While on the ride itself - in one of the cardboard boxes, one of which looked like a pizza box - guests will be transported through New York City, traveling through rough situations before making it to the big party at the end at one point, people will even go through a fireworks factory.That's a question that's at the core of the Secret Life of Pets movies, so it makes sense for it to be the crux of what the new attraction is all about - and judging by what we saw on the tour, it certainly lives up to that expectation. Corfino says that the ride answers the question about what people's pets do when they're not home.The Secret Life of Pets: Off the Leash! features 64 animatronic characters and utilizes optical gesture tracking technology that adds puppy-like features on top of guests. Universal flirted with the idea of using technology that would morph riders' faces with puppies, but they decided not to go in that direction in order to avoid the uncanny valley effect.Although there are stairs in the queue - a byproduct of the fact that the line goes through New York City apartments - Universal Studios remains ADA compliant and will have elevators for guests to use.And to mitigate long lines, Universal Studios will have a virtual queue for people to take advantage of. An exact number wasn't specified, but Corfino says the ride lasts between four and five minutes.This begins with people going through Katie's apartment and then proceeding through the apartments of other pets from the films, who will recognize attendees as lost puppies. Universal expects a queue of about 30 minutes, but people won't be waiting around idly doing nothing they'll be walking through the pets' homes, which are filled with all sorts of interactive media (be sure to check the door mail slots, though not all of them open).

The original voice cast, including Dana Carvey, Kevin Hart, and Eric Stonestreet, reprised their roles for the ride by recording new dialogue.Universal Studios worked together with the team at Illumination to make sure that the attraction was as close to the films as possible. The Secret Life of Pets: Off the Leash! was been in development for two-and-a-half years.
