Epic Universe: What You Need to Know About this BRAND NEW Theme Park!

Universal's Epic Universe is officially open and it is unlike anything else in Orlando. We spent two full days exploring all five worlds during the passholder preview — riding the rides, eating the food, staying at the Helios Grand Hotel and taking in every detail. Here is everything you need to know before you visit. 🌌 CELESTIAL PARK (The Hub) ✦ The main entrance area — built around the concept of the cosmos with portals to four other worlds ✦ Stardust Racers — dueling launch roller coaster built by the same architect as VelociCoaster. Our favorite ride in the park. ✦ Dining: Meteor Astro Pub (mobile order to your table — game changer) ✦ Shopping: Other Worlds Mercantile & Moonship Chocolates ⚡ WIZARDING WORLD OF HARRY POTTER — MINISTRY OF MAGIC ✦ The most stunning land we've ever walked into — bigger than Diagon Alley and more immersive. It rivals the best themed areas in any theme park ✦ Café L'air de La Sirene — the French onion soup is one of the best we've ever had. ✦ Le Cabinet Noir — dungeon bar, gorgeous, great place to cool off ✦ Harry Potter and the Battle of the Ministry — The queue is stunning! ✦ Le Cirque Arcanus Show — the best theme park show we have ever seen. Full stop. Do not skip this. We cried. ✦ Tip: apply your passholder discount right through the app at the table 🍄 SUPER NINTENDO WORLD (including Donkey Kong Country) ✦ You enter through a green tube — the Mario sound effects alone are worth it ✦ Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge — augmented reality visor technology unlike anything we've experienced. A must ride ✦ Donkey Kong Country — Mine Cart Madness has crazy lines for a short ride ✦ Warning: Nintendo World is a bowl shape with minimal shade. Get there early in summer — it is going to be HOT ✦ Dining: Toad's Stool Café 🐉 ISLE OF BERK (How to Train Your Dragon) ✦ The biggest world at 15 acres — absolutely stunning Viking village theming ✦ Fire Drill water ride — you WILL get soaked, totally worth it ✦ Hiccup's Wing Gliders — family friendly story coaster, somewhere between Slinky Dog and Hagrid's ✦ The mac and cheese crusty cones at Grog & Grill — best snack in the entire park. Get the pulled pork version ✦ The Mead Hall — Swedish meatballs with lingonberry jam (better than IKEA) ✦ Toothless meet & greet — 90 minute wait, adorable, plan ahead 🧟 DARK UNIVERSE ✦ Classic Universal monsters — Dracula, Frankenstein, Invisible Man, Creature from the Black Lagoon ✦ Monsters Unchained — incredible storytelling, stunning animatronics, similar technology to Hogwarts Castle ride but significantly upgraded ✦ Curse of the Werewolf — rotating coaster, fun for all ages ✦ Burning Blade Tavern — great vibe, character meets nearby 🏨 HELIOS GRAND HOTEL ✦ Staying on property gives you early entry to two worlds before park open — a massive advantage on popular rides ✦ Pool access between park sessions — we highly recommend one night minimum 📌 TIPS BEFORE YOU GO ✦ Plan for two full park days minimum to experience everything ✦ Mobile order to your table at every quick service — no counter lines ✦ Shade is limited right now — the trees will grow in over time ✦ The park entrance through Kronos is stunning — take it all in 🏰 Planning an Epic Universe or Universal Orlando vacation?
