When Epic Universe opens, it will be the largest Universal Park in the U.S. It is set to feature over 50 attractions with ground-breaking technology throughout five different worlds connected through mystical portals.
Here’s what each of the different worlds will offer:
Celestial Park is the cosmic heart of Universal’s Epic Universe, where all of the adventures begin. At the center of the park, you will find portals to extraordinary worlds just waiting to be explored. But this “world between worlds” has an array of opportunities in itself before you embark on your favorite realm. It features exciting rides, dining experiences, retail locations and more entertainment options.
Travel through the iconic green pipe and step into a colorful landscape full of well-known characters and exciting challenges. Based on the beloved video game franchise, this land follows the original land in Japan and Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios in Hollywood.
There are countless themed entertainment opportunities, rides, and virtual reality experiences that bring your favorite elements of the classic video game to life. Jump into a “kart” for a thrilling race with the “Bowser’s Challenge” ride or hop into a mine cart to explore the jungle of “Donkey Kong County” in “Mine-Cart Madness.” Guests can also visit “Yoshi’s Snack Island,” “Turbo Boost Treats” or “Toadstool Cafe” to grab some treats and refreshments.
Isle of Berk: How to Train Your Dragon
Explore the intricate, hand-carved architecture and lush landscaping of the rugged Viking village in the heart of the Isle of Berk as you prepare to take to the skies and soar with dragons. From exhilarating attractions, meet-and-greets, and live entertainment, there is no shortage of adventures in this new world.
Guests can take a fly with the dragons on “Hiccup’s Wing Gliders,” a family-friendly thrill coaster that launches riders into the sky for a “dragon’s eye view” of Berk to explore extraordinary heights and the rolling hills surrounding the vibrant village. There will also be interactive training opportunities at “Dragon Racer’s Rally” and “Viking Training Camp” and much more.

Enter Dark Universe through a haunting portal with an electricity-charged spire on top that sends a jolt of excitement down your spine, resembling how misguided science experiments are brought to life. Based on Universal’s collection of early horror films, Dark Universe blends the classic stories of monsters like Dracula, The Wolf Man, Frankenstein’s Monster and more with a whole new generation of monsters and characters.
Twisted trees give off a spooky first impression and guests are sucked into this enthralling, shadowy world to explore a village ravaged by the wrath of unearthly creatures and the monstrous experiments of Dr. Victoria Frankenstein. Travel into the mysterious town to embark on unique adventures and discover new thrills. But beware, exciting opportunities are not the only things lurking around every corner.
Dark Universe is also getting an original score from legendary film composer Danny Elfman, whose distinct style of music ranges from whimsical to macabre.
Ministry of Magic: The Wizarding World of Harry Potter
Transporting visitors to a different era of the wizarding world, blending 1920s wizarding Paris from the “Fantastic Beasts” films with the iconic British Ministry of Magic.
With its first-of-its-kind ride technology, Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry builds upon the historic theme park innovation Universal is known for. This main attraction stars a character most Harry Potter fans love to hate.
