Universal Announces Opening Date for Epic Universe October 17, 2024

Universal Studios Florida Resort has FINALLY made the announcement I have waited over four years to report, the opening date of Universal’s Epic Universe theme park! Without further ado, here it is!

Universal Epic Universe is opening May 22nd, 2025 in Orlando, Florida! The new park is expected to include lands based upon the major Nintendo properties, including Super Mario World, Mario Kart, Yoshi’s Island, and Donkey Kong Country! On the other sides of the park, we’re expected to see rides and attractions based upon Harry Potter, How to Train Your Dragon, and the Universal Monsters franchises!

Some of these rides, particularly the Mario Kart and Yoshi’s Adventure experiences have already opened in other Universal Parks around the world, but this new park will have the space to fully flesh out these experiences and possibly offer all new ones, including the new land based upon Donkey Kong Country! I can’t wait to check this out!
