Universal has something epic in store for thrill-seekers this spring.
The company announced that its newest theme park, Universal Epic Universe, will open at Universal Orlando Resort on May 22, 2025.
Dubbed Universal Destinations and Experiences' most ambitious theme part, Epic Universe will have 50 immersive experiences and five themed "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.
"This is such a pivotal moment for our destination, and we’re thrilled to welcome guests to Epic Universe next year," Universal Orlando Resort president and COO Karen Irwin said. "With the addition of this spectacular new theme park, our guests will embark on an unforgettable vacation experience with a week’s worth of thrills that will be nothing short of epic! Our Universe will never be the same."
Sitting at the end of the park will be the new Universal Helios Grand Hotel. The 500-room property includes scenic views of Epic Universe and has a dedicated entrance into the park.
