Take a look at this map. Right now, only some of this actually exists, but soon, Universal Epic Universe will open near Universal Orlando and bring a TON of new rides, shows, restaurants, and shops to Orlando. Who’s excited?
So far, all we really know about the opening date is that Epic Universe will open in 2025 (but we’re closely watching and patiently waiting for an exact opening date). This new park is set to be Universal’s “most ambitious theme park yet,” and “Epic Universe will present a level of theme park immersion and innovation that is unmatched.” Whew! That sounds promising, right? Look out for over 50 new attractions, plus new entertainment, dining, and shopping. This expansion is so big that Universal revealed it will nearly double the size of Universal Orlando Resort.
OK, now that you’ve got the gist, let’s talk about where we’re at right now. We’ve got to wait about a year at this point for Epic Universe to open. Construction is looking pretty far along, and Universal has been dropping hints and new concept art in preparation for the grand opening.
Recently, Universal even shared a TON of new information about one of the new lands coming to Epic Universe. It’s called How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk and will feature new rides and all kinds of other new experiences inspired by the How to Train Your Dragon franchise.
But meanwhile, over at Universal Orlando, we’ve started seeing some NEW Epic Universe souvenirs already for sale! Yep, you’ll be able to walk into the new theme park all dressed up with your exclusive merchandise. Wanna see what we found at the Universal Studios Store in CityWalk?
