Universal Orlando Resort is already a fan favorite and popular destination, and its appeal is set to soar even higher with the introduction of Universal Epic Universe in 2025.

Universal likes to keep new projects under wraps for as long as possible, but we finally have some details about its “most ambitious theme park yet,” featuring 5 immersive worlds, home to exciting attractions, shopping, dining, and more.

Fans of all ages will have something to look forward to at this epic theme park with features like The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic, SUPER NINTENDO WORLD, How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk, and more.

Let’s take a look at all of the details.

Universal Epic Universe Worlds

Universal Epic Universe will have 5 immersive worlds, but to reach 4 of them, guests will need to pass through Celestial Park first.

Celestial Park

Celestial Park will be the first area that guests encounter in the new Universal Epic Universe. It will also be the gateway to the other worlds.

Universal wants to “put the ‘park’ back in ‘theme park'” and will do that by featuring acres of rolling gardens, green spaces, waterfalls, and more in Celestial Park.

This lush area will give guests the option to relax, eat, shop, and even experience some attractions, including Stardust Racers, Constellation Carousel, and the wet-play area Astronomica.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic will be one of the 5 new worlds at Universal Epic Universe.

While details are scarce at the moment, Universal describes the new world as “a place where guests will discover a different era of the wizarding world in an all-new land that blends 1920s wizarding Paris from Warner Bros. Pictures’ Fantastic Beasts films with the iconic British Ministry of Magic from the Harry Potter series.”

Fans of those films are sure to be excited about that possibility.

SUPER NINTENDO WORLD

Mario fans young and old are looking forward to a SUPER NINTENDO WORLD at Universal Epic Universe in Orlando, Florida.

How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk
