2025 will be a year of celebration for Universal Orlando Resort, as it marks the opening of the much-anticipated new theme park, Universal Epic Universe. While it’s considered one big theme park, Epic Universe consists of five different worlds, each offering guests a unique immersive experience featuring rides, shows, character meet and greets, shopping, dining, and more.
As Universal Epic Universe officially opens on May 22, 2025, it will become a go-to destination for theme park enthusiasts and visitors of Orlando, Florida. Screen Rant was invited to the official media preview event before the grand opening, so if you’re looking to experience everything Universal’s newest park has to offer, or you want to craft a specific to-do list, here’s your complete guide to Epic Universe’s five immersive worlds.
Celestial Park
Epic Universe’s Celestial Park is the center of Universal’s new entertainment destination, or, as it’s described, “the cosmic heart of Universal Epic Universe.” When you enter Epic Universe, you step right into Celestial Park. Not only does it contain the portal entries to the four other immersive worlds that make up Epic Universe, but Celestial Park also features the Universal Grand Helios Hotel. Guests of the hotel are just steps away from an exclusive entrance into Epic Universe, with access to stellar views of the entire park and its giant fountain.
Rides
Celestial Park is home to two rides, including what I’d consider the most intense offering for thrill-seekers. First is Stardust Racers, a dual-launch roller coaster featuring two tracks. The coasters reach speeds of 62 mph and take riders through moves like the “Celestial Spin” as the comets race each other to the finish line. To get the full experience, ride both of the tracks since they each offer a different riding experience.
The backs of both coasters on Stardust Racers are equipped with Flux Compacitors as a nod to the Back to the Future franchise, a Universal property.
The second ride option is Constellation Carousel, Celestial Park’s centerpiece attraction. This cosmic-infused ride uses celestial animals and creatures that guests can ride, which spin and reach heights of 6 feet. The ride also features special music and light visuals to fit the galactic theme.

Attractions
Unlike the other worlds in Epic Universe, Celestial Park isn’t based on Universal’s existing IP. Instead, the central location relies on astronomy and mythology to immerse visitors in the cosmic world. When entering the park, guests will walk under Chronos Tower, which features a special display each morning to activate and open the other four portals in the park. Celestial Park also has statues, gardens, and fountain shows.
Food Options
For those wondering about dining options, Celestial Park has the most to offer. The two full-service restaurants are Atlantic and The Blue Dragon Pan-Asian Restaurant. Aside from that, there are nine other food options that range from quick service to snack areas and bars.

How To Train Your Dragon – Isle Of Berk
Get ready to step right into the world of How to Train Your Dragon when entering Epic Universe’s Isle of Berk portal. You’ll first encounter the village’s large lagoon and giant Viking statues. Around the village, there are wooden structures, dragon habitats, and wandering figures that may be familiar to fans of the movie franchise. From Vikings in training to hopeful dragon riders, there’s plenty to do in Isle of Berk.
Rides
How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk has several rides, including Hiccup’s Wing Gliders, a roller coaster that incorporates Hiccup and Toothless. Then there’s Dragon Racer’s Rally, which isn’t a coaster, but it’s not for the faint of heart. Riders sit atop gliders while controlling their own acrobatics through the air for a more personalized experience.
For younger guests, Isle of Berk offers Fyre Drill, an interactive boat ride that allows teams to soak each other with water cannons. Of course, there’s also the Viking Training Camp, a playground area for youngsters to learn what it would take to become a Viking.

The Wizarding World Of Harry Potter – Ministry Of Magic

If you’ve been patiently waiting for more from The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Universal’s Ministry of Magic park might be your first stop in Epic Universe. After journeying through a portal that takes you to the Muggle version of Paris, visitors will be transported to Place Caché, the Wizarding World’s version of 1920s Paris. From there, you can walk the city streets full of various shops, cafés, and enchanting attractions.
Rides
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic features one ride, and it shouldn’t be missed. Whereas the Epic Universe world primarily highlights Fantastic Beasts elements, Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry ride brings a big piece of the main Harry Potter series to life. To get to the ride, guests will enter the Métro-Floo, which will take them to the British Ministry of Magic, where they will witness Dolores Umbridge’s trial.
As one of the biggest attractions in Epic Universe, the queue line is settled inside a giant atrium building and is followed by plenty of smaller rooms for visitors to enjoy while waiting to board the ride. Groups of guests then board omnidirectional lifts before joining Harry, Ron, and Hermione to capture the escaped Umbridge while fighting against Death Eaters.

Dark Universe

For the horror lovers making a visit to Universal’s new park, Dark Universe will be like a dream (or nightmare?) come true. Entering the portal takes visitors into Darkmoor Village, the home of haunting structures like Frankenstein Manor. If not checking out one of the many attractions or dining options, you can also walk around the eerie town where you might encounter some iconic figures.
Rides
The main highlight in Dark Universe is Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment, a thrill ride located within the walls of Frankenstein Manor. It follows Dr. Victoria Frankenstein’s experiments after they’ve gone wrong, with appearances by characters like The Wolf Man, Dracula, The Mummy, and The Creature from the Black Lagoon. Speaking of The Wolf Man, there’s also a werewolf-themed ride set in the haunted woods.

Food Options
Dark Universe offers three main quick option food locations throughout the area. Vampire fans would want to check out Das Stakehaus due to the “familiars” and storied artifacts housed at the location. Otherwise, The Burning Blade Tavern includes monster head trophies and a windmill on top of the building that bursts into flames throughout the day.

Super Nintendo World
Epic Universe’s Super Nintendo World is broken into two mini parks: Super Mario Land and Donkey Kong Country. After entering the franchise’s familiar green pipe, guests will first enter Super Mario Land, and it will feel like you’ve been transported right into Mushroom Kingdom as every detail from the ground up is Super Mario-themed. Across the way, you’ll head into the tropical island of Donkey Kong Country, which is just as immersive and detailed.
Rides
After entering Bowser’s Castle, you’ll put on interactive goggles and board Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge, where you can ride with Super Mario characters on courses to gather coins in the hopes of winning the Golden Cup against Team Boswer. The younger visitors in Super Mario Land have the opportunity to explore the park on Yoshi ride for a special adventure. Then, in Donkey Kong Country, there’s another thrilling roller coaster that involves mining carts and the Golden Temple.

Attractions
Like the other parks in Epic Universe, there will be meet and greets with notable Super Mario characters. However, the other cool aspect inside Super Nintendo World is the interactive games that can be played with official Power-Up bands. After purchasing a band, users can go around the park to punch blocks, earn coins, find special keys, and collect attraction stamps, all of which can be tracked on Universal’s app.
Once you collect three keys with your Power-Up band, you can unlock Bowser Jr. Shadow Showdown, a final game to recover the stolen Golden Mushroom.
Food Options
There will be so much to see and do inside Super Nintendo World, but there are several quick-service food options for visitors who need a fuel break. Inspired by beloved characters, menu items include themed burgers, mushroom soup, spaghetti, and an array of snacks and drinks.
