Epic Universe will be the newest addition to Universal Orlando when it opens on May 22, 2025.

The new park will feature five new worlds waiting to be discovered — Celestial Park, Dark Universe, Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic, Super Nintendo World, and How To Train Your Dragon: Isle of Berk. You’ll be immersed in the stories and tales of each of these exciting lands while experiencing new attractions, shops, shows, dining, and more. We can’t wait to visit the new theme park and finally experience it all for ourselves. But while we’re waiting for the park to open, let’s take a peek at the latest construction developments happening at the park!
When you first walk into Epic Universe, you’ll step into Celestial Park. Thanks to Bioreconstruct on X, you can see some major construction updates happening in this land!

Stardust Racers certainly looks EPIC!

Another land in the new park will be Super Nintendo World! Here you can see a look at the updates to Bowser’s Fortress! If this is going to be anything like the Super Nintendo World in Tokyo, then it’s going to be pretty amazing.

We are really excited for the How To Train Your Dragon area of the park! Meeting dragons is going to be a highlight of our lives. But riding Dragon Racer’s Rally is probably going to be a top level experience, as well!

Okay, but let’s talk about the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter. We’ll get to experience the Fantastic Beasts series in the streets of Paris AND go inside the Ministry of Magic! How awesome is that?! Here’s a look at the full size streets of Paris in this new land.

Also coming to the park is a brand new hotel that will be attached to and offer an entrance into the park — Helios Grand Hotel. This hotel will open with the park on May 22nd. We recently spotted the progress of this hotel, and from afar it’s looking nearly complete!

Two other resort hotels are also being built near the park — Stella Nova Resort and Terra Luna Resort. These hotels will be opening before the park. Stella Nova is opening on January 21st, 2025 and Terra Luna is opening on March 25th, 2025. These hotels are looking pretty amazing!

We can’t wait to stay at these beautiful hotels!

Universal has been putting in the work, and soon we’ll all get to experience the immersive fun at the new park and hotels! We’re keeping an eye out for any more updates from Universal Orlando and on the construction, so keep following AllEars for more!
