Universal Epic Universe is one of three theme parks in the Universal Orlando Resort in Florida, in addition to Universal Studios and Universal Islands of Adventure this is the newest park of the three, opening May 22, 2025. Using popular themes, this theme park provides a truly unique experience you won't find anywhere else!
Universal Epic Universe has a total of five different themed worlds, each area with a unique experience!
Celestial Park is the central area of Epic Universe that welcomes visitors. Through this area, you can enter a new world through various ‘portals. But Celestial Park is much more than a walk-through area. For example, this section also has several attractions like ’Stardust Racers,‘ this roller coaster lets you race in a spectacular way with high speeds and sharp turns.
For a quieter ride for all ages, ‘Constellation Carousel’ is a perfect option, this is a beautiful space themed carousel. Also, Celestial Park has several food and beverage options such as ‘Pizza Moon’ where you can order a delectable pizza and ‘Atlantic’ where you have plenty of menu choices, in an aquarium themed restaurant.
Welcome to Super Nintendo World! This area is entirely in honor of Mario & Friends. As you step into this area, there are an awful lot of recognizable Mario objects and landscapes to see. Take your time during a ride in ‘Yoshi's Adventure’ to feast your eyes! Explore this impressive area from above as you ride around on Yoshi. But the attraction ‘Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge’ is a different kind of experience, here you race through the Mario worlds with ‘Augmented and Assisted Reality glasses'on. This is a game and a Darkride in one!
In Super Nintendo World you also have the roller coaster ‘Mine-Cart Madness’ themed on Donkey Kong, in this roller coaster you go at high speed through the jungle and the world of Donkey Kong. If you are hungry after all the rides and exploring this area, ‘Toadstool Café’ is a top choice, here even the food is themed on Mario and Super Nintendo World.
Dark Universe is a dark, powerful but stunning themed area in Universal Epic Universe. Entirely in the theme of monsters and villains, Dark Universe provides an exciting atmosphere, so you can encounter familiar monsters such as ‘Dracula,’ ‘Frankenstein’ and ‘The Wolf Man.‘ The entire area takes place in ’Darkmoor,' this is a kind of cursed village filled with experiments conducted by Dr. Victoria Frankenstein.
This area has several attractions, such as ‘Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment’ where you end up in a ‘motion based’ ride and encounter various ‘’broken loose’’ monsters like ‘Dracula’ and ‘Wolf Man’. Another attraction is ‘Curse of the Werewolf’, an incredibly fast ‘spinning coaster’ where a werewolf comes after you so you have to get away fast! There is also a ‘Darkmoor Monster Makeup Experience’, where you get the chance to become a monster yourself, through the talented artists who will paint you. For monstrous appetites, ‘Das Stakehouse’ a vampire steakhouse or ‘Burning Blade Tavern’ the windmill restaurant with burning blades are highly recommended!
This Universal Park is also home to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter once again! After Diagon Alley in Universal Studios Florida and Hogsmeade in Universal Islands of Adventure, you will find ‘The Ministry of Magic’ in Epic Universe. Here you visit the magical Paris and the British Ministry of Magic, a must-see during your trip to Orlando and before visiting the ‘Harry Potter theme parks’!
In beautiful Paris you can walk around and come across many different Harry Potter themed stores, shows and restaurants. Again, you can buy your own (interactive) wand to cast spells in Universal Park. And this same wand you can also use in other Harry Potter themed parks at Universal Orlando Resort!
Meet ‘Fantastic Beasts’ in the enchanting show ’Le Cirque Arcanus’, and order a magical dish or a ’ButterBeer’ in Bar Moonshine or Le Gobelet Noir. In the British ‘Ministry of Magic’ you can find the motion simulation attraction ‘Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry’, this attraction starts for the real enthusiasts already in the queue, where you will enter the impressive ‘Ministry of Magic Hall’ which looks strikingly like the hall in the movies. During this enchanting darkride attraction, you fly on a magical elevator throughout the ‘Ministry’.

This area is completely themed based on the popular movie series ‘How to Tame a Dragon’ , no less than four different attractions can be found here! Fly like a real dragon over the island in ‘Hiccup's Wing Gliders’. In this roller coaster you get a great view of the island of ‘Berk’ at high speed. For even more action, you can also find ‘Dragon Racer's Rally,’ this interactive SkyHigh attraction lets you control your own dragon. Do a “barrel roll” and make fast dives with the dragon training.
The water attraction ‘Fyre Drill’ is also located in this part of the park, here you get into a viking boat and try to put out fires by using the water cannons on the boat. Finally, there is ‘Viking Training Camp’, here young vikings (to be) can meet dragons, climb or slide. This playground is colorful, adventurous and completely themed. As icing on the cake you can also meet ‘Toothless’ and his friends in this beautiful themed area as well as a show called ‘The Untrainable Dragon’ with action, comedy and music. A snack tip in this area is definitely the ‘Mac and Cheese cone’, where you can choose different variations in your ‘’cone’’ of bread.
