Universal Orlando Resort has revealed plans for several new experiences at Universal CityWalk, including a pair of April openings.

The new experiences coming soon include the Universal Legacy Store, which will return in late April with exclusive retro merchandise and photo opportunities inspired by iconic films and attractions from Universal Pictures, including E.T., Jaws, Back to the Future and Universal Monsters.

The new store will replace the Universal Epic Universe Preview Center, which will officially close on Monday, April 13.

Five Guys is also coming to Universal CityWalk later this summer. The beloved burger joint will take over the existing Burger King Whopper Bar location, which will close on Tuesday, April 21.

Additionally, country music star Luke Combs and Opry Entertainment Group will bring his namesake entertainment venue, Luke Combs' Category 10, to a brand-new waterfront location in 2027. Once open, visitors can look forward to live music, food and spirits at this one-of-a-kind gathering spot.

Universal Orlando Resort said it plans to unveil additional details about the projects in the months ahead.
