The newest entertainment park at Universal Orlando Resort is set to open on May 22, 2025, in Florida.
An amazing attraction
"This is such a pivotal moment for our destination, and we’re thrilled to welcome guests to Epic Universe next year," stated Karen Irwin, President of Universal Orlando Resort, as quoted by Fox News Digital. "With the addition of this spectacular new theme park, our guests will embark on an unforgettable vacation experience with a week’s worth of thrills that will be nothing short of epic! Our Universe will never be the same," the statement continued.
Epic Universe will feature five themed worlds for visitors: Celestial Park, the wizarding world of Harry Potter, Super Nintendo World, Dark Universe, and a zone based on the books and film "How to Train Your Dragon."
Tourists will be delighted
The park will also feature three hotels and over 50 other attractions. There will also be a dining area.
Tickets for Epic Universe will be released in stages starting October 22, 2024. This is to manage the anticipated high demand and ensure guests have a unique experience. The first phase of sales will include only tickets related to vacation packages or multi-day tickets. Additionally, holders of annual passes to Universal Orlando will have the opportunity to purchase a one-day ticket starting in October. For now, exact prices are not given. However, it can be expected that tickets will be around $134 (CAD 185), as this is the cost for an adult entry to other parks in the network.
Epic Universe will be the third full-fledged theme park at Universal Orlando, joining the existing: Universal Studios Florida (opened in 1990) and Universal’s Islands of Adventure (opened in 1999). Additionally, Universal Orlando has the Volcano Bay water park, which began operation in 2017.
