Scene 2 - which has all the dogs in the apartment building talking about their days together. After this scene, in Scene 3, Duke arrives at Max's apartment and Max shows visible disdain for his presence, yet soon the ride jumps in a transition out of the apartment and into an alley with the sphynx cat ozone, who brings Max and Duke to Snowball, the leader of the Flushed Pets. In Scene 4, you venture into the sewers and try to make your escape, yet are almost caught by animal control, dodging the large nets above you. As you make your way onto the Brooklyn Bridge in Scene 5, you dodge incoming traffic as Max tries to save Duke from the animal control, attempting to break him out of his cage, when all of a sudden, Snowball saves the day by wrecking the animal control vehicle, Duke is saved, and the dogs head back to the apartment before Katie comes home and greets them in the finale scene.
Pop's Kitchen
Downstairs, on the first floor of the attraction space, is a Secret Life of Pets themed quick service restaurant Pop's Kitchen - named after the old basset hound in the film. It features a variety of burgers, sandwiches, sides, drinks, and children's menu options.
The Secret Life of Pets Parade
A small festival type float that comes around in Illumination Station throughout the day with your favorite characters from the film - check your times guide for more information.
The Pink Berets attraction be set in a new building that is based on a mixture between a rabbit burrow and a police station. The indoor queue features photos taken by The Pink Berets of various crime photos as evidence to a private spy program. This queue also features a three separate screens for each of the Pink Berets while a big screen in the middle features a male detective agent that tells what the next mission for them will be and also invites the audience to help them with their next mystery or crime case.
The ride vehicles are trackless and has a LPS system. ride to be similar to The Cat In The Hat attraction where it's all sets with a few characters but much longer. I'm mostly thinking of what the pre-show area would look like from the inside. The pre-show is a bit like Symbolica at Efteling in The Netherlands. Picture The Pink Berets theme to be played throughout the attraction and also marking the first time female rabbit team will be able to be talking besides making grunts and noises like they did in HOP. The AA's will also be more expressive in the ride.
There is also an indoor meet and greet location where you can meet them after you get off the attraction next to the gift shop and might even be found wandering around the indoor area and outside depending on the weather.
Quick Service - Easter Island Chocolate Emporium - Pink Berets M&G
Based off the Easter Island Chocolate Factory in the film, Hop - this quick service location duels as a chocolate factory as well as a Pink Berets Meet and Greet Location.
Based off the 2016 film, Sing, this is an interactive attraction similar to the recently closed American Idol Experience attraction, yet not as competitive. Children can sing on stage in a makeshift tryout, then at the end of the tryout, the children put on a performance for the audience (their parents) in a 15 minute production. Essentially this is a combination of the American Idol Experience mixed with Disney Junior Live on Stage.
Shop - Illumination Shop
