UPDATED: May 6th, 2025
Have you heard the news? Epic Universe is here, and we are PUMPED.

The highly anticipated Universal Orlando theme park began previews earlier this year, and recently, it opened to Annual Passholders, Universal hotel guests, and more. So far, these previews have been super popular, with certain dates selling out. For anyone wanting to attend a preview, we’ve got crucial information that you need!
We’re going over EVERY sold out date from Epic Universe Annual Passholder previews. Previously, previews ended on May 8th, but these have been extended through May 19th. The park officially opens on May 22nd.
We will continue to update this post as dates sell out!
In May, there are still several dates available. However, weekends are almost completely full! May 6th, 7th, 10th, 17th, and 18th are sold out. Your best bet for previews is the week of May 12th.

In case you missed it, anyone can purchase an Epic Universe preview ticket now! It’s no longer exclusive to Annual Passholders and other groups.

Epic Universe is made up of five unique and immersive lands. You’ll enter Celestial Park first, which features a dueling coaster called Stardust Racers and beautiful spaces to wander through.

Then there’s the portals. Going clockwise from the main entrance, you’ll find Super Nintendo World. Taking inspiration from the existing lands at Universal Hollywood and Universal Japan, you can race in Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge, interact with Power-Up Bands around the land, or go on the thrilling Mine Cart Madness coaster.

Next is Dark Universe, which was built with the fans of classic Universal Monsters in mind. Face the monsters head-on in Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment or dine at Das Stakehaus. Oh, and don’t forget to meet Frankenstein’s Monster and his bride!

Harry Potter fans can enter the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic! You can enjoy a Bieraubeurre (AKA Butterbeer) around 1920s Paris or watch Dolores Umbridge stand trial in Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry.

And last but certainly not least is the land that surprised us the most — How to Train Your Dragon — Isle of Berk! This portal is so magical. You can meet dragons around the land, fly like Toothless, try a Mac & Cheese Cone, or watch The Untrainable Dragon show. It doesn’t get better than that!

We’re working on covering EVERYTHING in Epic Universe, so check out the rest of the site for more information. It’s a massive park, so every second counts!
