Universal Epic Universe is officially opening in May 2025 in Orlando, Florida and Universal Orlando Resort have announced that this highly anticipated new theme park will be home to five immersive worlds. These worlds will transport you to alternate realities beyond anything you have ever experienced and will no doubt feature thrilling rollercoasters and rides, excellent character theming and plenty of surprises around every twist and turn.
While anticipation continues to build for the 2025 opening of Epic Universe, Universal Orlando Resort has now revealed exciting details about the theming of its five immersive worlds. From racing through Mario Kart in SUPER NINTENDO WORLD to encountering monsters in the spine-chilling Dark Universe, each land promises unique adventures, adrenaline-rushing rides, and unforgettable experiences – here’s everything we know!
Celestial Park
Celestial Park is the cosmic heart of Universal Epic Universe, and it is a world that promises to be full of sensory delights. Celestial Park will also be home to some thrilling rides, excellent entertainment, dining options and so much more. While details have been kept under lock and key on the world’s mentioned below, Universal Orlando Resort have given us some insight into the exciting attractions we can enjoy in Celestial Park. For the rollercoaster fans, Starfall Racers is going to be a coaster on your bucket list. This thrilling dual-launch coaster will reach speeds of 62 mph with a 133-foot maximum height and a signature ‘Celestial Spin’ inversion . For something a little tamer, though exciting in other ways, check out the Constellation Carousel, an imaginative ride that will whirl and twirl you through the stars. If immersive dining is your thing, add Atlantic to your list. This undersea adventure is fine dining done differently. Enjoy exceptional seafood and steak surrounded by giant illuminated fish as they swim gracefully above you.
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic
It’s incredibly exciting to see that The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is being extended to Epic Universe. With a presence in both Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, it’s a natural fit to continue the witchcraft and wizardry of this world to Epic Universe. Not much detail has been released just yet on what visiting wizards and witches (and muggles) can expect in this new Harry Potter world, but what we do know so far is that visitors will be transported through various time zones from 1920s Paris to the 1990s British Ministry. The world will give all who visit the opportunity to explore international wizarding communities and the connection they each share to make The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic so special.
One of the most anticipated highlights is the ground-breaking new ride, Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry. In this thrilling adventure, you’ll join Harry, Ron, and Hermione on a high-stakes chase through the Ministry of Magic. With cutting-edge ride technology, immersive storytelling, and plenty of magical surprises, it promises to be an unforgettable experience for fans of all ages.
SUPER NINTENDO WORLD
SUPER NINTENDO WORLD is set to bring the lively world of Nintendo to life at Epic Universe, with confirmed attractions including Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge, an interactive ride that puts guests in the middle of a high-speed race using cutting-edge augmented reality technology. The land will also feature immersive gameplay zones, themed dining experiences, and the newly confirmed Donkey Kong Country sub-land, which will include the innovative Mine Cart Madness coaster – a ground-breaking ride system that simulates leaping across broken track sections just like in the iconic game.
How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk
How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk will fully immerse guests in the vibrant Viking village from the beloved film series, with a variety of confirmed attractions and experiences. Visitors can soar through the skies on Hiccup’s Wing Gliders, a family-friendly coaster, take part in interactive boat battles at Fyre Drill, enjoy thrilling spins on Dragon Racer Rally, and experience live entertainment in a themed stage show. The land will also offer Viking-style dining at The Mead Hall, creating a truly adventurous and immersive experience for all ages.
Dark Universe
Horror fans rejoice! Dark Universe will immerse guests in a haunting world inspired by Universal’s classic monsters. This gothic land will feature a thrilling dark ride centred on Dr. Victoria Frankenstein, eerie environments, and encounters with iconic characters like Dracula, The Wolfman, and The Bride of Frankenstein. With themed dining and atmospheric details throughout, Dark Universe promises to be the most chilling and immersive land in Epic Universe.
