Universal’s Epic Universe: Five Lands, One Giant Leap for Theme Park Kind

Orlando is about to get a whole lot more epic. Universal’s Epic Universe, opening May 22, 2025, promises five immersive lands that could make even the most seasoned theme park aficionados drop their churros in awe. Here’s a sneak peek at the realms set to redefine your roller coaster expectations:

1. Celestial Park: The Cosmic Concourse

Serving as the park’s central hub, Celestial Park is where your journey begins. Think of it as Main Street, U.S.A., but with more stars and fewer marching bands. Highlights include the Stardust Racers, a dual-launch coaster that lets you race through the cosmos, and the Constellation Carousel, where you can ride zodiac-inspired creatures under a twinkling canopy. Need to refuel? Dine at the Atlantic, a Victorian aquarium-themed restaurant, or grab a bite at the Blue Dragon Pan-Asian Restaurant.

2. Super Nintendo World: Level Up IRL

Gamers, rejoice! Step into the Mushroom Kingdom and beyond. Race through Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge, embark on a treasure hunt with Yoshi’s Adventure, or brave the Mine-Cart Madness coaster in Donkey Kong Country. Don’t forget to power up at the Toadstool Café and snag some merch at the 1-UP Factory.

3. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic

Dive into the depths of the British Ministry of Magic, where spells fly and paperwork piles up. The marquee attraction, Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry, takes you on a whirlwind adventure featuring familiar faces and a few surprises. Catch a live performance at Le Cirque Arcanus or sip on a Butterbeer at Bar Moonshine.

4. How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk: Soar with the Vikings

Ever wanted to ride a dragon? Now’s your chance. Join Hiccup and Toothless on Hiccup’s Wing Gliders, cool off on the interactive boat ride Fyre Drill, or test your mettle at the Viking Training Camp. Feast like a Viking at Mead Hall or grab a quick bite at Spit Fyre Grill.

5. Dark Universe: Embrace the Shadows

Enter a realm where classic monsters roam. In Darkmoor Village, Dr. Victoria Frankenstein’s experiments have gone awry, unleashing creatures of the night. Experience the chaos on Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment, and keep an eye out for Dracula’s minions lurking in the shadows.

With these five lands, Universal’s Epic Universe isn’t just a theme park—it’s a multiverse of adventure waiting to be explored. Mark your calendars and prepare for a journey that’s truly out of this world!!!!🌍
