Universal Orlando Resort is expanding its attractions with the introduction of a new theme park, Epic Universe, slated to open in 2025. This park will encompass five distinct immersive worlds. Among these are The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, which will bring fan-favorite locations like Hogwarts Castle, Diagon Alley, Hogsmeade, and the Hogwarts Express to life. Additionally, the park will feature a Super Nintendo World, How to Train Your Dragon land, and Dark Universe—a realm inspired by Universal's classic monsters.

The central feature of Epic Universe will be Celestial Park, which will serve as the heart of the park, akin to a "Main Street, USA" hub. This central area is described to have astronomical and mythological architecture, set within a scenic backdrop of water features and lush greenery. Visitors will also discover a 1920s wizarding Paris as part of a Ministry of Magic addition, drawing inspiration from the "Fantastic Beasts" film series. Beyond these highlights, Universal promises over 50 attractions, entertainment options, and dining experiences throughout the park, aiming to provide a comprehensive and diverse theme park experience.
