Universal’s eagerly anticipated new theme park, Epic Universe, is set to open in May 2025. This exciting development was revealed recently, promising a thrilling immersive entertainment experience like no other.
Entertainment group Universal announced plans for this grand opening, highlighting their goal to deliver an entire universe of experiences with a level of detail and intricacy never before seen. The sprawling park will be sited in Orlando, Florida and will be the first new Universal theme park in America in over twenty years.
Epic Universe will be spread over a vast expanse of 750 acres, almost doubling Universal’s total property in Orlando. The entire area will be divided into dedicated zones, each filled with their unique set of attractions, dining spots, shopping areas, and entertainment venues. In addition, it will feature a dedicated hotel – a first for Universal parks – promising a seamless and immersive park experience for all its visitors.
It’s not just about the rides in Epic Universe, as there will be various experiential spaces that will encourage exploration and discovery among its visitors. This is in line with Universal’s approach to offer a more immersive, engaging visitor experience.
Much of the anticipation around Epic Universe surrounds the specific franchises that will get their lands within the park. While details about the specific plans are kept tightly under wraps, speculators suggest that Universal’s recent hit franchises, including Illumination’s Minions and Legendary’s Pacific Rim may have notable presences.
Despite the global challenges brought on by the pandemic, Universal remained undeterred in their aspiration to continue expanding their parks worldwide. The promise of Epic Universe, to offer something beyond what’s typical in theme parks, reiterates the company’s commitment to innovation and creative storytelling within their parks.
People keen on visiting should hit the ground running once it opens in May 2025 because there’s no doubt that this place will be crowded. It will give its visitors a unique experience that will transport them into different universes within our own. The wait will be worth it!
