The tour will feature a 30-foot-tall Chronos Tower! This will be a replica of the opening portal you enter Epic Universe through — an icon of Epic Universe’s gateway to the park. Guests visiting the tour will get to see the massive portal structure and witness thrilling sequences for the exciting adventures coming to the brand-new park.
