The partnership between Universal and Illumination is VERY VERY strong right now. Strong enough that I would be keeping an very close eye on any other upcoming animated properties from them that could result in a theme park attraction.
I was originally going to say (and actually posted, now deleted) that Universal would buy Illumination, but it looks like they already have, since 2008. So, I suppose you could say it's a VERY close partnership. I learned something today.
I would assume that it's kind of like how Disney and Pixar are today.
Anyway, given the lineup of animated movies they have coming, you can tell Universal is looking to expand their family friendly options, which will no doubt make their way to the theme parks.
