Between the recent announcement of a new land at Universal Studios Florida, the grand opening of Minion Land, and Halloween Horror Nights 2023 updates, it’s easy to forget that Universal Orlando is ALSO in the middle of building a brand-new park!

We’ve been keeping a close eye on construction progress from Universal’s Epic Universe. And we’re checking in with some construction updates bioreconstruct recently shared on Twitter. Let’s start with a look at action around the How to Train Your Dragon Land. Here’s a peek at the coaster construction progress.

There’s also what appears to be boat ride construction in this section of the park, and a potential restaurant taking shape.
