You'll see dachshund Buddy's apartment and Snowball owner Molly's living room, as well as Max and Duke's apartment. Before you reach the ride's boarding station, you'll get a peek at the pets living their day-to-day 'secret' lives. That's because the adorable queuing line winds its way through the corridors of Katie's NYC apartment building. Virtual Line lets you reserve a future ride time, which means you show up to ride at your designated time and spend a lot less time waiting in the actual line.īut, once you arrive at the ride, you won't want to race through the queue too quickly. Why stand in line when your phone can do it for you? Virtual Line™ technology, another component of the experience, is designed to help maximize your day at the park. With the addition of hyper-realistic media and projection mapping, this impressive new ride is designed to fully immerse guests in the movie's dynamic New York City setting. From blinking eyes to eye and eyebrow movements, from head tilts to head nods, from moving mouths to smiles, from ear curls to lip curls, from full torso twists to physically walking, the depth of mobility and function programmed within each of these loveable characters creates an experience to remember. The animatronics bring to life the beloved characters with 64 technologically-advanced figures. The ride also combines video mapping and animatronics.

The tracking helps identify each person on the ride as a unique stray puppy.

Kids will love seeing the funny and furry friends while adults will appreciate the state-of-the-art, optical-enhanced gesture-tracking technology. The heartwarming ride has a little something for all ages. Seated within ride vehicles that resemble cardboard boxes, you will travel along a track towards the pet adoption event and the ultimate happy ending: a forever home. The pets on the video screens mimic the hand gestures and facial expressions of riders.

As you journey through the ride, Max and his friends from The Secret Life of Pets films decide to help out albeit with a few detours along the way. The ride invites you to transform into a stray puppy with gesture-tracking technology. Photo Credit: Hamilton Pytluk/Universal Studios Hollywood
