Universal Epic Universe: A Spectacular Journey through the Cosmos
Universal Epic Universe, a groundbreaking theme park slated to open its doors in 2025 at the Universal Orlando Resort in Florida, promises an extraordinary experience like no other. Comprising five distinct lands teeming with adventure, thrills, and wonder, this ambitious project is set to redefine the very essence of immersive entertainment.
The Enchanting Worlds of Epic Universe
From the spellbinding realms of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic to the high-octane excitement of Super Nintendo World, Epic Universe beckons visitors into a universe brimming with magic, mystery, and endless possibilities. Among the featured lands are the awe-inspiring How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk, the dark and mysterious Dark Universe, and the celestial wonder of Celestial Park.
Situated on a sprawling 750-acre site near the Orange County Convention Center, a mere 12-minute journey from the main Universal Orlando Resort hub, Epic Universe offers a grand tapestry of experiences that will capture the imagination and ignite the senses of all who venture within.
Welcome to Celestial Park
Celestial Park, a themed world designed to captivate space enthusiasts and astronomy aficionados, is a verdant oasis where discovery and delight converge in a symphony of innovation and wonder. Described as a “lush, green world where thrills, entertainment, dining, and shopping lead all who enter on an exhilarating journey of discovery,” Celestial Park is a testament to the boundless creativity and imagination that underpins Epic Universe.
The entrance to Celestial Park, marked by the Emerald Gate and the imposing Chronos device, offers a portal to a myriad of heavenly attractions. From the heart-pounding Starfall Racers roller coaster to the whimsical Constellation Carousel and the delectable delights of Moonship Chocolates & Celestial Sweets, visitors are invited to embark on a cosmic voyage unlike any other.
In the words of Adam Rivest, the executive producer for Celestial Park, “Chronos is this giant machine used to harness the energy of the universe that powers all of Celestial Park, allowing us to open the portals to other worlds.” This fusion of technology and magic sets the stage for an unforgettable adventure that awaits within the park’s celestial boundaries.
Embark on a Cosmic Journey
Step into the cosmic realm of Celestial Park and experience the thrill of a lifetime aboard the Starfall Racers. This dual-launch coaster propels riders across the stars at speeds of up to 62 mph, reaching heights of 133 feet along a track spanning 5,000 feet. Feel the rush of zero gravity as you race alongside a comet in a breathtaking display of light, color, and exhilaration.
According to Rivest, “While it’s giant and looks really intimidating at first, it’s designed to feel like an old wooden coaster, but smooth as a button. So you’ll rise up in your seat and get those zero-G feels.” With signature maneuvers and a thrilling 1.8-mile track, the Starfall Racers offer a competitive and captivating experience for riders of all ages.
For a more enchanting journey through the stars, climb aboard the Constellation Carousel, where guests are transported amidst the cosmic constellations themselves. As Gabriela Lander, the director of facility design for Universal Creative, describes it, “The traditional carousel of our childhood is being redefined by the stars!”
Discover the Helios Grand Hotel
After a day filled with cosmic adventures, guests can retreat to the luxurious confines of the Helios Grand Hotel, nestled within Epic Universe at the far end of Celestial Park. This full-service accommodation offers a sanctuary where the heavens and Earth unite, providing a celestial experience that mirrors the magic of the park itself.
As part of Epic Universe’s visionary approach to immersive entertainment, the Helios Grand Hotel joins a family of sister accommodations, including the deluxe Universal Stella Nova Resort and Universal Terra Luna Resort, all of which are themed to the wonders of the cosmos.
In the words of Adam Rivest, “Epic is not just an idea; it is a living, breathing entity that we are creating here in Orlando, and so many people have been nurturing it along the way. So it’s just really exciting that we’re about to share this park with the world.”
Prepare to embark on a celestial journey unlike any other, as Universal Epic Universe unveils a world of enchantment, excitement, and infinite possibilities. Join us as we explore the cosmos and beyond in a realm where dreams take flight and adventures never end.
