🎙 What is episode 45 of OORlando about?
In this episode, Rick and Willem take you through their first experiences with Epic Universe:
🔍 What is Epic Universe?
Epic Universe is the third major park at the Universal Orlando Resort and opened in May 2025. Unlike traditional theme parks, this park is set up as a collection of five separate worlds that you reach through the central Celestial Park.
Each world has its own atmosphere, soundtrack and gateway, so you really feel like you are stepping into a new universe.
What can you expect at Universal's newest park?

Epic Universe opened on May 22, 2025 and is the newest theme park within Universal Orlando Resort.
Epic Universe consists of five worlds: Super Nintendo World, Dark Universe, Wizarding World: Ministry of Magic, Isle of Berk and Celestial Park. You'll find spectacular attractions, interactive experiences, shows, stores and restaurants in fully themed environments.
Epic Universe is more modern and immersive than the existing parks. The biggest difference is the layout: you enter each world through a separate portal from Celestial Park, making each zone feel like its own mini-park.
Definitely! Especially Isle of Berk (How to Train Your Dragon) and Super Nintendo World are ideal for families. There are also exciting attractions for older children and adults in Dark Universe, among others.
