Universal Studios Florida has set the stage for even more excitement with an updated entrance music loop that immerses guests in the worlds of their favorite films. The refreshed soundtrack now includes epic scores from popular franchises, serving as a subtle nod to Universal’s upcoming park, Epic Universe.
Among the standout additions are tracks from How to Train Your Dragon, part of a beloved DreamWorks franchise that will have its own themed land in Epic Universe when it opens in 2025. Songs like “Test Drive” and “Flying with Mother” evoke the wonder of flying with dragons, building anticipation for the thrills to come. This new music choice perfectly complements the adventurous atmosphere of the park, making guests feel as though they’re already stepping into Berk before they’ve even entered.

Epic Universe is poised to be Universal’s most ambitious park yet, featuring several immersive lands, including a How to Train Your Dragon area, a new Wizarding World of Harry Potter experience centered around the Ministry of Magic, and a Universal Monsters section where legends like Dracula and Frankenstein will come to life. Guests can also look forward to Super Nintendo World, where they’ll step into the vibrant landscapes of their favorite video games, complete with interactive rides and character encounters.
The entrance music update also includes familiar pieces from Harry Potter, such as “Buckbeak’s Flight” and “Harry’s Wondrous World,” deepening the sense of magic as guests pass under the arches. This musical connection bridges the current Wizarding World attractions in Universal’s existing parks with what’s to come in Epic Universe. Other franchises, such as Jurassic World, are also represented, enhancing the cinematic atmosphere of the entryway.
Universal’s decision to refresh the entrance soundtrack is a smart move, reinforcing its focus on immersive storytelling and keeping fans buzzing with anticipation. For many visitors, hearing these iconic themes enhances their excitement, reminding them that Universal Orlando is a place where the worlds of fantasy and adventure truly collide. With Epic Universe promising to deliver unforgettable experiences, the new music loop is just the beginning of the next chapter in Universal’s theme park legacy.
