Epic Universe- Here’s Everything You Need to Know!
If you're a theme park lover or planning a magical family vacation, then buckle up – because Epic Universe, Universal Orlando’s most ambitious theme park yet, is set to redefine what it means to experience a world-class adventure. Epic Universe will transport guests into multiple worlds through immersive “portals,” thrilling rides, spellbinding shows, and jaw-dropping lands.
At Let’s Talk Travel, we’re beyond excited to help you plan your first journey into this next-generation park. Here’s a sneak peek at everything we know.
✨ What Is Epic Universe?
Epic Universe is Universal Orlando’s fourth theme park (behind Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, and Volcano Bay), designed as a fully immersive destination built with expansive themed lands—each entered through a magical “portal.” Rather than traditional themed zones branching off from a central hub, Epic Universe takes a more cinematic approach: each land is its own world with unique rides, food, entertainment, and atmosphere.
🌀 The Portals: Gateway to Adventure
Visitors will enter Epic Universe through a central Celestial Park, with shimmering fountains, gardens, and cosmic architecture. From there, you’ll find portals to the four worlds (and possibly more in the future). Let’s explore each one:
🌌 Celestial Park – The Heart of Epic Universe
This is the central hub and your entry point to all other lands. It’s not just a thoroughfare—Celestial Park is a land of its own with:
Stardust Racers – a dual-launch roller coaster with interweaving tracks and high-speed thrills.
Astronomica – an interactive water play zone and kinetic sculpture garden.
Constellation Carousel – a whimsical, slow-spinning ride with glowing animal figures and cosmic music.
Fine dining, shopping, and even a hotel overlooking the park, making it the ultimate gateway to the multiverse of fun.
🧙 The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic
Fans of the boy who lived, rejoice! This brand-new Wizarding World will combine elements of the French wizarding community from Fantastic Beasts and the British Ministry of Magic.
Features include:
A major dark ride involving magical law enforcement and wizard duels.
Immersive architecture straight from the films, with shopping, dining, and interactive wand zones.
Next-level live shows that bring wizarding culture to life.
🐉 How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk
Based on DreamWorks’ beloved franchise, this land will capture the Viking village of Berk with high-flying adventure for all ages.
Features include:
Hiccup’s Wing Gliders – a family coaster that simulates flying with your dragon.
Dragon Racer Rally – a spinning glide ride designed for younger visitors.
An incredible live show featuring dragons and Viking battles.
Play areas, themed dining halls, and dragons everywhere you turn.
🎮 Super Nintendo World
Already a hit in Japan and California, this version of Super Nintendo World is expected to be the largest and most technologically advanced yet.
Attractions include:
Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge – a groundbreaking AR racing ride through Bowser’s castle.
Yoshi’s Adventure – a slow-moving ride great for kids and families.
Donkey Kong Mine Cart Madness – a high-speed coaster using a "boom coaster" system to simulate track jumping!
Power-Up Bands will allow interactive play and games throughout the land.
🧛 Dark Universe – Classic Monsters Reimagined
A thrilling gothic land that pays homage to Universal’s classic monsters with a dark and mysterious twist.
Attractions include:
A werewolf-themed roller coaster with spinning, launching, and backwards elements.
A high-tech dark ride and a favorite of many — Frankenstein’s Manor.
Spooky character encounters with The Invisible Man, The Bride of Frankenstein, Ygor, and more.
This land blends gothic horror and modern storytelling, making it a favorite for teens and adults.
🎭 Entertainment & Shows
Universal is known for its top-tier entertainment, and Epic Universe will take that to the next level. You can expect:
Nighttime spectaculars in Celestial Park using fountains, lights, drones, and music.
Unique shows and performances in every portal—from dragon flights to wizard duels.
Roving street performers and atmospheric entertainment that bring each land to life.
🏨 Staying in the Universe
The Universal Helios Grand Hotel will sit right inside Epic Universe with direct access to Celestial Park—making it the first hotel located inside a Universal theme park (and the first hotel inside any theme park in Florida). Expect luxurious rooms, early park entry, themed dining, and an unbeatable view of the action.
