Universal Orlando's upcoming Epic Universe aims to redefine its role in Central Florida's tourism landscape, marked by a $7 billion investment from Comcast. Opening in 2025, the park will feature five immersive worlds based on popular franchises, including Harry Potter and Super Nintendo. This significant expansion not only doubles the size of the resort but also positions Universal as a direct rival to Disney's offerings, especially following Disney's last major development in 2019. The project is considered the most ambitious theme park development in North America recently, showcasing Universal's commitment to growth.
For decades, Universal Orlando was often seen as the appetizer to Disney World's main course-a fun stop, but not the central reason tourists flocked to Central Florida.
Slated to open in 2025, Epic Universe introduces five deeply immersive new worlds, each packed with beloved movie and video game franchises.
Epic Universe is anchored by five distinctly themed lands: The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Super Nintendo World, How to Train Your Dragon, and a completely original concept, Celestial Park.
This expansion stakes a clear challenge to Walt Disney World, whose last major addition was Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge in 2019.
