Madame Tussauds Orlando receives their first wax figure

Selena Gomez has the honor of become the first celebrity wax figure to arrive at Madame Tussauds Orlando at I-Drive 360, opening spring 2015.

“Selena” took advantage of the beautiful fall weather to explore the city’s entertainment and shopping scenes, including the future home of Madame Tussauds Orlando on International Drive, as well as making stops in downtown Orlando and the convention center.

Madame Tussauds is world-renowned for the creation of detailed and lifelike wax figures that pay homage to A-list celebrities from film and television, sports icons, musicians from all genres and notable figures from history and pop culture. Each figure is a work of art, involving teams of professional artists and sculptors who spend months on extensive research and take more than 500 measurements to recreate world-famous icons, to achieve the kind of realism that has been at the heart of the 250-year Madame Tussauds legacy.

Guests at Madame Tussauds Orlando will experience a brand new, immersive and interactive wax experience as they move through themed areas meeting their favorite film actors, to historical and modern world leaders, sports stars, music legends as well as figures important to Florida. Visitors can shake hands with a president, get on stage with rock stars and pop princesses, or get up close and personal with a Hollywood heartthrob and take the ultimate selfie.
