There are plenty of reasons why you might want to visit Universal Orlando — from Jurassic Park to Harry Potter and even some classic Marvel characters, we certainly can’t choose a favorite.

And soon enough, it’ll be even harder to decide on a favorite thanks to the brand new Epic Universe theme park currently under construction. The new park will be home to more Harry Potter, Super Nintendo World, and even a How to Train Your Dragon land. Let’s check in on some recent construction progress.
Epic Universe is set to open in 2025 and that means we’ll soon have a whole new theme park to explore. While we wait, we checked in on some construction progress thanks to @bioreconstruct on Twitter. Let’s take a look a what’s been going on!
Here we can see a wide overview of some construction, like a large fountain, the in-park hotel, a Harry Potter land, and a How to Train Your Dragon Land featuring a NEW roller coaster.

We also got a closer look at the dual-racing roller coaster, but so far we don’t have too many details about this one.

Moving over to How to Train Your Dragon Land, we’ve got a closer look at some scaffolding, but you can also see a decent portion of the roller coaster track from the outside. And, we can see that there will eventually be a bridge over the coaster.
