Universal also said annual pass holders will receive a priority opportunity to buy single-day tickets starting Oct. 24.
“This is such a pivotal moment for our destination, and we’re thrilled to welcome guests to Epic Universe next year,” said Karen Irwin, President and COO of Universal Orlando Resort. “With the addition of this spectacular new theme park, our guests will embark on an unforgettable vacation experience with a week’s worth of thrills that will be nothing short of epic! Our Universe will never be the same.”
The park will feature five unique areas to explore, including “Super Nintendo World,” “How to Train Your Dragon - Isle of Berk,” and “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic.”
