Universal Orlando Resort announced that their newest park, Epic Universe, is now set to Open in 2025!
Last week during a call with NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell it was announced that the much-anticipated opening of Epic Universe Park at Universal Orlando Resort is now set for 2025.
Plagued by a year-long interruption of construction due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the park was originally announced in 2019 and scheduled to open in 2023, but the pandemic had other plans.
“Epic is full steam ahead,” NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell said. “I was down there a few weeks ago and the construction is going really well. We expect that park to open 2025, and certainly in time for the summer of 2025. We’ll be back to you and everybody when we get more granular on the date.”
Construction on Epic Universe resumed in March of 2021. Super Nintendo World has been confirmed as one of the lands in Epic Universe, which has already made a big splash at Universal Japan. We can expect ‘The Secret Life of Pets’ ride that debuted at Universal Studios Hollywood in 2021 to join the new park.
“We are going to make a fabulous park at Epic, and we are going as fast as we can now to make up for lost time,” Comcast CEO Brian Roberts said.
Epic will be Universal Orlando’s fourth theme park, joining Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure and Volcano Bay.
