Epic Universe is set to introduce new worlds, characters, and experiences, expanding Universal Orlando Resort’s footprint and solidifying its status as a global entertainment powerhouse. Epic Universe is expected to showcase cutting-edge technology and design, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the realm of theme park attractions.

Universal Orlando Resort recently shared what Epic Universe will look like and the different worlds guests may experience, such as the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Classic Monsters, SUPER NINTENDO WORLD, and How To Train Your Dragon. Due to Epic Universe being the next big project, Universal Orlando has made changes and closed one of their beloved stores at CityWalk.

The Legacy Store at CityWalk closed earlier this month and may be in the process of becoming an Epic Universe preview center. Alicia Stella tweeted on X (formally known as Twitter) that the Epic Universe preview center is rumored to replace the former Legacy Store.

While more specific details about Epic Universe and this potential preview center are eagerly awaited, Universal’s new announcements certainly have created a buzz in the theme park world.

The new theme park is set to open in the summer of 2025 and will be Universal’s largest theme park in the world, joining Universal Studios Florida, Universal’s Islands of Adventure, and Universal’s Volcano Bay Water Park as offerings in Orlando.

Outside of Orlando, Universal has also been looking at Frisco, Texas to build another theme park that would focus on smaller children. This new theme park will be called Universal Kids Resort.
