Since the opening of its first theme park in the Summer of 1990 in Orlando, Florida, Universal Resorts has been competing against Disney World (DIS) , its biggest rival theme park, to win over theme park aficionados and become the top contender among all.

From Shrek's swamp to dinosaurs a la "Jurassic World," young guests will have plenty to do at the Universal Kids Resort when it opens next year in Frisco, Texas. Universal on Friday released details about the new park's themed lands and its 300-room hotel.

Stella Nova is the first of three new hotels opening in connection with Universal Orlando's new Epic Universe theme park.
