A Sneak Peek at Universal’s New Epic Universe Theme Park

Date:

by James Coulter 

Universal Florida is set to open its newest park, Epic Universe, a 750-acre theme park with five immersive themed lands. 

Take to the stars in Celestial Park and soar through the cosmos on the Stardust Racers coaster. 

Enter a warp pipe into Super Nintendo World and race against Mario and his friends in Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge. 

Take up a wand with Harry Potter and defend against the dark arts in the Battle For the Ministry. 

Visit the Isle of Berk from How to Train Your Dragon and take wing as you fly among dragons with Hiccup’s Wing Gliders.  

And test your courage in Dark Universe as you come face to fearsome face against classic Universal monsters in Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment. 

All of these exciting experiences and more await you at Universal’s Epic Universe, set to open on Thur. May 22. 

Recently, on the Chattin on the Ridge podcast, we were joined by local resident Kevin Keift, who had the opportunity to catch a sneak peek of the new park during a preview event.
