We’re still some months away from the opening of Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe, but we’re seeing a lot of signs of progress at the construction site.
We also just recently celebrated the grand opening of one of the new hotels that’s near Epic Universe, Universal Stella Nova Resort. But we want to see more of the actual theme park itself! So we’ve got a few NEW photos of Epic Universe to share with you.
The first set of photos comes from @bioreconstruct who recently got new aerial shots of Super Nintendo World. These photos are so good that they don’t even look real. The first photo shows the top of the Donkey Kong Mine Cart Madness ride.
Here’s another view of Donkey Kong Mine Cart Madness — you can see a fog effect on the ride, as well as more of its track.
Another photo shows a peek inside Super Mario Land. Again, it doesn’t even look real except that you can see construction workers on site.
A close-up of the land shows a game where you’ll be able to disable alarm clocks to keep a Piranha Plant from waking up. On the right is Toadstool Cafe, one of the dining options in the land.
We also managed to get some photos of the progress of Epic Universe when we were in the area. We saw the top of Starfall Racers in Celestial Park as well as one of the structures in How To Train Your Dragon — Isle of Berk.
We also saw the back of the top of Donkey Kong Mine Cart Madness in Super Nintendo World.
We also got a video of the lightning effect being tested in Frankenstein Manor, the home of the Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment in Dark Universe.
Check out this view from Stella Nova Resort! You can see some lighting effects testing in Epic Universe’s Dark Universe. pic.twitter.com/q7dLGhQ3sC
