Truly epic in every sense of the word, Universal Studios has shared the first glimpses of the upcoming Universal Epic Universe as part of the Universal Orlando Resort in Florida, US. The fourth theme park of the resort will have astounding never-seen-before attractions, rides, dining and shopping destinations, and luxury hotels. So, get ready for the adventure of a lifetime as the gates swing open in 2025.

Universal Epic Universe spans 750 acres (over 3 square km). It will have five stunning worlds — Celestial Park, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic, Super Nintendo World, How To Train Your Dragon — Isle of Berk, and Dark Universe. Within them, lie over 50 unprecedented and unforgettable experiences.

Universal Studios released an announcement video on January 30, 2024, which details the 500-room lavish hotel next to the park.

This colossal project has been underway since 2019 and was expected to be ready by 2023 but was delayed because of the pandemic. The Universal Epic Universe joins the line of other magnificent parks — Universal Studios Florida, Universal Islands of Adventure and Universal’s Volcano Bay water park.

More about the five themed worlds, their offerings and other details

Celestial Park

“Celestial Park is the cosmic heart of Universal Epic Universe, where wondrous discoveries await among the lush greenery, tree-lined walkways and dancing fountains. Begin your cosmic journey of discovery in a world between worlds full of sensory delights for all to enjoy together,” states Universal Studios.

This is your first destination in the new Universal theme park that connects all the other worlds. The magnum opus is aptly described as a “world in and of itself” by Brian Robinson, Chief Creative Officer, of Universal Creative.

Setting the stage for what’s in store, the entry itself is quite a spectacle. Dotted with gardens, beautiful waterways and several shopping destinations, the Celestial Park is the key to the portal.

Among many things, the new racing coaster called Starfall Racers and the lively Constellation Carousel are the highlights. Enjoy the beautiful pathways, gorgeous architecture and animated fountains and waterfalls.

Another major attraction is the Astronomica. “An interactive wet-play attraction designed as a compass rose that points to the portals and attractions around Epic,” it lights up at night for an extravagant view, states a Universal Studios blog.

This is a haven for shoppers. Visit the Nintendo Super Store for official toys, merchandise, apparel and souvenirs. For those looking to satiate their taste buds, details of two themed restaurants have been revealed — Atlantic and The Blue Dragon Pan-Asian Restaurant.

The Atlantic will be surrounded by shimmering waters of Neptune’s pool and feature floor-to-ceiling Victorian glass walls. It will offer fresh seafood and surf and turf options.

Meanwhile, The Blue Dragon lives up to its name with neon dragons and a pan-Asian menu with delicacies from China and Japan. Visitors get to dine under lanterns and glowing constellations. They can also grab a drink at the Tiger Bar.

The Helios Grand Hotel is also located next to the Celestial Park and is within walking distance from the Epic. It “offers a fantastical world where the heavens and earth unite to elevate your stay at Universal Epic Universe,” states Universal Studios. The full-service hotel has celestial decor and a Mediterranean theme about it.

The Stella Nova and Terra Luna hotels also offer a resplendent staying option. Although they feature the same galactic and constellation theme, both have different offerings.

Both hotels will have 750 guest rooms each, resort-style amenities and several food and drink options. While Stella Nova opens on January 21, 2025, Terra Luna opens on February 25, 2025. Visitors can book their rooms now.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic

The Fantastic Beasts franchise is the muse for this themed world. Guests can step into Paris of the 1920s and traverse to the British Ministry of Magic in the 1990s. “Explore international wizarding communities and the magic that connects them in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ – Ministry of Magic™,” states Universal Studios.

This comes as Universal Studios’ third Harry Potter-themed park after Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley.

Super Nintendo World

Next in the Epic Universe is this adventurous world where you can relive the Nintendo experience in person. From a Mario Kart race to venturing through Donkey Kong Country™, there is a lot to look forward to here.

This themed world comes in line with other Universal Studios’ Super Nintendo parks in California and Japan.

How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk

Want to unleash your inner warrior? Visitors can head to the Isle of Berk in this themed world to reach the skies with dragons. Revive the How To Train Your Dragon film franchise experience through the Viking village at the centre of Berk, participate in boat battles and dine like Viking lords.

Dark Universe

Taking cues from the Universal Monsters, it carries visitors back to the dens of Dracula and Frankenstein. The official description states, “From the experiments of Dr. Victoria Frankenstein to a shadowy landscape where monsters roam, Dark Universe is a world of myth and mystery.”
