Universal Orlando Resort is gearing up for an BIG new chapter with the much-anticipated Epic Universe Theme Park, set to open in May 22, 2025. This park, poised to be one of the most immersive experiences in theme park history, will be a game-changer for Universal fans and newcomers alike.
Complementing the park will be new resorts that promise to elevate the vacation experience even further. Here’s everything we know so far about the upcoming park and its corresponding resorts.
Epic Universe: A New Kind of Theme Park
Universal’s Epic Universe is shaping up to be unlike anything the entertainment giant has ever done before. Located a few miles from the existing Universal Orlando Resort, Epic Universe will be the third theme park in the Universal portfolio and its most ambitious to date.
The park’s design promises a sprawling, immersive experience that brings guests into entirely new worlds! Universal has already accomplished so much with popular areas like The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
However, Epic Universe is taking it to the next level, creating multiple themed areas that spark excitement, each with its own unique environment, attractions, and entertainment.
Worlds and Attractions
While Universal has kept some details under wraps, a few key themed areas have been confirmed:
– Super Nintendo World: After huge success in Japan and Universal Studios Hollywood, this interactive and gaming-inspired world is expected to be a major attraction. It will immerse guests in the universe of Mario, Luigi, and their friends with interactive experiences, and plenty of nostalgia.
– Dark Universe: A thrilling and eerie land dedicated to Universal’s iconic monsters, like Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Wolfman. Expect dark rides and haunted experiences perfect for those who love a good fright.
– The Wizarding World of Harry Potter- Ministry of Magic: The Wizarding World expands further, with a new area based on the international Ministries and more. This will likely tie into the Harry Potter universe but offer fresh, magical adventures.
– How to Train Your Dragon: Isle of Berk: Visit the colorful world of Vikings and soar through the air like dragons. Innovative attractions, shows and dining are promised.
– Celestial Park: In the entrance to Epic Universe the sky is no limit. This area will be the gateway to the 4 distinct lands. The cosmos is your playground.
Additionally, Epic Universe will also feature cutting-edge rides, innovative technology, and immersive environments that allow visitors to lose themselves in the worlds of their favorite franchises.
The New Resorts
Universal understands that a groundbreaking park requires equally impressive accommodations. Three new resorts will officially debut with the opening of Epic Universe. Each offers unique theming, amenities and pricing.
The new Universal property hotels have it all! For luxury and amazing views of the new park, Grand Helios- a Loews Hotel, will provide both. Looking for a value stay with a prime location and amenities? Terra Luna and Stella Nova will fit your needs.
