A new report claims that the Universal Orlando Resort plans
to open the new Universal Epic Universe theme park next summer.
According to the Wall
Street Journal, Universal officials are targeting a full opening by
Memorial Day weekend 2025, despite no previous opening date being announced and
the theme park not confirming the report.
While the report goes on to say that tickets for the new
theme park could go on sale this month, there was a caveat added that states, “the
timing of the planned opening could change,” so travelers are warned to be
patient before planning a trip.
The Universal Epic Universe property is being constructed
near the Orange County Convention Center.
It will feature several themed lands,
including the Ministry of Magic from the Potter series, Super Nintendo World,
How to Train Your Dragon and Dark Universe, featuring classic monsters.
In addition, the new theme park will boast three
Universal-owned hotels—opening in January and February—and an entrance area,
dubbed Celestial Park, scheduled to include rides and restaurants.
