Years after their initial announcement of the newest Orlando Theme Park, Universal Orlando this morning peeled back the curtain with a new look at Epic Universe.

The new immersive theme park is slated to open next year, and promising to be one of the biggest events in the entire theme park space.

With it, Universal finally confirmed the five new lands coming to the park, all of which are heavily themed and multi-dynamic.

The first land is the one guests will be entering in to during their day, Celestial Park. Featuring a gigantic dual launch coaster, a state of the art carousel, and world class hotel, Celestial Park is a gorgeous looking addition that’s going to be a wonderful starting point. It also promises the best dining and shopping in the area.

Universal Orlando is also expanding their mega successful Wizarding World of Harry Potter with the Ministry of Magic. Utilizing the architecture of 1920s Paris and a world class, highly innovative ride technology Universal is keeping completely under wraps, the newest Wizarding World looks to push the Harry Potter charm to new heights with some amazing new attractions.

Following Universal Studios Japan and Universal Hollywood’s lead, Universal Orlando will now be adding Super Nintendo World to their Florida Resort. Featuring the wildly popular Mario Kart ride from Hollywood and also bringing in the Yoshi family ride and upcoming Donkey Kong Mine Cart coaster from Japan, this will be a dream come true for any fans of Nintendo’s iconic franchises.

One of Dreamworks’ biggest franchises is getting an entirely new area devoted to discovering the Viking in all of us. With some incredible theming and a world class water ride, as well as a new state of the art 4D attraction coming, joining the dragons of Berk looks to be a must-see for any fans of the How to Train Your Dragon franchise.

Universal delves into their nearly 90 year old Monsters franchise for their final land, which will see guests walking, dining, and riding along some of the most iconic cinematic monsters ever put to film. Featuring a Wolfman inspired roller coaster and a dark ride that has you traveling through Dracula’s castle, it’s a horror lovers dream (or nightmare) come true.

We’ll be here covering future updates for Epic Universe, as more information is set to come soon as we prepare for the resort’s massive 2025 opening. Which universe will you be stepping into first?
