Disney World’s Challenger Epic Universe Announces Opening Date
Universal Orlando Resort has just announced that their new theme park, Epic Universe, will open its doors on May 22, 2025. Ticket sales have now started, and there is great excitement about what the new park will be like.
Epic Universe is Universal’s third major theme park in Orlando, and it promises to be a worthy competitor to Disney World with its innovative attractions and unique themed lands.
Epic Universe will consist of five different themed lands, each with its own unique theme and attractions. At the heart of the park is Celestial Park, a lush garden with serene waterways and a grand carousel. This area serves as the gateway to the other four lands, all of which can be accessed through magical portals.
Super Nintendo World will take guests into the world of video games, where they can experience adventures with Mario, Princess Peach, and other well-known characters. This area will also include Donkey Kong Country, which will be available in the USA for the first time.
How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk will give visitors the chance to live among Vikings and dragons, with exciting attractions and character encounters based on the popular film series.
Dark Universe will offer a darker experience, where guests can explore a village filled with legendary monsters like Dracula, the Werewolf, and Frankenstein’s monster. This area promises to be both scary and fascinating, with attractions like Frankenstein Manor, one of Universal’s most ambitious and frightening rides ever.
Finally, we have The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic, which combines the magic of 1920s Paris from the Fantastic Beasts films with the iconic British Ministry of Magic from the Harry Potter series. This area will include fantastic dining options, magical shops, and a groundbreaking attraction that promises to be one of the most impressive in Universal Orlando’s history.
With a multitude of attractions, dining options, and entertainment experiences, Epic Universe will offer something for all ages and interests. The park is strategically located near the Orange County Convention Center and will be connected to Universal’s existing parks by shuttle buses.
The opening of Epic Universe marks a new era for theme parks in Orlando, and there is no doubt that the competition between Universal and Disney will become even more intense.
