If you have plans to take your family travel to Universal Orlando Resort in the near future, you might want to wait until 2025. Earlier this week, the theme park announced details of its amazing new theme park, Epic Universe.

 

Journey to unique worlds beyond anything you’ve ever imagined. Portals will lead you to places sparking the imagination in different ways for all who enter. Transport yourself into The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic, SUPER NINTENDO WORLD, How to Train Your Dragon – Isles of Berk, Dark Universe and Celestial Park.

 

Celestial Park is set as the cosmic heart of Universal Epic Universe, where wondrous discoveries await. Stroll among lush greenery, tree-lined walkways and dazzling fountains. Begin your journey of discovery in a world full of sensory delights. Rollercoaster lovers won’t want to miss Starfall Racers, where riders race across the cosmos on a dual-launch coaster reaching incredible speeds above Celestial Park. Visitors can also ride the constellations on Constellation Carousel and enjoy unique dining.

 

Epic Universe will also feature a new hotel located inside the park, offering guests easy access to like never before. The Universal Helios Grand Hotel offers a fantastical world and luxurious accommodations for travelers.

 

Although Universal has only released details on Celestial Park, travelers can visit Universal’s YouTube channel to get a better idea of what’s to come.
