Universal Orlando Previews $1 Billion Epic Universe Theme Park
Skift Take
Universal Orlando is building a fourth complex in Florida, with a "celestial" park as its hub. But it remains to be seen if visitors believe the $1 billion Epic Universe theme park can outshine the magic of the company's larger rival, Disney.
Comcast’s Universal Studios released preview images and details about Celestial Park, one of the themed areas at Universal Epic Universe — a $1 billion theme park complex slated to open in 2025 a few miles from its flagship Universal Orlando resort.
The Epic Universe complex — with a couple dozen rides and attractions — will become Universal Studios' fourth campus in Florida, after Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, and the Volcano Bay. They together draw 20 million-plus visitors a year.
Guests at Epic Universe will move via tunnels among five themed areas.
The main hub of these five themed areas is Celestial Park. Here are key facts and renderings about this area.
