The rapid pace of construction at Orlando’s newest theme park, Universal Epic Universe, is something you have to see to believe! Today we headed out to the site to get some incredible views of the latest development, which you can watch in the video above!
Overview and Entrance
Epic Universe is an upcoming theme park located in Orlando, Florida. The park is targeting a Summer 2025 opening. Epic Universe will be home to Super Nintendo World, Dark Universe, Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and How to Train Your Dragon. A multitude of roller coasters and family attractions are under construction.
First, outside the entrance to the park, several hotels are coming to life. These include the “Universal Stella Nova Resort” and “Universal Terra Luna Resort.” Both hotels share the same pill-shaped window design, to be complemented by exterior glass paneling.
The yet-to-be-installed multi-colored glass panels are visible on a test piece we spotted. Wow! We hope local residents don’t have their property values affected by these crazy multi-colored facades!
At the entrance to the park, column work has begun on the Park’s future entrance archway.
Hub Attractions
Past the entrance is an octagonal building which will be home to a table service restaurant.
Outside Super Nintendo World, there is an eye-catching dome. This recently installed dome will house the “Constellation Carousel” family ride.
Super Nintendo World
Inside Super Nintendo World, the first bit of finished theming has been installed by the “Yoshi’s Adventure” ride.
Out the back of Super Nintendo World is the Donkey Kong area. This part of the land will be home to the highly anticipated Donkey Kong Mine Cart roller coaster!
Dark Universe
At Dark Universe, which will be home to Universal Classic Monsters, theming work is well underway on the entrance portal. The land’s attractions, a family coaster and a dark ride, are coming along nicely too.
Universal Grand Helios Hotel
Epic Universe’s main hotel will be the “Universal Helios Grand Hotel.” The second floor has now been poured and work is beginning on the columns to support the third floor.
Wizarding World of Harry Potter
Next, at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, theming work is underway on the entrance portal. Past the entrance portal is a giant arch, based on the Porte Saint-Denis arch in Paris, France.
The scale of this Wizarding World, themed to Paris, is something rarely seen in theme parks.
This Wizarding World will feature a Ministry of Magic attraction, where guests head via Floo Network from Wizarding Paris to London, England and take part in a rumored elevator-based attraction.
Starfall Racers Coaster
Starfall Racers is the park’s most eye-catching roller coaster (a big compliment given how many coasters there are). This massive coaster features a dueling track layout. Track work is now complete on the attraction and landscaping has already begun on the site!
How To Train Your Dragon
Lastly, we have the How to Train Your Dragon-themed land. The statues at the entrance just had their scaffolding removed. Looking good!
The How to Train Your Dragon area will feature a family boat attraction, a theater show, a “Great Hall” restaurant, a family coaster, and a Skyfly attraction.
That’s all Folks!
