Exiting news for Universal Orlando’s newest theme park! Epic Universe will open May 22, 2025. Multi-day tickets will go on sale October 22nd, which will be the same day guests can book reservations at select hotels. Universal says single-day tickets to Epic Universe will be launched at a later date.
The new park, part of a 750-acre development, will be the biggest of Universal Orlando’s three theme parks. Epic Universe will feature five new worlds with more than 50 awe-inspiring attractions, entertainment, dining and shopping experiences.
Celestial Park will be the first world guests enter at the park. It will feature relaxing gardens, a “wet play area,” a grand carousel and Starfall Racers, a dual-launch racing roller coaster with 5,000 feet of track and speeds up to 62 miles per hour. Celestial Park will also serve as the gateway to Epic Universe’s four other worlds, which will be accessed by themed portals.
Dark Universe will delight fans of Universal’s popular Halloween Horror Nights. Universal says guests can expect to encounter everything from the experiments of Dr. Victoria Frankenstein to the shadowy landscape where monsters roam in a world of myth and mystery.
How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk will give fans of the “How to Train Your Dragon” franchise a chance to finally soar with dragons like Hiccup, Astrid and their fellow Dragon Riders do on screen.
Super Nintendo World, which made its U.S. debut at Universal Studios Hollywood last year, will bring guests into the fan-favorite video game franchise for adventures with Mario, Princess Peach and more.
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic will be an all-new land that blends 1920s wizarding Paris from Warner Bros. Pictures’ ‘Fantastic Beasts’ films with the iconic British Ministry of Magic from the Harry Potter series.
New Hotel Experiences
A newly announced Universal Helios Grand Hotel will be located inside Epic Universe, at the end of Celestial Park. It will feature 500 rooms and its own access to the park.
