Universal’s
Florida
resort
will
open
new
worlds
themed
around
franchises
like
Harry
Potter
and
Super
Mario
on
May
22,
2025.
The
announcement
sets
a
date
for
the
new
park
expansion,
dubbed
“Epic
Universe,”
which
consists
of
four
new
worlds
connected
via
a
centralized
hotel
and
shopping
distinct
called
Celestial
Park.
The
lineup
includes
Super
Nintendo
World,
the
first
to
open
on
the
US
East
Coast
following
earlier
versions
that
debuted
in
California
and
Japan.
Some
early
glimpses
reveal
it
has
all
the
theming
you’d
expect
for
an
immersive
Mushroom
Kingdom
experience
—
down
to
entering
the
world
through
a
massive
green
pipe
—
and
is
supposedly
larger
than
the
two
previous
parks.
A
third
Harry
Potter
park
is
also
one
of
the
most
anticipated
arrivals,
which
is
designed
to
resemble
the
Ministry
of
Magic
from
the
original
movies,
and
elements
of
the
more
recent
Fantastic
Beasts
spinoff.
The
“Dark
Universe”
world
is
a
literal
monster
mash
that’s
designed
around
all
the
classic
supernatural
villains
featured
in
Universal
Studio’s
earliest
hits,
with
Dracula,
Frankenstein,
and
the
Wolfman
running
around.
And
the
last
world,
called
the
Isle
of
Berk,
is
themed
after
the
How
To
Train
Your
Dragon
franchise,
which
may
have
actual
robotic
dragons
flying
around
over
guests’
heads.
Universal
says
that
all
five
realms
of
the
new
Epic
Universe
park
(including
Celestial
park)
will
be
available
on
opening
day
next
spring.
Tickets
go
on
sale
starting
this
October
22,
and
you
can
catch
up
with
all
the
experiences
and
rides
that
have
been
announced
so
far
on
Universal’s
online
hub.
