Universal Studios Hollywood has announced an exciting new ride will be opening in 2020, named The Secret Life of Pets: Off the Leash!

The new fully-immersive attraction is based on the popular 2016 film ‘The Secret Life of Pets.’ It will see guests take on the role of stray puppies as they join the familiar characters from the film, including Snowball, Max, Duke, Chloe and Gidget, as they embark on a quest to find the puppies homes.

The experience will combine live, animated and dimensional characters with hyper-realistic media as guests ride in vehicles along a track through New York’s thriving streets, meeting a number of challenges on the way, until they eventually arrive at their destination – the Pet Adoption site.

Karen Irwin, president and COO of Universal Studios Hollywood, spoke of the impending new attraction.

“We are thrilled to be able to bring another exciting Illumination movie-based ride to our guests. The Secret Life of Pets: Off the Leash! will capture the essence of the popular film and invite our guests to live vicariously through some of their favourite characters as they embark on a one-of-a-kind experience only available at Universal Studios Hollywood,” said Irwin.

The Secret Life of Pets 2 will arrive in cinemas on June 7, 2019.
