For example, Woodbury explained that Epic Universe will utilize “facial recognition, photo validation technology” to help provide a “frictionless experience.” Could this technology be used to help guests enter the park more efficiently? We’ll have to wait and see!

Additionally, we now know that the park will be made up of four themed lands inspired by “powerful, trip-driving intellectual property.” One of the main attractions here will be Nintendo Land, and Universal revealed this area will be larger than the Nintendo Land in both Japan and Hollywood.

Woodbury also revealed, “It’s the most technologically advanced park we’ve ever done,” adding, “And that speaks to both the attractions themselves, the next generation of robotics drone technology, all the way through to the guest experience. The full guest journey is really being taken to a whole new level.” Did you catch that? Drone technology! Wow!

The new park is set to open in Florida in 2025. We’re still waiting on an opening date, so stay tuned for updates!
