Universal Orlando Resort has unveiled a sneak peek at its eagerly awaited new theme park, Epic Universe, giving fans an exclusive preview of the captivating realms and exhilarating rides scheduled to launch upon the park’s opening on May 22. From the celestial portal that greets Universal visitors as they enter the park to vast areas inspired by popular franchises such as Harry Potter, How to Train Your Dragon, Super Mario, and Universal’s classic monsters, Epic Universe is taking shape to become one of the most ambitious theme park expansions ever made.
The journey commences in Celestial Park, the primary centerpiece of Epic Universe, where visitors will initially set foot. A breathtaking entrance archway, adorned with a message that reads, “Beyond this arch, find verdant gardens and fantastical realms to fuel your imagination,” establishes the atmosphere. Inside, visitors uncover The Chronos Device, a perplexing artifact rumored to power the inter-dimensional technology that binds each of the park’s domains. This tower is embellished with design aspects representing diverse worlds, reinforcing the park’s broader theme of exploration and enlightenment.
At Epic Universe, they’re offering a fresh perspective on J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World, taking visitors not to Hogwarts or Diagon Alley, but to the Ministry of Magic instead. One of the most exciting attractions will be Le Cirque Arcanus, an exquisitely crafted live performance that blends talented performers, puppetry, and breathtaking special effects. The narrative revolves around Ringmaster Skender, who acquires Newt Scamander’s magical suitcase, leading to a captivating display of magical creatures and mayhem.

For adrenaline junkies seeking a scarier journey, Dark Universe presents a fresh perspective on Universal’s classic monster saga. The star attraction, Monsters Unchained, invites visitors to venture into the castle of Victor Frankenstein, now governed by his descendant, Victoria Frankenstein. The line-up itself is designed to be exhilarating, blending moving backgrounds, static exhibits, projections, and numerous jump scares to keep guests on high alert.
Transforming DreamWorks Animation’s popular “How to Train Your Dragon” series into reality, Isle of Berk will stand as the biggest among the four thematic areas within Epic Universe. Going beyond typical rides and attractions, this realm will offer live entertainment, such as a Viking band playing music across the area. Additionally, visitors can engage with beloved characters Hiccup and Toothless, further enhancing the overall experience by providing interactive opportunities.
Enthusiasts of the classic game “Super Mario” will have the long-awaited opportunity to enter their beloved video game world with Super Nintendo World, an engaging land brimming with exhilarating attractions and interactive experiences. A major draw is Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge, a fast-paced, augmented reality dark ride where visitors can compete in races through the vibrant chaos of the “Mario Kart” world. For families seeking a more relaxed adventure, Yoshi’s Adventure invites guests to climb aboard a Yoshi and traverse a fantastical journey in search of luminous eggs. Meanwhile, Donkey Kong Country – Mine-Cart Madness expansion will debut a fresh mine-cart coaster, recreating the cherished platform game using state-of-the-art ride technology.
