A brand new character meet and greet location has debuted at the entrance of The Lost Continent at Universal’s Islands of Adventure. Recently, King Julien started meeting guests across from Fire Eater’s Grill, and now two additional characters have shown up just down the path.

Tigress, one of the main characters from the film Kung Fu Panda, maintains her serious demeanor as she practices her Kung Fu from a distance.

The meet and greet location is themed with rocks and planters and blends into the area. Social distancing stickers have been added to show guests where to stand when taking photos in this new location.

Rotating with Tigress was Gloria the hippo from Madagascar.

It started to storm just as she had arrived, so she quickly made her way back inside.

The location is just across from the temporarily closed Poseidon’s Fury in The Lost Continent at Universal’s Islands of Adventure. These characters are a nice addition to this quiet area of the park. Are you excited to meet either of these characters on your next visit to the Universal Orlando Resort? You can get a closer look at this new location and meet the characters in our video below.
