![]() ![]() Epic Universe was originally slated to open in 2023, but that date has been pushed back a few years. ©UniversalĪnd finally, we have the basis of an opening timeline. We know that this will officially be Universal Orlando’s fourth theme park (since they count Volcano Bay as a theme park), and that the lands in the park will be based on “ some of the Illumination and DreamWorks content but especially Nintendo.” It’s going to be home to the massively popular Super Nintendo World (an area that is currently open at Universal Studios Japan), which will likely draw in many guests on its own. Universal filed a permit for a 750-room hotel that will be built along Universal Boulevard. ©Universal/ComcastĪnother hotel has been confirmed to be at the new park as well. Epic Universe isn’t supposed to open until 2025. Recently the Orlando Business Journal also reported that there’s a possibility a hotel may be inside the theme park! A real-time database of commercial real estate transactions called Real Capital Analytics shows that the project called “Universal’s Epic Universe Hotel One” which is a “500-unit, full-service hotel” will be completed by Q4 2023. By the time April rolled around, there was more development and sectioning of the land, but still not many major changes. At the time, much of the land was still undeveloped, but construction crews were visible on site. ©Orlando Business Journalīut despite the lawsuits, there is construction progress happening in the new park! In early 2022, the first structures could be seen in an aerial view of the land. Universal City Property Management was sued by Fourth Watch Acquisitions in relation to the purchase of the land, specifically for “breach of a real estate purchase agreement.” Fourth Watch claimed they had entered into a real estate purchase agreement with UCPM in 2017, and because of this loss, they’re suing Universal and UCPM for $250 million. However, there has been some controversy surrounding the land purchases for Epic Universe.

Here, it will have its own shopping and dining district, and new hotels. Instead, it’ll be located near the Orange County Convention Center, about 2 miles southeast of Universal Orlando Resort. Let’s start this out with what we DO know about Universal’s next theme park! First of all, we know that it won’t be attached to the current Universal Orlando parks or site. So today, we’re breaking down everything we know (and don’t know!) about Epic Universe. We’re thrilled to have another big-name theme park in Central Florida, but we still have lots of questions about this ongoing project. Universal’s Epic Universe is going to be a new addition to the Universal Orlando offerings, set to open before summer 2025. There’s a NEW theme park coming to Orlando, and we are stoked! ©Universal/Comcast
